Kind of unfortunate that this film had to be up against Return of the King come Oscar time; in any other year Peter Weir would have walked away with a lot more hardware I'm sure.
It's up on Hulu right now. Just watched it again a week or so again. Fantastic film, absolutely. I mean, homoerotic as hell and more than occasionally overwrought, but provides a real whole history of a fascinating closed social network as it zips through every deck of the ship.
