I also saw "The Aviator" last night. I thought that Leonardo did a very good job, as did Cate Blanchett, who really nailed the Katherine Hepburn thing. Alan Alda was a pleasant surprise as well. Overall, it was an enjoyable movie, although quite bitersweet. Still, I don't think it should get Best Picture. I found "Finding Neverland" to be far superior.
As far as swanky goes, we watched "Charade" last night, with Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant. What a wonderful movie that I had overlooked. The Mancini score is ultra-swanky and I just loved everything about this film.
