I need to go to the cinema today (or buy a DVD that isn't Wall-E) to see a film to review for the Sandhurst Directory. Recommendations with an Oscar connection please......

Doubt - Philip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep are both Oscar-nominated (and magnificent).
Or on DVD, Network - last film to win one of its stars a posthumous Oscar. Appropriate with dear-departed Heath up for an Oscar. Network's just £3.98 from Amazon - or @ fiver with next-day delivery.... And as you used to kinda work in TV and all....

Right. Am off to Kingston now (need some new rock star jeans for my 1.15am gig tonight/tomorrow) and will stick a pin in the wall. Am tempted to go with The Reader (Kate's bum rrrooowwlll) or the Jenson Button thingie (Cate Blanchett rrrooowwwlll).

DVD - Naked - David Thewlis won every award apart from the Oscar (he was interviewed before the nominations and said that he would refuse to wear a tux to the ceremony and was then blanked from the nominations).
What's Eating Gilbert Grape - Di Caprio's first Oscar nomination.
Cinema - Vicky Cristina Barcelona - Scarlett Johansson I would oscar to marry me!

JohnDuncan:Well I went to see Benjamin Buttonzzzz...
I wasn't expecting much though I've heard through friends it's very good. Care to elaborate?
On the film recommendation topic we have just finished watching Romanzo Criminale. It's an Italian gangster film inspired by true events that occurred in Rome in the 1960s, the rise and fall of a prolific underworld organization.
Even though it doesn't seem to have won the critics attention (not even an entry on ROTTOM nor any of your required Oscars) we thought it was a truly captivating film - approaching if not on a par with "The Godfather".
