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. |

re: 14:21 on Black Panther:
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. |

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. |

+1. I started watching it during the flight and had to stop midway. It's a boring, juvenile movie -- as you say, great if you are into that. |

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. And Green Book was also very formulaic though we liked it. I've not seen all of the nominated movies but am still baffled that First Man didn't get any nominations as it was head and shoulders above any film we saw in 2018. |

| I saw Black Panther and the Favourite. I really enjoyed both but the second was a bit too long for my taste. |
