I saw most of the Oscar nominated movies this year and Slumdog was the best of the whole lot. I loved Milk and Doubt as well but they did not compare to Slumdog. I left the theatre elated with the ending and so thrilled that I had seen in at a theatre and not as a rental. You NEED to experience this movie on the big screen - it is truly amazing. The acting, the music, the cinematography are crazy good. Not to be missed and worth all of the hype.
