1995 in review

Babe
Apollo 13
Braveheart
Il Postino
Sense and Sensiblity

This year's set of movies is a bit of a mixed bag. 'Apollo 13' and 'Braveheart' were clearly the class of the year. 'Sense' is certainly oscar-worthy. 'Babe' was good, but probably not good enough for a nominee. And 'Il Postino'? Ick. I would have replaced the two of them with 'Toy Story' and 'Seven'.
'Braveheart' won Best Picture and that's fine with me. My personal choice would have been 'Apollo 13', but they're both great movies. Mel Gibson won best Director for Braveheart and I'm fine with that, too.
Nothing really stands out as far as music in these films. Some solid scores, but nothing outstanding.
A solid year and that's not so bad.
