Life of Pi. Though it's irrational.
8
144. A dozen dozen.
1729: The smallest prime number expressible as the sum of two cubes (thanks Proof).
I just want Best Pic to go back to 5 nominees. It ruins all of the Oscar statistics at least for me.
Who knows what other pics from the past could have been included in the 8-9 selected if that had always been the case?

YES to Bruno!!!!!
Travis & Bruno -- LOL. I thought about including that but figured it was under the number suggestive not actual number rule since "Pi" is the lead characters name as opposed to the number ;)
I am still kind of bummed that Genevieve didn't win best actress for Anne of the Thousand Days.
What about Slumdog Million-aire?
Uh?
Uh?
So if Stranger Things were a film called Life of Eleven, would it count? LOL
Cesar, that would fall under "Double" or "Noon" category.
"Four Weddings and a Funeral" is great - Kristen Scott Thomas smoking glamorously and declaring her love, the WH Auden poem at the funeral, and let's ignore the last scene in the rain.
/3rtful, too tangential, leave your Volvagia style sidebars at home.
Bravo, Bruno!
