Re: EW's 25 Movies to see before the Oscars

  • Oh boy...I only saw two.  But thanks for sharing b/c this is a good list to work from.  We don't get to the movies much anymore so I have to wait for On-demand or Netflix and then sometimes it is tough to remember what I was looking forward to seeing.

    I really want to see the Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.  I tried to watch United 93 and lost it.  So, I know this might be a tear-jerker.

  • I've only seen 5, but there are several that are on my list.  I doubt I'll get to them all before the Oscars, though.

  • I've seen The Help, Hugo, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball, Ides of March, and J. Edgar and attempted Beginners and Tree of Life.

    If I had to pick Oscars now, I'd say The Artist for Best Pic and Director, Descendants and Midnight in Paris for Screenplay, and acting awards for Streep, Pitt, Plummer, and Spencer.  It'll be interesting.

    I want to see quite a few of the movies listed above, but only when they come out on video.

  • Seen:
    The Artist, The Descendants, War Horse, The Help, Hugo, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Tree of Life, Drive, Young Adult, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

    Will definitely see before Oscars:
    Shame, We Need to Talk about Kevin, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (even though that's not on EWs list)

    Will probably see before Oscars:
    Albert Nobbs

    Will rent:
    Bridesmaids, The Ides of March, The Iron Lady, Beginners

    Will see if it's on HBO and I've got nothing to do on a Friday night:
    J. Edgar, My Week with Marilyn, Rango

    Will see if I feel like crying myself to sleep:
    Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory

    Will not see unless I have no choice:
    Kung Fu Panda 2

    Will buy on Bluray so I can watch it again and again:
    Tree of Life


  • I've seen 7 (Artist, Help, Hugo, Bridesmaids, HP, Tree of Life, Moneyball) and my favorite by far was Hugo. Before the Oscars I hope to see Drive, J. Edgar, Week with Marilyn, Talk about Kevin, and the Descendants. I am reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and may see that as well.
