1. My dear Blue!

For me, I would watch Wolf of Wall Street.

I don't know the other picture...



Enjoy, whichever one you settle on!

2. I like Leo

and at 2 hours and 59 minutes, we'd get our money's worth. Lol.

3. I like him too.

You certainly would get your money's worth, lol!

Especially if you skipped the candy and soft drink concessions...

4. Going by reviews

American Hustle is getting better reviews. However, I don't know of anybody who has seen either.

5. I saw American Hustle last night ...

Great acting, fun script -- a blast from the late 1970s. Two thumbs up.

6. Just saw American Hustle, fantastic film...

Think goodfellas light. I wasn't around during the 70s but it sure seems like one of the best recreations of that era I've ever seen, though a bit on the exaggerated side at times. Great acting all round and some interesting casting choices. Hard to take your eyes off Amy Adams, those dresses she wears, only to be overshadowed by her fantastic acting!

7. Friend with good movie taste said last night

Wolf is way too long. "Excessive character development" were their words, I recall. But probably not too much for the Leo lovers...

8. Have seen them both

DiCaprio is terrific. Wolf is LONG, very long, and could have used some
serious editing. It's all drugs, sex, booze, sex, drugs, illegal
financial dealings, booze, drugs, sex. And did I say sex, drugs, booze?

American Hustle is a great work of ensemble acting from Amy Adams,
Christian Bale, and Bradley Cooper. I do
object to Adams being costumed totally out of character
for a business woman of the late 70's pretending to be a Brit
with a title. The men's costumes were spot on.

I don't think either of them will turn out to be a best picture winner,
but I suspect they'll both be nominated.

9. Wolf of Wall Street IMO

It was sublime, definitely one of the best films of 2013.

10. Wolf for me...

I'm actually going to see that one, if it hangs around long enough at the local Cinaplex

12. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.

We ended up going with Wolf and enjoyed it very much. Yes, it was long, but never boring. Leo is awesome.
