You sound like quite the videophile. I'm lost after about 1978 when it comes to actors and movies.
RE: "You sound like quite the videophile"

I also follow the award season and Box Office Numbers semi-religiously, and can point out almost every recent situation in which I believe that either Oscar or the American filmgoing public has either "gotten it right" or "blown it".
