Pick a year.
Name the movie that one Best Picture for that year of production at the Academy Awards then name a more befitting winner.
I'll start with the most two most obvious ones.
1979
>Winner: Kramer vs Kramer
>What should have won: Apocalypse Now
1980
>Winner: Ordinary People
>What should have won: Raging Bull
>>71096728
>Name the movie that one Best Picture
2006
>Winner: Crash
>What should have won: Capote
>>71096746
Fuck. Didn't even notice. No need to let it derail the thread though.
>>71096772
>Not Brokeback
But seriously, any one of the other nominees would have been a better choice.
>2015
>Winner: Birdshit
>Should have won: Not that piece of shit Birdshit
>>71096728
>1990
>Dances with Wolves
>what should've won : Goodfellas
1990
>Dances with Wolves
to
>Goodfellas
>1985
>Out of Africa
to
>Back to the Future or Brazil or something, who cares about Out of Africa
1976 (too obvious)
>Rocky to Taxi Driver
>>71097040
>1976 (too obvious)
>Rocky to Taxi Driver
I don't know if that's an obvious choice. It's my favourite from the year but Network is a classic and just as high quality and All the President's Men is also fantastic. I love Rocky but it really doesn't compare to those three.
>>71096728
1999.
>Winner: SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE
>What should have won: Saving Private Ryan.
I'll pick an obvious one.
2010
>Winner: The King's Speech
>What should have won: The Social Network
1941
>Winner: How Green Was My Valley
>What should have won: Citizen Kane
1958
>Winner: Gigi
>What should have won: Vertigo
1969
>Winner: Oliver!
>What should have won: 2001: A Space Odyssey
1957
>Winner: Around the World in 80 Days
>What should have won: The Searchers (didn't even get a single nomination)
>>71096949
>>71097040
>Goodfellas better than Dances with Wolves
Exactly what a redditor would think.
>>71097267
Incredible argument there. You sure showed us
inb4 whatever year Shakespeare in Love won and Saving Private Ryan
>>71097183
aw shit I waited too long to post it
Anyway,
2010
>Winner: The King's Speech
>What should have won:Toy Story 3
2012
>winner The Artist
to
>Shame
>>71097262
How Green is my Valley is a lovely film and Donald Crisp is a good dadfu but it's still mindblowing that it beat Citizen Kane. There's not one single way in which it's better than Kane.
>>71096728
2006
>Winner: Crash
>What should have won: Literally any other film ever made. Even films that didn't fall into that years oscar window.
>>71097316
The Artist is a terrible movie, I don't know if shame deserved it but it was way better
1966
>Winner: A Man For All Seasons
>What should have won: The Good The Bad The Ugly
Everyone agrees on this right?
The Oscars are completely meaningless anyway. The true indicator of a great movie is if it still gets praise years after its release
2002
>Winner: fucking Chicago
>What should have won: The Pianist or Lord of the Rings
>>71097391
>wahhh they make me feel bad about being racist
Crash maybe didn't deserve to win best picture but come on, there's no place in the world that hates it as much as /tv/
Babel was better; Crash was just moreplebeian
1994: Forrest Gump
To
The Shawshank Redemption
>>71097561
Dude everyone hates Crash, not just /tv/.
>>71097537
this
only turboplebs care about the Oscars
>>71096728
>taking the oscars seriously
>>71097582
>Shawshank
>not Pulp Fiction
>>71097537
True indicator is box office performance.
>>71097262
Kane wasn't recognized though upon release. They just didn't understand it back in a day. What I'm talking about is deep focus, ceilings, non-linear narrative.
>>71097267
No, it is better.
>>71097776
Hellooooooo reddit
>>71097561
>you don't like crash
>clearly you are /pol/tard
Flawless logic there mate.
In reality my political leanings are nothing of the sort. By the standards of the rabid internet conservatives I would most likely be deemed a "sjw" or god forbid a "cuck"
That doesn't just change the fact that Crash is literally one of the most obnoxious movie experiences I've ever had. A preachy mess that perhaps has its heart in the right place and some messages I can dig but is still completely unwatchable due its delivery and execution.
>>71097776
Forrest Gump > Pulp Fiction
>>71097776
Bonjour Reddit!
>>71097228
holy shit inception was nominated this year
>>71097776
Hola Reddito!
>>71097877
Yeah, so?
>>71097818
>>71097874
>>71097898
samefag
>le shawshank is the greatest movie of all time meme xDD
Fucking kill yourself, senpai
>>71097928
i think it's funny that they would nominate such a mediocre movie
>>71096728
2009
>Winner: The Hurt Locker
>should have won: The Cuckold
>>71097950
Oh, I thought you were suggesting it should've won.
>>71097836
Same guy you responded to
Again, I would recommend Babel as it's a much more worldly (literally, it takes place in various locations in the world) experience and isn't as incredibly hamfisted as Crash.
>>71097776
bon giorno, redditino
uno farto a minuto 3:17??
>>71097818
>>71097874
>>71097898
Terrible samefagging
Just go back to sleep if you're this bored
>>71097932
>get called out on your plebeian taste
>s-samefag xD
I bet you also think Breaking Bad is the best show ever, huh, champ?
>>71097950
Every year there's a completely mediocre movie nominated for best picture.
Most years, those mediocre movies actually win best picture.
>>71097391
>>71096772
Crash was 2005
>>71097776
Back to reddït with you kid
>>71097811
They still gave it the Oscar for best screenplay. It was a critical success and widely loved by those who saw it but failed to make back it's budget, mainly because Hearst systematically tried to destroy it and a lot of people were scared of him.
>>71097950
>Inception has been constantly put in the top 20 in recent top 100 lists in many publications
Jesus Christ. It was a pretty good movie but nothing more. Why do people praise it so much?
>>71098004
>thinks shawshank is anything more than a good saturday afternoon flick
I bet you think Speed Racer and BvS are absolute kinography
>>71097932
I don't think Shawshank is the greatest movie of all time, but it's a hell of a lot better than Pleb Fiction. Tarantino is fucking cancer.
>>71098138
Says the actual cancer
>>71098138
If Pulp Fiction wasn't so widely adored contrarian /tv/ posters would love it. I still do.
>>71098122
The average moviegoer is an idiot that though Inception was a mindfuck
>>71098122
Because it's babby's first surreal (barely) movie with a complex (lol) plot.
People like the movie because it makes them feel smart because they understand it.
>>71098178
Maybe you should go back to where you came from. I heard they love Pulp Fiction over there.
>>71097843
Up boated my good sir!
>>71097262
Citizen Kane and Vertigo are overrated.
I unironically think Gigi and How Green was my valley are better films.
>>71098185
You speak the true true
>>71097776
>Pulp Fiction
I think pic related should've won over Spotlight.
>>71098322
>>71098207
>shawshank>pulp fiction
This, kids, is called le reddit cancer
>>71098322
>>71098322
Fuck you
>>71098322
hjhgj
>>71098211
Forrest Gump is the least reddit of the three
>1982
Winner: Chariots of Fire
Should have won: Raiders
>>71098347
Lmao sure kid.
>>71097811
>They just didn't understand it back in a day. What I'm talking about is deep focus, ceilings, non-linear narrative.
John Ford used ceilings at least as early as 2 years before Citizen Kane in Stagecaoch.
I'm not sure exactly what you think is "non-linear" about the narrative either. It's just a framing device and then it goes back in time. This isn't Eisenstein or anything.
As for deep focus, I don't think it's realistically that impressive.
I understand that it was influential to a lot of directors I respect but the film is an overwrought mess of banal symbolism.
>>71098347
>Shawshank not better than Pulp Fiction
No, that is what we call reddit cancer.
Pulp Fiction isn't a bad flick, but Shawshank Redemption is infinitely better.
I bet the only reason you think Pulp Fiction is better is because it had
>lol so much violence, dae remember when they raped that guy xD
>>71098347
Are you retarded? Pulp Fiction is certified reddit garbage.
>>71097582
>>71097776

>>71098207
Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump and Shawshank Redemption are all very "reddit" movies (not necessarily bad ones), for whatever it signifies.
I mean Shawshank is used as a film study in high school English classes, while being completely accessible (it's fucking Stephen King). It's about as reddit as a movie can get.
>>71098448
>>71098473
>>71098605
>uses reddit as a measure of quality
>reddit says tomato, /tv/ says tomahto
>everything reddit likes, /tv/ automatically hates
>mfw reddit controls what /tv/ likes
Having actual critical thinking is out of question, I see.
Happy you like being controled.
Good for you, little man.
>>71098655
I'm pretty sure reddit hates Forrest Gump because it beat Pulp Fiction
>>71098655
You now realise those movies are older than the average redditor
>>71098605
And Shawshank is not, right?
>>71098684
I don't give a shit about reddit and neither should the rest of you
>>71098708
I really don't.
>>71098684
Are you honestly surprised?
4chan is so obsessed with cuckolding, they're being cuckolded by Reddit's opinion on everything.
>>71098704
It is. But that was in response to an anon who implied liking Shawshank more was reddit. Clearly, it isn't.
>>71098605
Oh my god... Oh no... Oh god no...
>>71098758
Because a fucking Top 250 says so. It must be the truth!
2010
>Winner: The King's Speech
>What should have won: The Social Network
>>71098813
More redditors voted it as their favorite movie, so yes, it's true. Just admit your taste is as reddit as it gets.
>>71098903
My taste is as reddit as it gets. :)
Not exactly related to the subject, but Rosamund Pike not winning best actress for Gone Girl was a travesty. Julianne Moore won for some forgettable flick instead.
>2003
>Last Samurai not even nominated
>>71098988
>The Academy is full of retards and/or plebs
>More news at 11
>>71098138
If you're going to shit on Tarantino, Pulp Fiction is the last film you'd want to do it with. Shawshank is pure Oscar bait btw
>>71097267
t. redditor

>>wahhh they make me feel bad about being racist
crash largely condones or excuses racism. it's just a bad movie.

reddit nigger fuck off

And you have bars on your bed so you don't unironically fall out
>>71098371
That was a close one
Fury Road should have won best picture instead of spotlight. I would have been fine with the Revenant winning too.
>>71097316
