thrILL! Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 The 3rd act of Silver Linings Playbook is so lame. LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I went with Titanic and, since I figured Casablanca would win easily, I went with Grease mainly because Olivia Newton-John was so gorgeous in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley Cooper should have won the Oscar for that movie, not Jennifer Lawrence. DDL may be the best actor of a generation, but I thought Cooper was better that year. I would have given the best actress win to Jessica Chastain over Lawrence as well. Casablanca wins over anything else in the romance bracket for me. The only parts of that movie that aren't A+ are the parts where the content is constrained by the limitations of that era where they didn't want to much hanky panky on screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casablanca is about the only straight up romance movie that I actually enjoy. Iconic, influential, holds up well to time, etc. If it doesn't win the bracket, it's a problem. Princess Bride is a comedy as much as it is a romance, so it doesn't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar988 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Titanic is an objectively atrocious movie. I don't know how it even won the 90s over 10 Things I Hate About You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I voted for Titanic because Silver Linings Playbook is the more overrated movie when looking at the sum of its parts. Robert De Niro is not a great actor. He was a great actor. Now and since.... Eh, I would say Jackie Brown was his last strong performance (1997), he has just been playing a caricature of himself. That's it. Jennifer Lawrence has one strong performance. Maybe two. She's not great. I love Bradley Cooper, but he's basically a smile. An infectious smile, but that's it. Watching a David O. Russell movie is like looking at abstract art and thinking it's beautiful, something you absolutely need, and then you're told it was drawn by a 5-year-old and you've just been pranked because you're a pretentious doofus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaltested Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Nobody watched/watches Titanic for the romance. It where it is because of James Cameron's insanity and quest to figure out how to kill his actors with water. SLP is a flat out more enjoyable watching experience in 2020 than Titanic. Its message about self love is way more on point than Titanic's forced melodrama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was an entertaining movie, but more from a historical perspective than from the side story of the romance between the two lead characters. The visuals of seeing the ship go down were pretty cool at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
