Clint Eastwood is the best director ever. No one tells a story like Clint Eastwood. Watch Jersey Boys if you want to see another great movie.

I won't flame you for your opinion regarding the quality of this movie. That's a matter of individual taste. I think what we're witnessing here is more of a cultural phenomenon with the impact this film is having on it's audience. "Selma" can't give away tickets, but it appears that every showing of "American Sniper" has sold out. I went to see it last night, and I experienced the same thing as everyone else on this thread. A packed house which was dead silent when the movie ended. What Eastwood has done with this story is tap into a quiet American culture that is sick to death of being "entertained" by films that preach to us about how awful we are. Instead, he's told a story about Americans for Americans. Regardless of what film the Academy decides is the best picture of the year, millions of Americans have made their own decision, and we don't give a crap what the Hollywood culture thinks.
