The Aviator (2004)
Number 1 - 2004
The Aviator is a cinematic feat, and the best picture of 2004. Underrated and undervalued Scorsese masterpiece of grand proportions. This is American cinema at its very best and Scorsese is the pilot in this sensational film.
The life of eccentric and obsessive multi-millionaire Howard Hughes from the 1920s to the late 1940s is beautifully captured in the film, with great acting, fabulous cinematography and editing and another superb directorial achievement from Scorsese.
"A genuine cinematic feat. Wonderful Oscar winning entertainment"
"Scorsese is truly one of the leading directors in the world. The Aviator is another display of his talents"
"A spectacular and often glamorous film"
"An Academy Award Winning masterwork from Scorsese"
"Exceptional cinematography, editing, directing and acting make The Aviator one of the finest films of the past years"
"Leonardo Di Caprio is not only worthy of an Oscar, but he's performance in the Aviator is a career milestone"
