I'll be honest... I'm not a big Leonardo DiCaprio fan. But this movie is an exception! I really enjoy the intensity that he brings to this role. Of course, watching Jack Nicholson perform is like taking a free acting class. I'm not sure if there is a casting award, but if there is "The Departed" should win for a number of perfect choices... Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, Matt Damon, the psychologist girlfriend, the entire mob crew, etc. This DVD is part of our "home viewing" collection. No matter how many times I watch this movie, I'm on edge...anticipating each person's next move...even though I know what's going to happen! On a family rating note, if you are not a fan of the "f-word," this is not the film for you.
I enjoy watching GOOD movies and I wanted a simple place to find them. Listed on this site is every movie that has won the category "Best Motion Picture" of the Academy Awards. Just because a movie has won an award, doesn't mean it is "the best." That is why I invite you to share your own critique - good or bad - about any of the films listed (keep it clean!). Personally, I think that looking back on the winners says a lot about our society at a particular time. I hope you enjoy reviewing this list as much as I have. If you are like me, you may not have seen a lot of these movies. That's why I've posted links so that you can purchase any of the movies from Amazon.com; when different formats are available, I've tried to include each one. So, get the popcorn and Twizzlers ready!!
