I really liked 1917. It's not just the impressive technical achievement but the way it looks, the tension, the music and the way you're involved with these specific characters all the way though it.

Once Upon A Time in Hollywood I enjoyed but be warned it's a very slow burner as a film. It's mostly about the environment, the relationships and the characters rather than a story that hooks you in.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood is also good and interestingly Tom Hanks and the character of Mister Rodgers are supporting the main character and actor whose a man going though a hard time that develops a friendship with Mr Rodgers. Rogers himself is only explored though this journalists eyes so it's different to what I was expecting.

As for the others I have seen of the 'Best Picture' candidates I would rank em:

1. 1917
2. Joker
3. JoJo Rabbit
4. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
5. Little Women
6. Ford vs Ferrari

Need to watch Parasite. Will try and watch The Irishman but 3 hours - urh.
