The Aviator

I enjoyed the Aviator a lot, but wouldn't put it at THE top of 2004 (though it will be up there). What it lacked for me was much emotional attachment to the characters (save moments of sympathy for Hughes and Katherine Hepburn). However it was very well crafted, with great direction, a wonderful cast of actors (don't know about Kate Beckinsale though), good music, beautiful sets and costumes, etc. I really enjoyed it and stinking love that guy Scorsese. :) I'm really starting to like Cate Blanchett a lot.
