It gives me hope that we'll get back there. It’s amazing, in retrospect, how many good films were nominated recently, and I do not include the last few years in this.

After the incredible opening, it was a big let down when you realize they go through all that trouble just for Matt Damon. It's funny how there were three WWII films, and two Elizabethan flicks, nominated that year. There were a lot of Oscar worthy movies that year ... The Big Lebowski, Gods and Monsters, Buffalo 66, Dark City, A Simple Plan, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Affliction, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, etc. I agree about Saving Ryan’s Privates.

Didn't know that "Master and Commander" was nominated in 2003. Wow. Didn't know "Babe" was for 1995 either, or "Godfather Part III." My lord. This post inspired me to do some digging on Wikipedia.

I'd always wished they'd make the sequel in to a movie as well ("The Kindness of Women"), ideally with Christian Bale reprising his role.
