Recently, I decided to re-watch comic book movies. So, that required coming up with a list of movies. For some reason that I can't quite understand, Dick Tracy doesn't show up on anybody's list of favorites or even on any list at all. I tried to find the movie at my local library and they didn't have it. What? This film got 7 Oscar nominations and 3 wins. It's one of the most artistically innovative films I've seen. And after re-watching, I think I would place it in my top 5 of comic book movies. Why don't people remember this one? Here's a nice article I found that shares my sentiments:
