The two examples that come to my mind especially are both from Jaws (Brody being browbeaten on the ferry, Brody and Hooper warning Vaughn about the great white).
West Side Story (January 9)
The King's Man (January 13)
Nightmare Alley (February 3)
Parallel Mothers (February 19)
Cyrano (February 24)
The Godfather (February 25)
I'm seeing Belfast on Tuesday, Godfather Part II Friday, and The Batman Saturday.
I saw this movie twice in theatres, and yet it's only now that it's really registered that that was a long take.
Okay, it might not be a real one and just put together with editing, but it's still impressive as fuck.
Here's hoping.
At the same time though, we have Kaminski, Lubezki, Prieto, and Sandgren all releasing films at the end of the year (and if Empire of Light is finished on time, then Deakins will almost inevitably be nominated), so I can't help but feel a little hesitant to say it's a shoo-in.
I'm gonna go with 75 Metacritic, and 87% RT with average rating of 7.60/10.
The work on Farrell effectively guarantees it's getting nominated for Best Makeup, and I feel pretty confident it'll nab a Best Sound nomination too.
Seeing it then as well, butbecause I'm going with family, and Saturday's the only time for the three of us to see it due to jobs and school.
On the plus side, it means I can go watch The Godfather Part II that Friday (I'm seeing the first one this weekend).
Only 3 other directors have earned as many nominations: William Wyler (12 total nominations, 3 wins), Billy Wilder (8 total nominations, 2 wins) and Martin Scorsese (9 total nominations, 1 win).
So far I've seen 3:
West Side Story (January 9)
The King's Man (January 13)
Nightmare Alley (February 3)
I would've probably seen Licorice Pizza and Belfast by now too, but I sprained my ankle and so had to spend 2 weeks largely housebound.
