I guess one of the film's of 2023, Oppenheimer, must be in the mix. Very well made, pretty close to accurate throughout and a superb performance by Cillian Murphy.
I really enjoyed it. The Academy love a biopic, so I wouldn't bet against it winning Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor, probably even more.

I usually avoid them like the plague. In my opinion the older ones are too sappy and inaccurate. The newer ones go overboard with controversy to garner publicity. I have always been a Laurel & Hardy fan, for this reason I didn't want to see "Stan & Ollie." I decided to watch a little of it, and was completely surprised at the depiction, quality, and story. If you are a fan or not I suggest seeing it. I recently had to watch a print of "The Magic Box," to check the condition. Again I enjoyed the film. I think it was fairly accurate in general, and entertaining. I know there are others, but these come to mind. Just thought I would start the year off with a fairly light topic. Hope you all have a Happy New Year. ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1 Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
