What are the most disputed Oscar wins for Best Picture??

[beejus]

SPR is overrated boring trash besides the opening.

Thin Red Line>>>>>>

 

[TRIPLE M]

Raiders of the lost ark losing to chariots of fire in 1982... Nobody even remembers that fukking movie, just the song from it
And than Spielberg losing director for it to warren Beatty for reds... Another movie that's hardly seen
It's a travesty:SHUT UP FOOL!:

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Psycho, 2001, og King Kong, and several other classics weren't even nominated, and several Best Picture winners are long forgotten. All bs politics

 

[StraxStrax]

Spike was robbed. "Malcolm X" should of won Best Picture as well as "Do The Right Thing" but God Forbid a Black Man win Best Picture and Director.

I love this board, people claiming Do The Right Thing is better then

Driving Miss Daisy
Born on the Fourth of July
Dead Poets Society
Field of Dreams
My Left Foot

 

[Bruce LeRoy]

LOL@Driving Miss Daisy being better than Do The Right Thing. I guess if you're into "safe" movies about race with nice safe negroes in it OK. It's a good movie but c'mon now..

Dead Poets Society? Field of Dreams? I'll maybe agree with Born on the Fourth of July and My Left Foot are equally as good even then... neither of those films had the impact that Do The Right Thing did.

The only acceptable answer to this thread is Crash.

Movie was a piece of shyt.

 

[lamont614]

I thought slumdog was dope and crash

 

[x-factor7]

I thought slumdog was dope and crash

I liked them both too, but they weren't Best Picture material

 

[g-ice]

Gotta go with Crash for sure.

 

[mastermind]

king's speech is a forgettable movie.

disagree



as for this thread, for what ive seen and care about, its Crash. I remember the hype around that movie and lovig it when I saw it.

It was only after seeing that movie for a 2nd time that you sit there and go

 

[THE 101]

I love this board, people claiming Do The Right Thing is better then

Driving Miss Daisy
Born on the Fourth of July
Dead Poets Society
Field of Dreams
My Left Foot

Umm...........it's easily better than all those films. People still talk about Do the Right Thing to this day. Most of them films are contrived, typical awards bait.

I still have yet to see Slumdog, something about douche Indian kids running amuck doesn't grab my attention

ive seen it years ago and there are probably 5 better movies from that year, some nominated, some not.

if it was a typical hero story movie, why was it nominated by the academy at all? it changed the face of modern filmmaking. it is indisputably THE most important film of that year and probably the last 50 years if you wanna take it there. you can debate whether being good or being important should win best picture i guess. the academy flip flops on that all the time. those two movies are apples and oranges anyways.

Movie aficionados can appreciate the influence Star Wars had on cinema 50 years after the fact, but only because they now have perspective. You rate a movie on its own merits (at the time of its release), not on the influence you think it may or may not have 20 years from now.

I'm not talking about 50 years after. It's impact was felt enough that year to win. It wasn't some undiscovered gem that was appreciated after it's time. It was the overall better movie. The Academy has always had a boner for Woody Allen.

denzel deserved that oscar that shyt was a disgrace. unforgiven is a good movie but clint just played an older version of the nameless cowboy. shyt was not best actor material.

C/s I love the double standard. Eastwood plays himself in literally every movie but people shyt on Samuel L. Jackson for supposedly being himself in every movie.
