     Can't say as I agree with much of this.

  • 9 8 7 and 5  Wouldn't even be on my list.

     Annie Hall Rocky and On the Waterfront would probably be there.  Add Casa Blanca would be a lot higher. Granted it's a subjective list and there are a lot of movies I liked better than these that didn't win best picture.

    Yea.  I only agree with about half of them.   Here would be my Top Ten Personal Favorites among the  Best Picture winners,  no particular order:

    The Godfather  I  and II.    I combine them.

    Lord of the Ring.    Return of the King.     Though I think the award is really for the whole Trilogy

    Chicago

    Schindler's List

    The Sting

    Patton

    Lawrence of Arabia

    Casablanca

    Rocky

    The French Connection

    Honorable Mentions:  One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest;   In the Heat of the Night;  Bridge on the River Kwai; Gladiator,  Shakespeare in Love;  Titanic; Silence of the Lambs;  Amadeus,  It Happened One Night.  The King's Speech. Unforgiven.  Could be others. 

    Shit LIst, ile  the worst    (Note...only involves ones I have seen, there are actually a number that I have not seen, or don't remember...particularly the older ones...and some of the newer ones):

    Crash

    The English Patient

    Out of Africa

    Gigi

    12 Years a Slave

    Kramer vs. Kramer

    GGR did not win Best Picture.  I was only going with ones that actually won.   If we put a Top Ten list together of movies that didn't win  (but perhaps should have)....that would be a whole other thing. 

    I think putting Parasite on their is a bit of an affront because, as far as I am concerned,  everyone knows that  Once Upon a Time in Hollywood should have won. 

    But, go ahead, list your Top Ten of Non-winners. 

    I think there was one year that had both Pulp Fiction and Shawshank Redemption lose out to Forrest Gump.

     I know it didn't. I wanted it to beon the list of best pictures.

      That's true I think pulp fiction should have one.
