WORST of the Best Picture Oscar Noms (Only the '90s Edition)

dude Cider House RULES

i definitely heard the term before the green mile came out. i think s.lee made it more popular.

What's the necessary length of time for critical distance on these things? Kinda antsy for the 00s version for whatever reason, even though I've probably seen the fewest films for that of any decade since the 60s.

Here's the Lord Sotosyn edition.

I won't defend anything on your shit list, but A Few Good Men and Scent of a Woman are two I don't mind, almost certainly owing to the fact that I was 14 when they came out and they looked and talked like real grown-up films that made me feel smart for enjoying them. Had they been released even five years later, I don't know that I would have even seen them, let alone liked them. As it stands, I still prefer either to Apollo 13 and Titanic.

I had to get pretty deep into the list (L.A. Confidential, of which I only have very vague memories) before I found a movie I'd want to watch again.

Four Weddings and a Funeral is listed twice (a guilty pleasure of mine to be honest) and Scent of a Woman isn’t that bad. Shakespeare in Love, however, is war crime worthy.

wtf Apollo 13 is great

smdh @ you Ron Howard haters

Shakespeare In Love is a fine, frothy romcom with Stoppard jokes in

Sitting in a theatre as a bunch of adults crack up over the piss-in-space scene in Apollo 13 is one of the most mortified I've ever felt during a movie.

lol -- like I wrote on Facebook, that typo might be Freudian: I don't know what to think about that film.

It's definitely one of the two non-heinous theatrical films by Richard Curtis.

Do you force yourself to watch all of them? I haven't done that to myself with The Green Mile yet (but I plan to watch the imdb top 250 this year), and a few minutes of Awakenings on TV were enough for me.

If we're judging on the basis of # of times watched and how frequently I feel the urge to revisit, The Fugitive is pretty much the hands-down winner of this lot for me. It's joined the Robocop/Dazed & Confused pantheon of 'movies I am never not in the mood to watch'.

Oh wait, this is a thread for the worst, how do I salvage my mistake...

The Fugitive ya right more like The F-U-gitive

Robocop: Dazed & Confused.

I have only had 4 beers, I am not deterred from climbing MoonTower

xpost I don't know why I did a backslash instead of a comma. But I'm pretty sure that hypothetical movie mashup is in fact The Entertainment as featured in the novel Infinite Jest (i.e. I would watch it until I was dead from entertainment).

The Piano is pretentious twaddle. The Insider is fake grittiness.
