The greatest Best Picture Oscar winner of all time?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brad Russ · 10-16-2005, 06:24 AM

Please disregard my other Oscar post. I tried deleting it, but for some reason I'm unable to. I thought I would just list every best picture oscar, from 1928, to 2004, and find out what the most popular is that way. You can choose more than one film, but please don't choose any more than 5. And the nominees are............

Brad Russ · 10-16-2005, 06:56 AM

I have to admit that alot of those films I haven't seen, but here's my top 5 of the ones I have seen:

1. One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
2. Rocky
3. Titanic
4. Schindlers List
5. Million Dollar Baby

The French Connection

vashti1999 · 10-16-2005, 04:14 PM

I picked these as my five:
1.West Side Story
2.Rocky
3.Midnight Cowboy
4.Terms of Endearment
5.Titanic

In another time I would've picked The Deer Hunter, but I watched it again recently and I didn't think it was a strong as I used to think. West Side Story, Rocky and Midnight Cowboy are three of my all time top favorites.

I'm going to have to watch all of those before I make choices.

Kay Scarpetta · 10-16-2005, 07:12 PM

West Side Story, Titanic, The Godfather, The Godfather II, Braveheart

I love The Deer Hunter.

Midnight Cowboy is really good, though a little dated.

Penny Lane · 10-16-2005, 08:27 PM

I choose Forrest Gump and Gone With The Wind a close second!

After thinking about it, I figured that was probably the reason I was unable to delete it. Thanks for the info!!

I agree with you on that. The last hour I think is very good, but the first couple hours, especially the wedding, and the hunting stuff is really boring, and slow. You have to have a great attention span to sit through it.

Brian Damage · 10-16-2005, 09:53 PM

The Godfather
