I re-watched TFC about a year or so ago. I wouldn't say pretty bad, but I get that it's held in high esteem mostly because of what it was for its time. Definitely liked it more when I first saw it as a kid.
Agree that A Clockwork Orange (or The Last Picture Show) was the better film up for Best Picture that year.
Bullitt and Point Blank are (imo) the superior 'gritty' movies from around the same period.

I took my mom to see Green Book yesterday. It was really great. I know there is a bunch of controversy about how true it is, but it was a fantastic film. Funny, sad, and two stellar performances.

I saw A Star Is Born last night. It was good, but I get why it’s not the awards season favorite. Lady Gaga was surprisingly good in it, and not just the singing.

Green book was ok. It was a little straightforward for what the movie was about but worth a watch.

Straightforward, yes, and predictable, but really funny, and I thought they were both amazing. Agreed on the performances, both of them were great. I've thought about parts of it from time to time since watching it which usually means I liked it a lot. Just a bit of a heavy handed approach to things but overall a winner. That fried chicken...

I watched the favourite. I enjoyed it while it was on but as soon as it went off it felt meh. I haven't seen Roma but this was a decent batch of movies to choose from. I think I liked Bohemian Rhapsody the most.

Enjoyed Lobster as well and gave it a thumbs up in the NF thread. As far as the films mentioned above, I haven't seen either. You fellas discussing them has definitely peeked my interest though. I'll try to check them out soon.
