Why "The Aviator" of course! True story, great performances, 5 academy
awards, the most incredible crash scene I've ever seen, and a chance to
give one of our nation's most enigmatic figures some well-deserved
recognition as an aviation pioneer.
BTW....once you see the movie you'll never call it "The Spruce Goose"
again.

I did not rate "The Aviator" that highly. The crash scenes are all bogus
CGI and have little in common with reality. As for DiCaprio's portrayal
of Hughes, I thought that he was just another pretty face going through
the motions.
His piloting scenes reminded me of a 5-year-old playing "airplane." His
acting there was most unconvincing. IMHO, the only thing missing there
was making "BRRRR" sounds.
Sorry but 5 academy awards along with countless millions disagree with
your assessment
AFA DiCaprio's performance....you gotta be kiddng! I think he showed the
makings of a great actor here!
I think you might be reacting on a gut level to his teenage hearthrob,
sitcom days. Perhaps you missed "Catch Me If You Can"--the boy has
developed some great stage presence in my opinion.

Fact is he and the crash scenes were the worst part of the movie. He
certainly won NO academy awards.
