I didn't think the Aviator was that 'great', it really felt like random pieces of his life and the ending was unexpected and bizarre.

The Passion of the Christ got snubbed.
Faid I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. "Howard Hughes His life and madness" by Donald L. Barlett & James B. Steele is a great book that just came out (Best biography on HH to date).

The movie is correct for the most part, but its just skewed in a way to make Howard Hughes look like a genius and some sort of peoples champion - which isn't the case at all.

I mean it doesn't talk about him completely running TWA into the ground and many of his other business failures (which was just about ANYTHING he touched).
