	Jonathan Pryce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brazil won the Los Angeles Film Critics Association 1985 awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay, as well as Academy Awards in 1986 for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration and Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen.
		In 1995 he won the Best Actor Award at Cannes for his performance as Lytton Strachey in the film Carrington.
		His comic version of the Master in the 1999 Doctor Who spoof Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death was very well received by critics, partly because of the over-the-top nature of Pryce's portrayal which satirised previous depictions of the character.

	REELINSIDER.COM - THE STING (1973)
		Set to the tagline, "All it takes is a little confidence!" The Sting rolled into theaters in 1973 designed to capitalize on the then popular nostalgia for the 1930s and the on-screen reunion of Paul Newman and Robert Redford.
		The stakes are raised once a policeman sets on Hooker's trail only to enmesh him in an FBI campaign to trap Gondorff trying to take money from an unknowing mark but the centerpiece remains the effort to steal Lonnegan's loot without him catching on to the fix being in.
		That is to say, it is a fine achievement of storytelling but it lacks the qualities of greatness often associated with high art, not only because of what it's been subsequently compared with in its own year, but also in light of what it does achieve on its own limited scale.

	REELINSIDER.COM - BEN - HUR (1959)
		Produced by Sam Zimbalist, directed by Hollywood veteran William Wyler and re-adapted from the General Lew Wallace novel by perhaps as many as 40 screenwriters, though eventually credited to Karl Tunberg, the 212 minute long film was a critical and commercial smash.
		Despite his career as a leading man seemingly born for roles of this size and complexity, he is a limited actor more apt to express a sense of presence than show much more emotional depth than broad happiness and anger.
		Namely, the film of each year with the best cinematography, production design, special effects and direction that comes from a recognized source and is peopled by contemporary stars can't help but be the best movie of the year.

		The art direction, cinematography, acting, editing, special effects, writing, and musical score swirl together to form a delightful concoction.
		While the device allowing for these flashbacks (a stroke that renders Whale unable to control memory flow) may be a bit contrived, the blurring of Whale's past and present is increasingly haunting as the film heads toward its tragic conclusion.

	Unforgiven: Special Edition (1992)
		Stunningly, this three-hour politically correct oater raked in about $184 million and would have been the biggest hit of 1990 were it not for Home Alone.
		Looking back, it seems that Unforgiven may have won its Best Picture award more because it was a weak year for movies rather than because it possessed any particular artistic merits.
		A few good shots of some of the results of violence would have been enough; they didn't even need to be graphic, as blood and guts don't necessarily create the best arguments.

	Roman Holiday (1953)
		It was one of the better films of the 1950’s; it is one of reputed director William Wyler’s best outings; and has the splendid distinction of introducing the world to Audrey Hepburn — one of the classiest and most beautiful women to ever walk the face of the earth, much less grace the big screen.
		In an interesting story, which is actually related in one of the DVD extras, Gregory Peck recalls a conversation he had with the studio where he demanded that Hepburn, in her first “big” role, receive equal billing in the film’s credits.
		Interestingly enough, Frank Capra was originally supposed to direct Holiday, but turned the job down when he found out that it was written by Trumbo, a fllisted writer during the era.

	Blade Runner (1982)

		The film is set in the industrial wasteland of Los Angeles in the year 2019, on an Earth that is in physical and psychological decay - without a trace of nature.
		After landing at Police Headquarters - a brilliant shot as the police spinner rotates one way while the camera rotates in the opposite direction [a reference to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)], Deckard is directed to ex-boss Inspector M. Bryant (M. Emmet Walsh) office for a briefing - a location he knows well.

	The Oscars, 1999
		Whilst none of these could have any realistic claim to Best Picture; they have all taken the use of computer generated imagery (CGI) and visual effects to a new level; an achievement I felt worthy of nomination at least.
		Well, I was right about Shakespeare in Love getting the Best Film award but I didn't expect it to get quite so many (7) and I didn't expect it to push Saving Private Ryan into second place (5).
		Having walked away with three Oscars, Best Actor, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Dramatic Music Score, it is obviously well worth a viewing and, hopefully, it shouldn't be long before it gets a full showing in the UK and around the world.
