You're a big... Well, it was one of the ones I threw in on the long list.

Great use of Eric Cantona.

It's actually a very touching story of a postman, also called Eric, who's suffering from depression, and to kind of build up his self-esteem, he's got such hallucinating visions of Eric Cantona, who kind of like...

his life coach and pulls him out of a funk very good movie and like I think two years before this Ken Loach did The Wind That Shakes The Barley so I'm just impressed that someone who did that was able to pivot to doing this in such a short place of time and nail both of them The Karate Kid not for me me neither not for me I think it's one of those ones where like it's drilled into you at a young age that this is a sacred text and I could never I just never got it never got it

same I don't really like it I'm not mad on it it's fine obviously the iconic moment you know that's cool but the rest of it fairly forgettable it's more of a blood sport guy when I was younger you know is that right the boxer Daniel Day-Lewis for Daniel Day-Lewis alone

Yeah, intense film, obviously, as you would expect in every sense.

Million Dollar Baby.

I saw that in the cinema when it came out, and I thought it was this brilliant piece of masterpiece work, and then I went back and I watched it about a year later, and I really felt like issue-tainment, kind of the way that Crash did when that came along.

It's also...

If you go into it not knowing what it's about, it is one of the most depressing films you'll ever see in terms of where it goes narratively.

It swept the Oscars, I think.

It definitely did well.

Oh, yeah.

I stand by hating the turn it takes after she gets injured.

I love it up until that moment, and then I found it just too...

yeah I don't know I didn't see that coming and then I was like oh Christ is that not a great kind of cinematic oh Christ and now Clint's gonna have to help her end her life I guess I don't know I just remember being when I was 12 when I saw it in the cinema so like I wasn't like oh Clint's gonna help her end her life this is so rich I was like ah this is like yeah but then you know it moved you viscerally Morgan Freeman's own you know his sole Oscar win was for Eddie Scrap Iron Dupree is that right is that right

You wouldn't think that, would you?

Hilary Swank got the Oscar.

Famously.

Yeah.
