Because of Seinfeld, I have never seen the English Patient.
Probably Shakespeare in Love for me. I dont even think it was the best movie of that year.

Birdman
I can't believe there are people who like this movie.

Didn't like the protagonists in The English Patient... wished them all to die... but it at least had some production value.
"Rain Man" and "Kramer vs. Kramer" were entirely unworthy as "Best Picture". Those were little more than Lifetime movie channel features.

Shakespeare in Love, hands down and then considering it beat such a great movie like Saving Private Ryan.

"Shakespeare in Love" was excellent. "Saving Private Ryan" was great visually but hardly more than a series of propagandist special effects scenes. The Academy got it right that year.

Rain Man (1989) other nominees that year : Dangerous Liaisons, Working Girl, The Accidental Tourist , Mississippi Burning
Kramer vs Kramer (1979) other nominees that year: All That Jazz, Apocalypse Now, Breaking Away, Norma Rae
I don't have a problem with either of those winning given the competition

Here I was taking you seriously and then you have to rex up the thread

I sort of agree with you Rex. SiL is a good film. People don't like it because it beat out Ryan, but it's a very good movie.
Crash is an abortion.

Apocalypse Now is so much better than Kramer vs. Kramer it ain't even funny.

I agree with him in one aspect. Normandy was maybe the best filmmaking I've ever seen, but the rest of the movie was 2 hours of meh.
Plus, it was funny seeing Spielberg getting punked IMO. Don't get me wrong--he's one of the 3 best directors of the last 50 years. But after Shindler's List he acted like he was King of Hollywood. His ego got out of control and this knocked him off his pedestal.

But I wouldn't call Kramer vs. Kramer a bad movie. And Apocalypse Now wasn't going to win because of the notorious and well-publicized baggage that came with the movie.
And I meant this thread not as a "which movie kept a much better movie from winning" thread but instead as a "which movie is the most unwatchable movie" thread.

I disagree completely. I think the movie had a couple cheesy nostalgic scenes (for some), but there are phenomenal acting performances and riveting moments throughout the entire film. And I'm far from one to get drawn in by thoughtless patriotic movies

I'm surprised no one has mentioned "A Man for All Seasons"... most people find it terribly boring.

Easy for me. The English Patient. HATED it. Too long and I love epics. Boring love story. Didn't care about the characters.
The fact that it somehow beat a great movie like Fargo only makes it worse.

12 Years a Slave is pretty overrated

Anything that doesn't show America as some evil piece of shite country I think you consider it propaganda.
