Entertainment Weekly's 25 Movies To Watch Before Oscar Night

StinkyLulu's the kind of sissy who not only puts the broadcast of the Academy Awards in the datebook months in advance but who also puts the Nomination Ceremony in too. (For the record, Academy Award nominations will be announced @ 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday, January 25, 2005. That's Hollywood time, so all of you on the other coast get to hear them live at the much more civilized hour of 8:30am. And E! is the most reliable network for uninterrupted attention to the announcement, though CNN is usually pretty good too. Toldja StinkyLu was a freak for this shit.)

So -- to prepare for the momentous event -- the editors of the January 14 issue of Entertainment Weekly have offered a useful list of the 25 must-see movies in preparation for the Oscar Night (February 27). StinkyLulu planned to link to the page for this list but -- dagnabbit -- the EW.com Oscar coverage is too intricately embedded to link easily. SO -- here's the list (StinkyLulu still hasn't seen the movies in bold):
