With the Oscar nominations announced this morning, and just over a month until the big show itself, that leaves little time to get through this year’s hugely long list of Best Picture nods from the academy. Since seeing 10 movies over 33 days in theaters is just several light years out of our price range, that leaves Netflix to help us cram in the viewing (legally) and stay culturally relevant in that Hollywood-centric sort of way. With studios now re-releasing faster than you can say “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire,” we figured a fair number of the top flicks would already be primed for the queue. Here’s what we found.

the hurt locker is still in theaters (playing at the quad as of this past weekend) and i highly recommend it. i suspect the intensity would be much less at home. and not that it's a bargain, but the quad is $10.50 versus the $12.50 mega theaters.
This is one of the best posts to date. Thanks!
I'm kind of in love with this handy little list too, Julie C!
Great list!
