#167. The Aviator
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fa/The_Aviator_%282004%29.png
Dir: Martin Scorsese
Genre: Drama
Year: 2004

This one doesn't get talked about enough. What may seem like a standard biopic is, in fact, elevated to one of the best ever in a very understated way by Martin Scorsese--and also by Leonardo DiCaprio's best performance to date.

If you rewatch The Aviator now, I challenge you to look out for the finer details. Look at the coloring in the Hepburn estate scenes. Keep an eye on the effects used in the flight scenes. Every little detail is an homage to an era that Scorsese clearly loves--the early Golden Age of Hollywood. And come in with the milk.
