Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I think I would rank them:
1) Frankenstein
2) Bugonia
3) Sinners
4) One Battle After Another
5) The Secret Agent
6) F1

Updated list of my perspective on Best Picture nominees that I've seen:
1) Frankenstein
2) Hamnet--this really surprised me. I was disinterested in this movie, but decided to give it a shot on a plane ride home. It's much better than I expected, and it has a different take on a period drama than I expected. Best actress was well deserved, and it's a good take on historical fiction. Sad, but a meaningful approach to the arc of human emotions. Given the subject matter and where I started from when I began this movie, maybe it really is the "best" picture.
3) Bugonia--weird, which I like, and I'm a sucker for Emma Stone. One really good twist; one not so good twist.
4) Sinners--the most fun on this list. Rewatched it recently and enjoyed it more than I remembered the first time.
5-8 are practically interchangeable for me:
5) One Battle After Another--just a long action movie with a time arc and some interesting family dynamics.
6) The Secret Agent--the last act came on too abruptly and changed the story arc too much for me.
7) Marty Supreme--I toyed with whether to put this one above the Secret Agent, but I was more invested in the Secret Agent's story arc throughout, and I was disappointed with both endings.
8) Train Dreams--another one for a long plane flight. I enjoyed it, and it is beautifully done and avoids Hollywood tropes, which is refreshing. While I understood its message, it just wasn't that moving.
9) F1--fun race car movie, but didn't do anything new or better than other race car movies before it. Ford vs. Ferrari is a superior film.

Only one I haven't seen is Sentimental Value. I'll probably watch it at some point.

I saw train dreams In a small theater near where I live, and that was honestly a great way to see it.

Like, I likes most of these, but I would acknowledge that many of them at home would probably have been a worse experience.

Caught that on Netflix recently.  Considered posting thoughts here but decided I shouldn't give in too much to the grumpiness.  But since you brought it up.....

I enjoyed the movie for the most part.  I had a sense the whole time that the movie would utterly fail to stick the landing, and it did exactly that.  I could tell it was trying to be one of those artsy films that wants to be deep and existential and reflective.  I know how those movies always try to end up....what they're trying to get across....to do with the audience emotionally.  

However, it was clear to me a short way into the movie that it lacked any transcendent substance on which to ground anything it might try to make meaningful.  Consequently, when it tried to have its big moment of meaning at the end, it was clumsy, flat, and hollow.  

I don't mean it wasn't a good film.....it was well-done in a number of ways.  But it wanted to be philosophical, and frankly, it lacked the foundation and the commitment to any objective ethos to pull it off.  It predictably settled for the "Well, we're here, so that's meaningful, I guess."  

Yeah the only one I saw in the theater was F1, and it definitely would have been a lesser experience at home.

I'm not sure Sinners or Bugonia really required the big screen to have the same impact.  But Frankenstein probably would have been better in the theater.

For me it's all about the visuals, and of course SFX where it applies.  Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Marvel movies-- those are all must-see-in-theater for me.  Project Hail Mary definitely was an in-theater movie too.

The smaller more personal movies, are less so, for me.

I thought Sinners benefitted from the dark so the color really popped. Bugonia seems like it would’ve been fine.

we didn’t catch Frankenstein in theater, so we’ll have to watch it at home. Will get that at some point.

I feel like there’s a bit of a lull movies at this exact moment. But a local independent theater will usually have something good.

last time in the theater?

probably 2002 - Spiderman

youngest daughter wanted to go with her friends but was scared - dad tagged along

Mentioning theaters makes me realize that I had a drastic drop-off in my theater attendance starting in about 2019.  Avengers: Endgame, as I recall, was the last movie I saw for the large span of my life that I frequented theaters.  Seems like I always went to a few movies per year prior to that.  Covid happened and our theaters shut down....I'm sure that was part of it....maybe during that I got accustomed to not going.  But I also either lost interest in most movies, or else the kinds of movies that have come out I didn't care about making a point to see it on a big screen. 

Since then, I've seen Top Gun: Maverick, MI: Final Reckoning, and Sound of Freedom in the theater.  SoF wasn't particularly a big-screen must-see, I just wanted to see it before it would've become available elsewhere.  But it seems that for the most part only Tom Cruise can get me out of the house.  Unless there's 1 or 2 that I'm forgetting, I average less than 1 theater excursion per year. 

Great movie.

Seems like 4 was about my average, prior to 2020.  If I had kids I think probably the theater would still be a more frequent thing.  It also occurs to me that mid-2018 is when I got married, and my wife is the biggest homebody who ever homebodied, and she's not very inclined to go to movies.  That probably factors in also.
