    Then to top it off, when Ang Lee went up to collect the Best Director award he spent ages thanking everyone from the cast, his agent, his lawyers, the people of Taiwan, down to the people who built the wave pool in the blue-screen sound stage where they shot most of the film.... BUT didn't mention or thank any of the 100's of animators from Rhythm & Hues who created the Tiger from scratch, removed the blue sound-stage boat and created the scenery and landscapes (most of who had just been made un-employed).

    The film also won the Oscar for Best Cinematography - when the majority of the film was shot in blue-screen and generated in VFX post - not a popular win in the film industry when the Cinematographer couldn't really see what the shots would look like for 80% of the film.

    Apocalypto - setting, atmosphere, action - need to watch it on a big screen to appreciate it fully. When I watched it in the cinema I was very impressed.

    Re: Favourite Movie

    Best film ever made probably Shawshank Redemption.

    One film I watched never expecting much, but turned out to be one of the best films I've ever seen, is 12 Angry Men!

    I can't recall my favourite film but one I've thoroughly enjoyed recently was The Great Gatsby. I'm not a swooning teenage girl but I still really admire Leonardo di caprio
