worst film to win an oscar

The English Patient
American Beauty
Chicago

Thank you, for calling out that god-awful American Beauty. So this is what society deems as must-see watching. I couldn't even begin to care for a single character on that screen... hell, I flat out hated them. Yes the performances were good, but this is not a movie that should have ever been made... just on the themes of the movie alone. Every character in that film pretty much represented everything bad about real life (maybe that was the point)... something I don't need to relive for two hours in a theatre when I can get it on CNN.

This is the same reason I won't watch any of Michael Moore's films, either. Capitalizing on problems and politics of the world... complete and utter bullshit.

Forrest Gump! Anyone who saw Shawshank's Redemption KNOWS Forrest Gump's FX did NOT make it a better movie!

LOL! I agree!

Gladiator. Mundain ripoff of Sparticus.

Titanic is such a load of c@#$. Leo is overrated, his talent's nil.
And please, if any movie deserved an Oscar. Lord of the Rings did.

titanic!!!!!

but i don't know why someone said 'american beauty'... i like this film much.

Silence of the Lambs.Pretty sad when a horror movie wins an oscar. 😘

Thriller, not horror.

monster was overated and shouldnt have won an oscar.(the film didnt but cherlize did for that crap movie).

Definatly Lord of the Rings Movie....

Especially the 3rd one, it wasn't even that good but it won 11 awards!!?!!

if i could agree anymore i would pass out ^^^^^^

The Lord of the Rings is most likeley the movies most deserving oscars. But hey some people just dont like fantasy and I respect their opinions but I really love the LOTR movies.

Gladiator, Chicago, Titanic.

silence of the lambs, anthony hopkins is the biggest f*cking ham

Pointless thread, since everyone's opinion is going to differ.

Besides, Academy Awards are as worthless as the people who issue them.

Actually recieving that awrd makes ones salary double and triple when signing contracts.

The original gladiator was made before the spartacus movie 😑 but historically and story wise they are totally different 😕 that movie in my mind deserved every award it recieved.

Titanic did not deserve the awards at all... it was crap.

Silence of the Lambs deserves it because the level of acting involved made it deserving... for God's sake there are countless allusions to this movie it defined scary during its time.

ROTK did not deserve best picture or best special effects at all. It was the worst one out of the whole trilogy, the first two deserved it more. The only reason it got it was the panel wanted to honor the trilogy and knew that the first two deserved more awards than they got.

god, i dont even know barely any of the movies that won oscars..

lord of the rings is the most overated pile ever. the judges are nothin but lotr fanboys

well i doubt a DBZ movie would be winning an oscar 🙂
