Movies That Should Have Won Oscars
"2000 Winner: Gladiator. 'Gladiator' was good, but not the best. Of the 5 nominees, 'Tiger' was by far the strongest candidate. Just a beautiful film. Not a fan of martial arts movies? See this!"
"1999 Winner: American Beauty. I LOVED 'American Beauty', but THIS was the movie of the year. Somewhat dismissed as a popcorn film, name a movie that was MORE talked about that year. Excellent."
"1998 Winner: Shakespeare In Love. 'Shakespeare' was excellent, but this was the biggest upset in recent years. 'Ryan' is the pinnacle of moviemaking."
"1997 Winner: Titanic. I think 'Titanic' is a masterpiece, but this was the best film of '97. Excellent work all around. This is the movie Russell Crowe should have won Best Actor for."
"1996 Winner: The English Patient. 'Patient' is good, but not great. 'Fargo' IS a great film. Dark, funny and extremely well acted."
"1995 Winner: Braveheart. For me, 'Braveheart' was just OK. Of the nominees, 'Sense' was the best film. Beautifully shot, written and acted."
"1994 Winner: Forrest Gump. I thought 'Gump' was great, but 'Shawshank' is a classic. In my opinion, one of the best films ever made."
"1993 Winner: Schindler's List. Well, they got it right this year. A movie you MUST see, though you may not want to see it again. Wrenching, heartbreaking and necessary."
"1992 Winner: Unforgiven. 'Unforgiven' is Clint's masterpiece, but 'Crying Game' was the most talked about and the best overall film of that year. Excellent."
"1991 Winner: The Silence Of The Lambs. Another year they got it right. Absolutely terrific. Won the top 5 Oscars and deservedly so."
