I haven't seen all of the movies listed above. Good Night was excellent and I'm glad they made the movie, but no one could ever duplicate the real Edward R. Murrow. He was one of a kind, a truly magnetic and fascinating personality. I posted a topic about his biography at: ====>

BTW, I put "Crash" on my Netflix queue. Below is a link to the Netflix description for the benefit of anyone who might be curious about it: ====>

"Genres: Drama, Crime Dramas, Indie Dramas, Social Issue Dramas"
Sounds interesting.

Crash was good for it's raw honesty.

Out of all those listed above, the only one I feel was Oscar worthy was Good Night. I've seen every one of the movies listed above.

I thought it was OK at best, there were long periods when nothing happened. I don't think it deserved the Oscar.

I finished watching our Netflix DVD "Brokeback Mountain" (2005).

The movie is based on a short story by Annie Proulx. The screenplay was written by Larry McMurtry & Diana Ossana.

I found it to be an engrossing movie. Very sad but full of beautiful sequences. Heath Ledger & Jake Gyllenhaal were excellent as two ranch hands who, during long months of isolation herding sheep in the Wyoming Mountains, develop an unusual bond.

A quote from the movie:
"If you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it."
