re: Biggest screw job for Best Picture Oscar

I'm prepared to get shite for this, but Titanic beating Good Will Hunting. To this day, I still have no idea why that movie is worshipped the way it is- yes the special effects are good, yes the story gets women all wet, but there is absolutely no way it's a better overall movie than Good Will Hunting.

not gonna get shite from me, i'll tell you that.

To me Good Will Hunting is in my top two favorite movies ever, and for Titanic to win over that movie is ridiculous imo.

Titanic was a good movie that was bigger than it should have been. It was a cultural phenomenon but not a great film. GWH was a great film (at least in my mind) and was deserving of much more respect.

I agree that Titanic shouldn't have gotten the Oscar, but I think L.A. Confidential is the movie that should have.
