it's a very well done biopic. Sean Penn deserves his accolades. I enjoyed it.

But I've seen movies I liked far better this year. My absolute favorite was Stranded, a documentary.

I realize few people see documentaries. I realize these don't get nominated for Best Picture Oscar.

I talked for hours about the events depicted in this movie. I've spent many other hours thinking about it. It stayed with me. This was clearly the movie that meant the most to me personally this year.

And since then, I've seen it on TV. It loses much of the impact on TV. It should be seen in a theater.

You talking about: 'Stranded: I've Come from a Plane That Crashed on the Mountains'? - Tony D. 21:39:25 12/23/08 (1)
If so then yes, it really put the hook in me and the two folk I saw the film with. It still comes up at times these months later.

Have you seen 'The Bridge' ? Another documentary that stung me.

Just going out for a walk carried significance and made for thoughtful reflection after having seen it.
