Best Picture of 2008 - Blu-ray Forum

steve_99101 · 12-24-2008, 04:29 PM

if it was up to you which 5 movies would you nominate for Best Picture (Academy Award not PQ) and which 1 would win, just curious what people think since it's getting close, please be realistic

Many might type in Baraka, Wall E, or Kung Fu Panda. But "The Dark Knight" reigns at the top of ALL of my best lists. Those IMAX scenes are amazing.

My bad, I thought you meant picture quality. I bet some boring drama movie is going to win best picture of 2008.

steve_99101 · 12-24-2008, 04:47 PM

sorry i wasn't too clear on that, its for the Oscars not PQ

Agreed. Save the Drama for your mama.

GoYanks · 12-24-2008, 04:48 PM

probably between milk, slumdog millionaire, the wrestler, benjamin button, and gran turino? or dark knight?

steve_99101 · 12-24-2008, 04:51 PM

he was fantastic. I'm sure he'll get a nomination, but I think it's already in the bag for the dude from Milk whose name escapes me.

Kaiju · 12-24-2008, 04:55 PM

The Dark Knight.

Brad1963 · 12-24-2008, 05:05 PM

Frozen River, Milk or Frost/Nixon (so far)

BIGLAD · 12-24-2008, 05:08 PM

Burn After Reading.

dvd_mazter · 12-24-2008, 05:45 PM

Out of everything I have saw this year based upon movies themselves not disc quality.

- Wall-e
- The Dark Knight
- Tropic Thunder
- Zack & Miri Make a Porno
- Iron Man

The Dark Knight would win for me but Wall-e would be a very close second. I haven't seen a few key movies that seem like they would get nominated such as The Wrestler and Benjammin Button so I can't say for sure but overall, TDK.

TheForce8686 · 12-24-2008, 05:47 PM

I would pick Dark Knight, Iron Man, Tropic Thunder, Pineapple Express, and Rambo

PanasonicPlasmaMan · 12-24-2008, 05:49 PM

S0 far i would have to say either Frist/Nixon or Gran Turino but I still have to watch Revolutionary Road and Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

bigpapy · 12-24-2008, 05:54 PM

Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

bdadhat · 12-24-2008, 06:12 PM

I would say Dark Knight - it was simply a great movie. Forget the license, and it is still a great movie.

But it will win a bunch of technical stuff and some other drama will win BP

Oh well...

JamesKurtovich · 12-24-2008, 06:16 PM

Wall-E was definitely one of the best this year.

The Dark Knight was fantastic.. and I think it's a good contestant.
