I wanted to see this movie when it was in theaters, but missed it! When I heard that the movie was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, and that Cate Blanchette won for best supporting actress, I decided to buy the DVD.
Wow! It's rare that I see a movie that both educates and entertains like this one. Before I saw the movie, all I really knew about Howard Hughes was that he became a nutty, wealthy hermit. The movie showed me that he was not only nutty and rich; the man was brilliant. The acting was great, with well-known actors in near cameos, and the special effects were totally believable. I also loved the music from the 1920's, 1930's, and 1940's.
The 'bonus features' included with the 2-DVD set are phenomenal, and include an entire History Channel biography of Hughes' aeronautical achievements. There are also segments dealing with OCD--how it is treated today, as opposed to Hughes' undiagnosed case. I may have developed a little OCD myself--I keep asking people over to see The Aviator so that I have an excuse to watch it again myself.
