    Zkribbler, seriously? THat's a shame.. a damn shame. Then again, that tells us more about the demography of the voters. Young, uncivilized (American) and poor (doesn't know art).

      But that's Oscar for you... it's not about good movies.

        Wezil, that's exactly what I mean!! What the hell? Dances with wolves is OK, but not even as... OK on they plus side, on the next to the good ones. It's not horrible, I don't regret seeing it, but... that's about it .

        Then again, go back to that time, Kevin Costner was _overrated_. As an actor, yes, you can say that. He was not that good. I mean... compare the acting job to the ones from the Goodfellas, of course it was about directing but... Dances with wolves? helllls no!

        I mean a person who watches that movie 20 times and Goodfellas only once, that person is someone I'm most likely not going to be friends with. Why? Not because he doesn't like the same kind of movies, but because he is like a boring ***** with no taste. And Goodfellas is an easy movie to like too. It doesn't require anything for you to like it.

          That list reads kinda like someone was just randomly picking out DVDs from their collection.

                Hey, it could be much worse. At least I don't see Patch Adams on that list. Shawshank was probably the best of the ten on that list, FWIW. Well, I haven't seen Schindler's List, but I tend to classify Holocaust movies under "depressing" rather than "inspiring." Which is why I didn't see it.

                    Hueig, I guess so, but I throw my veto on Star Wars. It's a bit 50/50... I don't have it on my collection, so I'm not defending myself here . Defending it as a classic trilogy, like LOTR. But NOT like Indiana Jones.

                              Erin Brockovich is an interesting true story. Not much of a movie though, compared to the rest.

                                Revenge of the Nerds, any movie that ends with "We are the Champions" gets my vote

                                And Goodfellas is an easy movie to like too. It doesn't require anything for you to like it.
