So,since 1929 Oscar gives a statuette to the best picture of the year

+ Argo and 12 years a slave
Oscar gave 86 statuettes since the beginning of it,some mostly peoples agree and some of them are very debatable. But,from all of the 86,which one do you like most ?
From all of them,mine is The Departed. It's not my favorite movie ever,but it's fantastic,excellent action scenes,great performances and a mind blown ending.

 

[Helmholtz]

Return of The King. I prefer Fellowship, but it never won best picture.

 

[CreepingFear]

The Godfather or Rocky for me.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Godfather for me

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Lawrence of Arabia or Schindler's List.

 

[Team Alucard]

Crash

I'm not joking either

 

[Delta Assault]

Forrest Gump and Driving Miss Daisy.

They usually get it wrong (Shakespeare in Love, Slumdog) but I had nothing bad to say about those two.

 

[Elitist1945]

Titanic.

 

[bud]

the godfather part ii.

 

[Mix Master]

gladiator

 

[Renegade Yeti]

Return of the king
Also probably would have said no country for old men until the last ten minutes and it's lack of an actual conclusion

 

[Acorn]

The Godfather

 

[Currygan]

Lawrence of Arabia, Godfather 2, Schindler's List, Annie Hall

 

[Choomp]

GoodFellas. Oh right fuck you Dances With Wolves

But yeah it's the Godfather

Also Argo and 12 Years a Slave aren't on that list

 

[Laieon]

The Departed, Forest Gump, or Titanic

 

[number11]

Considering it's probably my favourite movie of all time, I guess it has to be The Godfather.

Looking at this list really makes you realise how forgettable the winners from the last 15 or so years are (with 1-2 exceptions).

 

[spekkeh]

Well, in terms of movies arriving in that time in your life, I'm probably going with Return of the King or Gladiator as most favoritest.

Best movie, erm, Forrest Gump I think? It's still pretty unique among the entire list.

Other greats: The Artist, Slumdog, Schindler's List, Silence of the Lambs, Deer Hunter, Godfather, Lawrence of Arabia. Rest is either too old, too oscar baity, absolutely the wrong one in that year, or simply decent.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

River Kwai or Lawrence of Arabia.

 

[mp1990]

Return of the king
Also probably would have said no country for old men until the last ten minutes and it's lack of an actual conclusion

tbh i really don't think that No Country of Old Man could finish in any other way than being the most confusing thing ever,because is a film so fucked up that if it had been finished in a cliche way would be way worse.

 

[Akahige]

Platoon won Best Picture? News to me, that movie was 7/10 at best.

Unforgiven would be my pick.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Forrest Gump, Annie Hall, The Apartment, The Artist. So many good movies to choose one.

 

[Wilbur]

The Godfather.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

God the 70s were amazing for cinema, pretty much all my favorites in that list are from there. If I had to pick one it'd probably be Cuckoo's Nest, that movie has really stayed with me over the years. Runners up would be Godfather II and Annie Hall.

 

[mp1990]

GoodFellas. Oh right fuck you Dances With Wolves

But yeah it's the Godfather

Also Argo and 12 Years a Slave aren't on that list

I added this on my OG post,couldn't find a better list so i just put this that way.

 

[Currygan]

make it "last 90 years or so"

minus some exceptions of course

 

[MichaelFassbender]

The Bridge over the River Kwai -

"What have I done?"

or

The Artist

"With pleasure!"

 

[Skid 4 Dead]

The Departed, Gladiator or Rocky. It's really hard for me to pick between them.

Spoiler

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

 

[Dénouement]

1940 - Rebecca

Alfred Hitchcock's first "Hollywood" film and his only movie to win Best Picture (it's also the only movie in history that won Best Picture without receiving a single award in the acting, writing, or directing categories).

It was the first Hitchcock film I saw and is still my favorite of his.

 

[Carbonox]

The Godfather or Rocky for me.

Throw in Silence of the Lambs too and this would be my favourite 3.

 

[whatsinaname]

One of these four.

The Sting
The Apartment
All Quiet on the Western Front
In The Heat of the Night


If I had to pick one, then All Quiet on the Western Front.

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

Return of the King for me.

I don't usually care for the kinds of movies that win best picture.

 

[Bloodrage]

Silence of the Lambs.

 

[RangerX]

Forrest Gump won best picture? What in the everlasting fuck! Anyway for me Its either One flew over the cuckoos nest or Unforgiven. I can't decide which.

 

[CreepingFear]

Throw in Silence of the Lambs too and this would be my favourite 3.

No arguments. Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins were amazing. It's a little hard to re-watch though with the gore.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Probably Annie Hall

 

[Robot Carnival]

split between the following

The Godfather
Schindler's List
The Silence of the Lambs
Dances With Wolves
American Beauty

these are all great movies that can't be replace.

 

[True Savior]

Argo lol. It never stops to be funny.

The Godfather , The Godfather Part 2 , Lawrence of Arabia , The Apartment , Annie Hall are the top 5

 

[UFO]

Forrest Gump.

 

[spekkeh]

tbh i really don't think that No Country of Old Man could finish in any other way than being the most confusing thing ever,because is a film so fucked up that if it had been finished in a cliche way would be way worse.

What about the completely missing second act. I thought that film was awful all around, typical Coen bros autofellatio. Still it has its fans for some reason.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

Annie Hall or All About Eve. Best best picture winner of the last 15 years though is Million Dollar Baby.

 

[Crud]

Titanic.

.

 

[Peru]

This is actually very easy.

Rest is either too old, .

... what?

 

[Rock And Roll]

The Departed, American Beauty and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest are a few of my all time favourites.

 

[Currygan]

No arguments. Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins were amazing. It's a little hard to re-watch though with the gore.

I suppose you aren't watching Hannibal the tv show ?

Welp,i didn't had any problems with it,maybe i need to see it again ? I found a really good movie,not a Oscar winner imo but still great,but i was a bit confused at the time with it

Spoiler

i don't have idea why

and didn't enjoyed it as much as people hyped it.

 

[CreepingFear]

I suppose you aren't watching Hannibal the tv show ?

I am actually. I can't wait for Season 3! That show makes the food, that you know are made out of humans, look very appetizing.

 

[Peru]

Argo lol. It never stops to be funny.

Man.. I forgot about the existence of this movie, nevermind the fact that it won an Oscar!

 

[DTLIONS1013]

Return of the King or Godfather

 

[squidyj]

Annie Hall
The Godfather
Lawrence of Arabia

 

[ElTorro]

Schindler's List. One of the most emotional movies I've ever seen.
