Tina and I ran out to see 'The King's Speech' and 'The Fighter' over the last few days. Both outstanding and most deserving of the various Oscar accolades bestowed upon them Sunday. For me, 'King's Speech' was as good a film as I've seen in a very long time, and will have the enduring appeal a Best Picture requires. If you haven't seen it, try to get to it on the big screen as opposed to waiting for home viewing. It's the kind of film that needs to be watched in the intended setting.

I Have yet to see "The King's Speech" , but have seen "The Fighter".. Pretty good, but a bit too much for me at times. I was however glad to see Christian Bale win his first Oscar for he was simply fantastic in the part. (Good to see he put the weight back on )

Steve I could not agree with you more. The King's Speech is a picture to be experienced in the theatre. The radio sequences alone were enhanced by seeing the film on the big screen, from an accoustic standpoint. Didn't you feel the attention to detail in this picture, was tremendous? The closing sequence, I don't bout you and Tina, but my wife and I had an adrenaline rush, leading up to and during the speech itself ? It was as thrilling to experience.
