Yea I know it got nominated for Best Picture but hardly anyone talks about it anymore. I watched it again recently and I still think it's absolutely wonderful. A funny heartwarming and still gorgeous to look at film. I also absolutely adore James Cromwell in it, pissed that he lost to Kevin Spacey for The Usual Suspects. I know if I'm ever feeling down, I can just watch this film and it's impossible not to smile by the end of it. It's definitely a movie I'll show my kids to.

I feel it's still talked about a fair amount, I mean just recently you could see many people incorrectly cite it as one of the film's directed by George Miller that show his range.

absolutely love it, and one thing that's definitely not praised enough about it is Andrew Lesnie's cinematography. So idyllic and comforting   |

Far and away the best BP nominee of 1995

It’s not directed by George Miller but he did write and produce it. Maybe recently it’s been talked about because of Furiosa’s release but I personally don’t remember any discussion about it in IMDb days. |

Yes, hence why I wrote "Incorrectly", but yes many were mentioning around Furiosa, "He also directed Babe" more than once, and not the correct statement which was "He directed Babe: Pig in the City". |

Well Heat and Se7en and a slew of genre films overall but among the nominees I agree it's the best.
Gibson has other good movies but Braveheart is a plebby snooze and weirdly embraced on this board. Apollo 13 really degraded on rewatch, I don't remember The Postman, and Austen is so overrated - 95% female fanbase. Maybe those young girls are mostly middled aged now.
Cromwell was snubbed...agreed. I have a really high opinion of him, like 🚀 high.
