Which of those did you like best? Do you think "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" should have won the Oscar? I personaly do, althought I also liked "Slumdog Millionaire". Or do you think that should have won another movie?

To me the curiouscase of benjamin button was a far better movie in terms of direction and story telling.actually that is what a movie is.It is story telling.I personally believe that slumdog was a good film but quality wise benjamin button was better.slumdog had all indian cast.from actors to music...almost everything.But to me,far better films have been made than slumdog in indian cinema over the decades.slumdog isn't even near the bests....

Last year I started listening indian movies soundtrack and I love it! I never saw an indian movie (a really indian movie, not only the actors like slumdog which has an english director) and I would like to see one but I don't know much about Bollywood industry... Which movie would you recommend me to see? And where I can find it, with english subtitles?

To be honest, and I know everybody loves slumdog, but both of them were boring. I wouldn't have voted for either one of them for best picture.

I would have voted for Milk even though I liked both Slumdog and Benjamin Button. What I would really like to know is the names of those who do the voting. It's always a big mystery.

Uhm... There's a lot of just talk in Benjamin Button movie while the Slumdog, every minute the person watching the film gets excited. Well, that's MY opinion. Slumdog Millionaire was better, the plot was very nice and the flow of the story.

I agree with Oscars result for Best Picture. Slumdog Millionaire deserved it because it has a wonderful plot, it talks about suffering, dreams, struggle and hope.

For me the Button movie was to long they could have done that movie in about 45 min's slumdog to me say's even if you don't have alot of money all you need is a good story line and a director that can bring your story to life on the siliver screen...

I loved Slumdog and think that they got what they deserved. The Curious case of Benjamin Button was not too bad but way too too long for me. I liked it alright but my votes certainly go to Slumdog Millionaire.

I haven't seen either one of those movies but I would like to. I've seen previews of the Slumdog movie and it looked interesting. I usually get my movies from the library when they are DVD so I'm waiting for the library to get them. Happy lotting.
