10. Manchester by the Sea

DVD/Blu-Ray Release Date: Feb. 21

Rating: R

Written By: Kenneth Lonergan

Directed By: Kenneth Lonergan

Starring: Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams, Lucas Hedges, Kyle Chandler

Nominated for six Oscars, Manchester by the Sea is a gripping tale that will leave you in tears and stick in your mind for weeks after watching the movie. Casey Affleck plays Lee Chandler who learns his brother has suddenly died and he is awarded custody of his teenage nephew. It was a stunning performance from Affleck who was a star on the awards circuit, picking up a Golden Globe and an Oscar for his performance. Not a bad substitute for Matt Damon who was originally supposed to play the part.

Affleck wasn’t the only one to come away with an Oscar for his work on the movie as Kenneth Lonergan won for Best Orignal Screenplay. He was also nominated for Best Director and Michelle Williams and Lucas Hedges were nominated for Supporting Actress and Actor and the movie was nominated for Best Picture.

The Amazon Original movie was the first movie to win an Oscar and you can see why after purchasing the DVD or Blu-ray.
