Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

Didn't you get the memo? Best Picture nominees automatically become honorary American films.

I'm surprised they didn't put LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL on this list.

Those were the two names that came to mind (both within 30 seconds) but I wasn't confident about either until reading your replies. I wouldn't be surprised if under the pressure of the cameras I'd have drawn a complete blank. What was the category the question was announced to be in before the cont...

I wonder if frets about title confusion with the Payne film are the major hang-up preventing the Johnnie To Election from being picked up by a US distributor despite having been sold to pretty much every other territory in the world? I'm on the verge of going to Chinatown to pick up the DVD of this...

When my neighborhood theatre booked a double bill of San Francisco and Follow the Fleet last year I actually took the opportunity to try to recreate a 1936-style moviegoing experience, intentionally coming in during the middle of Follow the Fleet , watching San Francisco in full, and then leaving &...

I don't subscribe to either, but I have friends who do, and here are a few plusses and minuses as far as I can gather: netflix: ships from many locations greencine: ships only from one location in San Francisco, so if you don't live near there it might take a while to get discs netflix: has a large...

This is actually the second year that the Balboa has hosted a series like this; last year Experiment in Terror played with the Sniper , the Conversation with Petulia , Vertigo with Woman on the Run , and both the 1931 and 1941 versions of the Maltese Falcon played together. Perhaps Time After Time ...

I have no idea why Warners missed the opportunity to release San Francisco in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the 1906 earthquake and the 70th anniverary of the film's release in April, but I'm glad it's finally coming to DVD. In the age of Amazon pre-orders and Netflix/Greencine queues, ...
