I’m going to enjoy telling people the Harry Potter farting corpse guys have two Oscars, and then refusing to explain further.

Idk if a human could pull this off by themselves, it doesn’t look like there’s mushroom for error.

More like, because the harassment comes from somebody who has no power over you, like a random viewer whom you can block, instead of your boss.

Imagine streaming on twitch because there’s less harassment.

This comment stuck in my mind even all these years later.

I think that’s a failing of all musicals brought to the big screen, because just when the good actors are about to do some serious acting and actually engage you emotionally, as they would in any other film, they have to break into song, ruining the whole illusion. It works in the theater (with a good enough musical,…

While it’s one of John Ford’s better films, it ain’t Citizen Kane. In fact, at this point, Valley is most memorable for being the answer to the trivia question, “Which film beat Citizen Kane at the 1942 Oscars?”

How Green is one of the best BP winners ever. Full stop.

I’ll go one further - How Green is a masterpiece and one of the best movies ever to win the Best Picture Oscar (the fact that it beat Kane is beside the point).

Indeed. Many Oscar best winner movies are nice, charming movies even if they aren’t really “the best” of their year. More recently, Shakespeare in Love winning over Saving Private Ryan, for example. It was a very charming movie and Paltrow was cute in it and hadn’t gotten into her Goop pseudoscience yet. But it isn’t…

Besides the issues with it starring Kevin Spacey, I think we just have less patience with stories of upper-class white guys who are having a mid-life crisis these days.

And I think people miss out.  Why can’t you love them both?  The cinemtography and acting in HGWMV is exquisite.  It’s a beautiful film all its own, and to call it one of the worst Best Picture winners is a grave disservice.  

Just because HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY isn’t CITIZEN KANE doesn’t mean it belongs on a “worst” list. It’s a very charming movie!

I’ve never seen any of these. 

OK hold up - I love Saving Private Ryan and it deserved BP. But Shakespeare in Love is a GREAT flick. It’s a “they don’t make em like they used to” movie: it’s funny, well-written, well-acted, beautifully shot, and smart but crowd-pleasing. It’s so good that even Ben Affleck’s good in it! It’s also weird to single out…

Absolutely. “CODA was lovely! Also, one of the 15 Worst Best Picture winners of all time!”

You forgot Ordinary People, Chariots of Fire, A Beautiful Mind, Chicago, Kramer vs. Kramer, and Rain Man.

Get the fuck outta here with How Green Was My Valley. One of the best Best Picture winners ever. The fact that it beat Kane is irrelevant. It’s a masterpiece.

The title of this slideshow doesn’t seem to jibe with the content, as many of the “15 Worst Best Picture Winners of All Time” listed are perfectly good, even great movies, as the writers freely attest. Maybe something more like “the 15 least deserving best picture winners”? Or just framing the list in terms of the…

I’d call this a partial list of the worst opinions of all time.
