I'd personally choose 'L.A. Confidential' OR 'Jackie Brown'.

Jackie Brown wasn't moninated for best picture though stick out tongue

I also think E.T should have won Best Picture in.. '83. Instead if Gandhi

I prefer Brokeback Mountain over Crash for the 2005 Oscar Best Picture.

Same.

Crash just seemed so simplistic and had only a couple powerful scenes.
(in my opinion)

Man, there's so much Gladiator hate on this forum.

It's one of my favorite films.

And the winner is...

I went back and looked at the history of the Academy Awards, looked at who was nominated, and who won. I could argue with many of the choices, but I limited my self to only those years when I think they got it REALLY WRONG.

1937- The Life of Emile Zola. Over Captains Courageous? A generic bio pic over one of the great screen adventures? Nope.

38- You Can't Take it With You. Should have gone to Robin Hood.

52- The Greatest Show on Earth. Should have gone to the charming and wonderfully filmed The Quiet Man.

64- My Fair Lady... over Doctor Strangelove? One of the WORST calls ever (and that's saying something for the Oscars).

77- Annie Hall- over Star Wars. Annie Hall was a great movie, but Star Wars transformed the industry (not always for the good, I'll admit) and was a revolution in special effects. Shoulda gone to 'Wars.

79- Kramer vs Kramer, a low key movie that today would debut on the Lifetime network, over Apocalypse Now? Bad, bad call.

80- Ordinary People, over Raging Bull? Jesus, a two year in a row crap-a-thon.

85- Out of Africa. Should have gone to Witness.

90- Dances with Wolves (a good movie) over Goodfellas? Really? Why does the Academy hate Scorsese?

96- The English Patient- an overrated yawn fest. Should have gone to either Fargo, or Jerry Maguire.

98- Shakespeare in Love. It was ok- nicely filmed, witty, well cast... but over Savining Private Ryan? No.

2005- Crash. Kinda overrated. Brokeback or Munich were better.

This year, I'd go with either No Country for Old Men, or There Will be Blood- the best of the lot.

I was really disappointed when Crash beat Brokeback Mountain.

So was I.

I thought Crash was a piece of crap but I loved Brokeback Mountian or Munich.

I also wished Side Ways should have gotten the Best Picture Oscar in 2004 instead of Clint Eastwood's Million Doller Baby which was one of the worst flims I have seen in my life time.

I didn't find either particulary amazing, especially for winning, I can't even remember what else was up for Best Film that year...

Good Night and Good Luck, Capote, and Munich. I personally thought Good Night and Munich were better than Crash and Brokeback Mountain.
