[TheProfessor]

In Your Opinion...

What was the best movie, to be nominated but NOT win Best Picture at the Oscars?

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Goodfellas ofcourse.

 

[Matt]

Yeah, not even a question. Goodfellas.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Goodfellas. One of the most rewatchable films EVA. And Rocky was a great movie and everything but was it better than Taxi Driver?

 

[Galactus]

The Shawshank Redemption

 

[Symbiotic]

Pulp Fiction

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Saving Private Ryan

 

[Movies205]

Goodfellas is good and all but Raging Bull is Martin Scorcese masterpiece

 

[Catman]

Shocked no one has said Star Wars.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

oh and L.A. Confidential.

 

[Mr Jide]

JFK

Excellent film, and better than the very corny Silence of the Lambs.

 

[The Chairman]

Excellent film, and better than the very corny Silence of the Lambs.

SOTL is great, but JFK is better in every way. SOTL is underwhelming. Outside of Hopkins, the film is overrated, though still very good.

JFK also has an amazing cast.

Neither film won. Network beat both of them.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Rocky won Best Picture.

 

[The Chairman]

Rocky won Best Picture.

Did it?

 

[Carmine Falcone]

SOTL is great, but JFK is better in every way. SOTL is underwhelming. Outside of Hopkins, the film is overrated, though still very good.

JFK also has an amazing cast.

The cast of JFK is truly jawdropping. From John Candy to Joe Pesci and everything in between.

Some time ago I caught SOTL on Tv and was shocked at the corny-ness of it all. It has good acting and suspense though.

 

[Bat Attack]

Shawshank Redemption

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Did it?

According to wikipedia, yes.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Shawshank Redemption
Goodfellas
A Clockwork Orange

 

[Addendum]

Did it?

Yes.

Rocky won in 1976, beating out All the President's Men, Bound for Glory, Network and Taxi Driver

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Pfff....The Shawshank Redemption....

Incorrect. Rocky won. Network won best screenplay though.
