Neither is Bohemian Rhapsody. It's a formulaic biopic. The music is fun and I enjoyed the LiveAid recreation on the big screen -- but best picture worthy it is not.


14:18 here. I agree that BR is not really best picture worthy, however OP asked which of the movies are worth watching. I really enjoyed the music, especially the LiveAid performance - especially because I'm old enough to clearly remember it. But again -I do agree on it not being oscar-worthy.


Everyone in our family loved Bohemian Rhapsody.

It wasn't the most important subject matter but it was very well acted and took full advantage of the movie screen as an art form and was great entertainment - I think some of the movie's power will be lost watching it at home.

+1 about Bohemian Rhapsody. Bonus if you grew up on Queen songs, it really showcased the music.

Star is Born

Bohemian Rapsody

Black Panther

Green Book


I understand and appreciate the cultural significance and the achievement the Black Panther crew has made, but don't think the quality of work is Oscar-worthy--it's equivalent to any of the Marvel movies. But if that's up your alley, definitely go watch it.


Why did you post this?

The question wasn't, "which movie are Oscar contenders" the question was "which are worth watching"....



Because Black Panther is not the best quality movies of those nominated for the Oscars. I interpreted "worth watching", or in OP's words "the best" as movies that are good in form and substance and Black Panther as not as high a quality as the typical Oscar-nominated moves such as Moonlight or Selma. However, I did say that if OP enjoyed the Marvel universe theme movies, Black Panther would be a good choice.


It's a very good movie even if you are not into Marvels.

You should do some self evaluation on this one.

Your just being obstrnant.

You are trying to bully PP into liking a movie she didn't like?

Black Panther was painfully bad. Just about the worst movie I’ve ever watched.

It is fascinating to see Christian Bale totally transform into Dick Cheney in Vice.

+1. I have mixed feelings about the film in general (mainly it just felt too soon to relive all that sh-t), but he really was great. And Steve Carrell was hilarious as Rumsfeld.

I’ve been thinking about watching Roma, but the trailer on Netflix is so underwhelming.

I have been trying to watch it for a week. I think I have made it through the first 20 mins. I give up.

Free Solo (amazing documentary)

The others are overhyped


+1 on Free Solo. I don’t think I have ever been so tense and on the edge of my seat as I was watching that. Plus the cinematography was amazing.
