Walk Hard is the best, and any list that doesn't have it at number one is an incorrect list. Sure, people can have opinions, but they are wrong if their opinion is that any other music biopic is better.

Great film but technically not a biopic.

Glad The Pianist made the list. Tough to watch at times but amazing film.

Careful — I just clicked on that link and got a spam popup.

As it was a pretty long and not that bad list it was disappointing to see that Bertrand taverniers excellent Round Midnight wasnt on it.

I’ve really enjoyed several of the films on that list. But my favorite musical biopic is actually a documentary: Thunder Soul, about a groundbreaking high school band director in the 1970s. It shows how he and his students smashed society’s expectations in that era, and the enormous and enduring influence he had on their lives. Tremendously moving and inspiring — plus it features lots of funky music.

I came here just to make sure Weird Al's movie was on the list.

La Bomba was really good

Unfortunately only The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse and The Flying Sailor are the only two shorts from the Best Animated Short category available in the UK currently. I thought Flying Sailor was absolute shite tbh, visually stunning animation aside. Maybe it's because The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse came out at Christmas here on primetime BBC but I really enjoyed it.

The guy basically invented the use of montage in film.

His status as a great of cinema is primarily based on the fact that his works are the building blocks with which all movies that came afterwards are built with. The Odessa Steps sequence in Battleship Potemkin may not seem extremely thrilling now, but keep in mind that it is the first important appearance of montage in world cinema - montage, as in "an idea that arises from the collision of independent shots...each sequential element is perceived not next to the other, but on top of the other", as Eisenstein explains.

Check out the history of montage theory. That might help you better appreciate the esteem in which Eisenstein is held.

Well his next few movies are based on frank bullit ( a character who was played by Steve McQueen) and the composer George Gershwin. It seems to be more of an an Ode to cinema more than anything ground breaking or revolutionary. He’s done that already

I really liked Bridge of spies. Great performances. I loved The fabelmans. Who knows if the next movie will be groundbreaking but, I'll be there to see it.

When Kevin Smith made Clerks he filmed it in black and white and shot it in mostly in the store.

Ok sir i will thx

OP, if you're interested in seeing a film which was a great inspiration for Triangle of Sadness, watch Lina Wertmüller's Swept Away...by an Unusual Destiny in the Blue Sea of August.

I don't think it's his physical age. It's the fact he's old in Spirit and doesn't have the drive and ambition he once had. There are some artists that flourish and continue to grow right into the twilight years of their lives while others lose it.

Clint Eastwood made 4 movies at the age 73 and onward. Those movies won 8 Oscars. Are they fresh - I dont know. They are just damn good.

I read an opinion somewhere that Spielberg is a poster boy for the classical era of romantic Hollywood. He is a great director and maybe he has to push his limits outside of the Hollywood cliche to do something really groundbreaking.

With that in mind - I have a strong feeling that he will win best picture for the Fabelmans this year. Would he win best director as well - I dont know. It is a good movie. I didn't like much since Munich. So he might be back this year.

The past 3 best pictures - Coda, Parasite, Nomadland. All indie or foreign. Hollywood would have to do bring back a good feel win and give it to him.

There's a difference between media meant for children, and media meant for families. I can't actually think of very many "classic" animated films that are specifically meant for children; most things targeted at children are generally reviled (see: Caillou), or at best tolerated (ex: Barney), because in targeting exclusively children, they usually give up anything even resembling a plot, or anything else of value to anyone over the age of 10. But the Oscars are notorious for having its members literally just ask their children what their favorite things were when it comes to voting for the animation categories, both on nominations and winners, so its not at all surprising that something where the dialog is nothing but platitudes was still nominated.

E.T. 2: Extraterrestrial Boogaloo

Agreed. The script sounded like it was written by a chat bot.

Pretty pictures adorned with disjointed platitudes that feel like they were cribbed from a poster in your guidance counselor’s office.

The dude invented the modern blockbuster. What more do you want from him? He has to revolutionize cinema AGAIN? He said in the making of Indiana Jones that he thought after Last Crusade that it was time to go grow yo and make more mature movies, which is sorta what he's been doing now. Why would he feel like he has anything to prove to go searching for some script and method of innovating the industry yet again so he can be hailed for doing so once more when all he wants to do is make the kind of films he wants to make? Remember, he didn't even want to make Indy 4 and clearly passed on Indy 5. He definitely gets offered every big movie in Hollywood before everyone else and passes, so what he wants to do is up to him.

Dude is still insanely sharp. He doesn't even storyboard most of his shots. Just shows up and shoots. You can't fuck with Spielberg. This entire premise is stupid.

Mad Fucking Max: Fury Fucking Road

I think some of the best stuff he has done in his recent films has been the CGI in 'Tintin', 'The BFG', and 'Ready Player One'; his visual style, freed from the constraints of practical physics, is a joy to behold when it takes full-flight, so I hope he explores virtual filmmaking more in future.

I just want a Spielberg Superman movie… or a sequel to Tintin
