We kind of got on this topic before on another thread, so I thought I'd bring it up on it's own space. The OSCARS. Best Picture. What do you think was their best decision? What was their worst?

For me, I love that they picked Rebecca (1940) and The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) for Best Picture. I still think they are some of the strongest films ever made.

If you've never seen Rebecca, do yourself a favor, SEE IT! Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, it's one of the most stylish films ever to win Best Picture. Oh, and it was the second film in America for some English actor -- Laurence Olivier! And if you want to know what's so great about The Best Years of Our Lives... look, just PM me, and I'll explain it to you :lol:

And what in the world were they thinking when they picked An American in Paris over A Streetcar Named Desire??? Hello!!!! One is a cute song and dance show, the other is one of the strongest pieces of film ever made! Good lord, were they blind??????????

I am going to have to disagree with you again, Emily. I think Rebecca is a great movie, but I would have actually perferred that Foreign Correspondent had won best picture of 1940. Also, I disagree with The Best Years Of Our Lives because I think it's a pretty dull movie.

High Noon should have won over Greatest Show on Earth in 1952. And I don't care who disagrees with me...Star Wars over Annie Hall in 1977. No contest. :D

No, Saturday Night Fever should have won for 1977. :D

No, Saturday Night Fever should have won for 1977. :D
both more memorable than Annie Hall. :lol:

That's for sure. :lol:

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) for Best Picture.



I completely agree! I'm glad I listened to your recommendation of that film years ago, because it has now become one of my favorites.

Foreign Correspondent? Really? God, that's the only Hitchcock movie I actually fell asleep during. The Best Years of Our Lives, well, I'm sorry - you're entitled to your opinion... however wrong it may be :D

Chariots of Fire (1981)

You know, I actually had Chariots of Fire listed as one of the worst pics at the beginning of the thread, but I thought it was getting too long and cut it. What was with that movie? I don't know anyone who saw that movie and liked it. And I'm one of the few people who was already familiar with every actor in the cast. I still couldn't follow it. It was so boring. Great soundtrack, but since when did that earn a Best Picture Oscar? :rolleyes:

Okay, The Godfather deserved the Oscar, yes. But, well, if only Cabaret hadn't come out the same year! Dang it, I would have loved to see Cabaret take that Best Picture! (Although it did pick up Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actor.)

And no one's mentioned it yet, but will someone please explain to me what was so great about The Deer Hunter? Sheesh, it was a movie about a bunch of guys playing Russian roulette, over and over and over. I'm sure it had some deep meaning somewhere... but yeah, that went right over my head.

THE LAST EMPEROR is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I have it on DVD. Unless you know the factual story behind the movie, it might be a dull movie. It is a superb piece of work and it may not be a memorable movie to most, it certainly deserves to be.

Raiders of the Lost Ark or even Atlantic City should have won the oscar for best picture in 1981. I liked the theme and that was it, although I liked it much better when it was used in National Lampoon's Vacation. :lol:

Yea I think Reds was the favorite to win best picture that year and I don't like that movie either. It was no Bonnie and Clyde. :lol:

Maybe it's a guy movie. :lol: That's one of my favorites. I loved it a lot better than Coming Home.

I haven't seen The Deer Hunter in a long time. I really need to get the DVD. :lol: Yeah, it's a guy movie, but theres so much going on, you almost forget that it is. You see this group of friends as they go off to war and all the stuff that happens to them along the way and after the war. Christoper Walken gives the perfomance of his career. At first he's just a guy who's going off to war and by the end he is just completely nuts. The whole cast was great though and it was John Cazale's last film. I thought he did a pretty good job. It must have been hard for everyone though knowing he was dying. :(

And how can you not love a movie in which Robert De Niro actually requested a live bullet in the Russian roulette revolver to heighten the intensity? Talk about keeping it real. :eek: :lol:

I think that might have helped. :lol:

Seriously though, I decided to watch it one night on cable and I knew nothing abt the story. It was a boring night for television. Let me tell you, considering I didn't know anything abt the movie, after watching it, I decided to research the true story of this emperor. I was blown away by the actual facts. It helped me the next time I watched the movie. There are two versions, the regular cut and the director's cut. I reccomend the director's cut. It is long, but worthwhile. Just like the first time I watched the Godfather, I didn't really get the whole underlying story, so I had to research it and it helped me to better understand it.

Yea I think Reds was the favorite to win best picture that year and I don't like that movie either. It was no Bonnie and Clyde. :lol:

I never saw Reds and I don't think I ever will either. It's a movie about communism, right? :lol:

Yea...about a bunch of communists. :lol: I like some of Beatty's movies but others I don't know about. :lol: I agree with you about Raiders and Atlantic City. Both of those movies were great. :D

Maybe I'll give it another chance sometime. :cool: I saw it about 6 years ago and the main problem I had with it was the length. It's usually hard for me to get into movies that last that long unless theres a lot of action. Heck, I didn't even like Lawrence of Arabia the first time I saw it and that had plenty of action. :lol:

The only Warren Beatty movie I really love is Bonnie and Clyde. :lol: Splendor in the Grass was ok. I haven't seen too many of his movies though.

Yea and I read that Meryl Streep was going out with John Cazale at the time. :( I'm not a big fan of hers but she was even great in the movie. I love De Niro.... anything to make the movie more realistic. :lol:

Me neither. I thought she was good in Deer Hunter and Kramer vs. Kramer, but other than that, I haven't really seen her in anything else. :lol:

Heaven Can Wait is a good movie. I'd check that one out. :)

How abt SHAMPOO with Warren Beatty?

Me neither. I thought she was good in Deer Hunter and Kramer vs. Kramer, but other than that, I haven't really seen her in anything else. :lol:
Those are the only 2 movies I liked her in too. :lol: I have Bridges of Madison County on tape but that's one Clint Eastwood movie that's a bore. Too much talking between those two. Clint needed to teach her how to shoot a gun or have her husband catch them...anything to make it more interesting. :lol:

How abt SHAMPOO with Warren Beatty?
You know I taped that movie years ago and I've yet to watch it. :lol:

I remember when Jane Fonda had a fit abt THE DEER HUNTER winning the Oscar for Best Picture. She had campaigned against the movie after the nominations were announced.

That movie was on TCM late at night about a week ago. I tried to watch it but I was too tired. :lol:

I like some of Jane Fonda's movies but her politics are a lot to be desired. I think a lot of that had to do with Deer Hunter competing with Coming Home. They were two different kinds of movies. I did watch Coming Home and it wasn't a bad movie...I just liked the Deer Hunter better. She won her Oscar anyway. :lol:

Just kidding. Mine was probably 9 to 5. That's a great movie.

Some Oscar facts:

The Big Five: Only three films have won the top five awards (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay):

It Happened One Night (1934)
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Clean Sweeps: Only four Best Picture winners have won every award for which they were nominated (the first was five for five, the next two were nine for nine, and LOTR was 11 for 11; except for the 1934 film, none of the films were nominated for acting awards):

5 for 5: It Happened One Night (1934)
9 for 9: Gigi (1958)
9 for 9: The Last Emperor (1987)
11 for 11: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
The Matrix (1999), not a Best Picture nominee, also won 4 for 4.


Shut Outs: Two films hold the dubious distinction of being nominated eleven times without a single Oscar win. Other films with 8 or more competitive nominations are also included:

Film (Year) Nominations Wins
The Turning Point (1977) 11 0
The Color Purple (1985) 11 0
Gangs of New York (2002) 10 0
The Little Foxes (1941) 9 0
Peyton Place (1957) 9 0
Quo Vadis? (1951) 8 0
The Nun's Story (1959) 8 0
The Sand Pebbles (1966) 8 0
The Elephant Man (1980) 8 0
Ragtime (1981) 8 0
The Remains of the Day (1993)

Star Wars should have beat Annie Hall (1977).

Raging Bull I would take over Ordinary People, though I'm OK with it (1980).

The Verdict should have won over Ghandi (1982).

Goodfellas should have absolutely won instead of Dances With Wolves (1990).

Pulp Fiction or The Shawshank Redemption over Forrest Gump (1994).

Fargo instead of The English Patient (1996).

Saving Private Ryan over Shakespeare in Love- pretty much a joke (1998).

My favorite was Barbarella... Before the opening credits. :lol:

Just kidding. Mine was probably 9 to 5. That's a great movie.

:lol: It's a good thing they had her get naked at the beginning of the movie. If they waited till later or towards the end I doubt many people would have seen it. :lol: I still can't believe I watched that movie all the way through. :eek:

I have never seen Barbarella.

I know this thread is abt movies, but I have to say I was irritated that Cher was NOT nominated for Best Actress for MASK. One great performance.

Maybe if Clint had told Meryl Streep's character, "Go ahead, make my day"...she might have. ;)

And my darling of the Oscars: Cabaret holds the distinction of being the film that won the most awards (8) without winning best picture :crying:

And Liza Minnelli remains the only child of two Oscar winners (Vincente Minnelli and Judy Garland) to win an Oscar herself. :D

I saw the original years ago and thought it was pretty good so maybe I'll check it out next time it's on. :cool:

Oh, please, don't. The original Heaven Can Wait has nothing to do with the Warren Beatty version. It's not a remake, they just happen to have the same name.

Come to think of it, I believe the original Heaven Can Wait was nominated for best picture. well, let's not get into Liza's unrequited love for Don Ameche! :eyes: :heart: :love: :eyes:

The original version was called Here Comes Mr. Jordan starring Robert Montgomery...very good movie. Heaven can wait wasn't bad either but it was a total different movie.

Let me add, I also hated when an actress, I believe it was Judi Dentsch (sp?) who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for playing Queen Elizabeth I believe and she was only on screen for several minutes. :eek: What the hell??? Nominate people who had more screen time than that!

She only won because she was "robbed" the year before :rolleyes: I think they should win for what they're nominated for. Did Nicole Kidman really deserve it for The Hours? Come on, that was so obviously a make-up for Moulin Rouge/The Others the year before.

I know a lot of Best Supporting Actress winners did not have a lot of screentime though. Miyoshi Umecki won for Sayonara, Beatrice Straight in Network, and Ingrid Bergman in Murder on the Orient Express... but I think they all deserved it :)

I agree. It was a make-up and also because people considered that to be "her year."

Another person who seemed to win simply because it was "time they won an Oscar" was Geraldine Page for A TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL. She died shortly thereafter if I recall correctly. That was the year of The Color Purple. A movie for which it was said was ignored for the most part by the Academy as far as Oscar wins was concerned.

I also read that Elizabeth Taylor was awarded Best Actress for BUTTERFIELD 8 because it was thought she was going to die of pneumonia that year.

I didn't think I'd like it either. I guess I like sentimental movies like that. It's basically about an old woman who wants to return to her old hometown even though the town's all changed from what she remembers it as. She gets no help from her family so she runs away by herself to see it. lol I guess knowing that's it's one of Paige's last movies , it makes it hit home more...sort of like Henry Fonda from On Golden Pond.

If you want to see a different character for Geraldine Paige, watch the Beguiled with Clint Eastwood. :eek:

Oh, I made a pretty good post abt my love for that movie THE BEGUILED on some movie thread. I think it was a Clint Eastwood thread. I love the uncensored version. ;) :grineyes: Very steamy. I never get tired of that movie. I need to get it on DVD.

Star Wars is the most overated piece of completely plotless movie fluff, in history
