The nature of these will always be that less divisive movies will do better. You will not get too many Oceans Eleven haters, and many of us did not -wait for it- connect with The French Connection. Even though I gave it a positive review I was not grabbed by the film. I did think Heat would do better though.

Neat how there isnt really an obvious frontrunner to win it all yet. No Country for Old Men perhaps?

Admittedly I am not used to the idea that The French Connection could be divisive because it is often considered to be one of the best movies to win Best Picture. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would, not necessarily a huge favourite of mine though. Other movies I like about equally include Return of the Jedi and Saving Private Ryan.
