Your Best Picture Winners
Yeah, so since people always complain about who wins Best Picture, I wanted to see, if you were all 6000 members of the Academy, what movies would be your Best Picture winners since, oh, let's say 2000?

Re: Your Best Picture Winners
Year indicates when the film came out, not necessarily when it was eligible for the Oscar (which I'm not bothering to look up)
2000 - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, or In the Mood for Love 2001 - Millennium Mambo 2002 - Hero, or The Two Towers 2003 - City of God or Lost in Translation, or A Tale of Two Sisters 2004 - 2046, The Sea Inside, House of Flying Daggers, or Yesterday 2005 - Three Times, The New World, or Howl's Moving Castle 2006 - Pan's Labyrinth, or Syndromes and a Century 2007 - Spirited Away (or There Will Be Blood or Secret Sunshine, if No Country for Old Men hadn't won--one of few years the Academy got it right) 2008 - WALL-E, Lust, Caution, Let the Right One In, The Secret of the Grain, or Ponyo 2009 - A Prophet 2010 - Toy Story 3, Let Me In, Black Swan, Poetry, or Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives 2011 - The Tree of Life, or A Separation 2012 - Nothing I'd give a best pic to yet, but I haven't seen any of the Cannes entries, etc.

Re: Your Best Picture Winners
2011 - A Separation over Tree of Life
2010 - True Grit 2009 - Inglourious Basterds (although the movie that's sticking with me is A Serious Man) 2008 - Man on Wire (and, yes, The Dark Knight is terrific) 2007 - No Country for Old Men narrowly over There Will be Blood. Zodiac was terrific too. 2006 - Pan's Labyrinth narrowly over Brick 2005 - Grizzly Man 2004 - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2003 - Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World over The Station Agent 2002 - City of God over Y Tu Mama Tambien 2001 - Mulholland Dr. (although Gosford Park and LotR: FotR are both terrific as well) 2000 - Memento Just to take it back further: 1999 - Being John Malkovich although on any given day I could vote for Toy Story 2, The Matrix, The Iron Giant, or The Insider. An incredible year. 1998 - Saving Private Ryan over Out of Sight 1997 - L.A. Confidential 1996 - Fargo 1995 - Twelve Monkeys 1994 - Ed Wood 1993 - Schindler's List (although Remains of the Day is rising in my estimation) 1992 - Unforgiven 1991 - Silence of the Lambs 1990 - Goodfellas 1989 - Do the Right Thing 1988 - Bull Durham over The Last Temptation of Christ 1987 - Robocop 1986 - Blue Velvet 1985 - Akira Kurosawa's Ran 1984 - Amadeus 1983 - The Right Stuff 1982 - Blade Runner 1981 - Raiders of the Lost Ark 1980 - Raging Bull Last edited by Evil Twin; 06-30-2012 at 08:03 AM. |

Re: Your Best Picture Winners
I am a weird guy, but they're still all brilliant choices.
That's just a snapshot anyway. If I did that a week ago or a week from now, it'd be a little different. It ebbs and it flows. |
