My bad. Dont know how I got thst from your post. Maybe it was someone else. I dont know. I kind of suck lately1to392831weretaken said:
I was talking about Shawshank in the above post, but okay. Just saying there's really nothing to nitpick from multiple movies this year. Several are pretty much perfect.chuck said:
Legends of the fall would win if the criteria was a count of pretty poses by the lead actor. Add the score and scenery and subtract everything else and you have your clear winner.1to392831weretaken said:
It's flawless. The score alone is worth Best Picture. I think that's the problem with this bracket: More than one movie that are flawless, so it's just going to come down to which one is going to tug the right strings for each viewer just a little more. Naturally, being raped in prison is going to resonate most often at HCH.YellowSnow said:I thought Shawshank had a chance to win this year. Did not quite expect this margin.

Shawshank RedemptionAndy Dufresne, the man who crawled through 500 yards of shit.
Agree with @dnc about Dumb and Dumber. Literally any girl, big or small, who can quote dumb and dumber increases 1 whole spot on the hot meter for me.
Some polls to consider:
Best line from Dumb & Dumber, and Best line from Forrest Gump. My dark, dark horse is "Dear God, make be a bird, so I can fly far far away. (repeat)"

Legends of The Fall
Dumb and Dumber is my wife's favorite movie. I guess it hit well with her group of friends when it came out, so it was one of those things the girls would get together and watch it all the time.huskyhooligan said:Andy Dufresne, the man who crawled through 500 yards of shit.

As for Forrest Gump, something not very commonly appreciated is that Jenny may be the biggest villain in movie history. From the point in the movie where she's first shown as an adult to the closing credits, she is 100% evil. Sometimes I wonder if this was intentional or if the writers/producers this in mind when they were making the movie. -
Quiz Show

Shawshank RedemptionIn my opinion, this is the greatest movie ever made.
However, If anybody selected Pulp Fiction, Forest Gump, or Quiz Show, I wouldn't be upset. As each of these movies could win most years. Dumb and Dumber might be the greatest guilty pleasure movie of all-time.
