Let's have a thread about films that were considered outstanding future classics when they were released, but are completely disregarded and irrelevant today.
2019... I am forgotten
Joshua Diaz
Ryder Ross
This won 9 oscars in 1996, including best picture and best director.
Jaxson Parker
This won six oscars in 1998, including best picture and catapulted the hopelessly inept John Madden from a string of failed low budget romance films into a string of catastrophically failed high budget oscar bait dramas.
Charles Robinson
The Coal Miners Daughter
The Colour of Money
Asher Ross
my blood boils every time i see the english patient listed on "wurst oscar winners" lists. it's a wonderful film and i think a lot of people on Yea Forums would love it, the desert scenes are beautiful and the two leads are fantastic
Mason Ward
That's great, but it won best picture and best director while going up against fargo, mission impossible, hamlet, crash, trainspotting etc.
Isaac Taylor
Anthony Hernandez
Fuck this was boring af
Jonathan Thompson
Every Oscar winner since 2008
Brody Clark
>The biggest Oscar bait
>produced by Harvey
I think your blood boils for all the wrong reasons pleb
Connor Clark
Pleb
Samuel Nelson
I mean, Fargo won the award for best screenplay that year. It's not particularly surprising that the grand epic won over a dark, black comedy from the Coens.
funny scene, it has definitely contributed to the populace's opinion of the english patient in a negative way
as far as sappy, big budget oscar bait goes i think it is one of the best. i realize that some people may find it melodramatic, but having read the book first i was very pleasantly surprised by the adaptation
Nolan Foster
the cucking was probably too close to home
John Gomez
One of my favorites. I record it every time it comes on TCM
Jonathan Phillips
Goop had to watch Harvey take a shower and masturbate to get nominated
Noah Cruz
This was good, but not 9 Oscar good.
Ryder Long
>It's not particularly surprising that the grand epic won over a dark, black comedy from the Coens.
You're thinking of it from the perspective of what really wins Oscars, not what is actually the best film of the year like other user. Which reveals the general faggotry of the Academy, and why we should stop talking about them right now.
Colton Phillips
It's a terrible film
Carson Thomas
>tfw no Honey wife
Jayden Ramirez
Good movie. Taylor was fucking phenomenal in it.
I don't ever see pic related talked about
Benjamin Scott
90s goop was so cute
Landon Ramirez
Probably because Coppola made it between Godfather 1 and 2 and Apocalypse Now. Hard competition
Justin Rogers
This won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Actor, in the year Inception, The Fighter, The Social Network, True Grit and Black Swan came out.
What a shitshow.
Carter Thomas
It was intolerable womanshit, not even the promise of a bath scene stopped me from turning that clit-rub-fest off.
Eli Jenkins
Zachary Perry
It seems decent for it's time but doesn't hold up, Enemy of the State is its rightful successor and less defeatist.
Leo Lewis
In 1968 this film became one of the highest earning musical comedies of all time and netted Barbara Streisand a best actress award in her first ever film appearance. It also holds a 93% rating on rotten tomatoes.
Have you ever heard of this film?
Elijah Moore
this, it’s a beautiful film
Bentley Rodriguez
>Maybe, Virginia, the real kids were the friends we made long the way
Nathaniel Wood
I get the tragic romance part in Africa, specially the sand storm scene, but the Juliette Binoche parts in Italy should have been seriously trimmed
Justin Bennett
its not forgotten shit is a classic
Lucas Jones
still holds up
Alexander Bennett
>fargo
that needed a few years for its greatness to fully be understood. at the time it was another ultra violent tarantinoish crime thing
>crash
muh racism is bad
>trainspotting
that was for gen X teens. a fad at the time. no way geezers would award that.
>m:i
its a mindfuck in retrospect but at the time no one got it or liked it
>hamlet
you got an argument here but shakespeare is hard to get excited about
basically it will always be a kings speech, green book, middlebrow thing due to the edgy masterpieces splitting the vote and scaring off old people
Levi Nelson
1996 crash was the kronenberg film about people who fuck corpses.
Elijah Ward
I liked it, but I have not seen the ones you mentioned so I can't dispute you.
Cooper Miller
It was about people turned on by car accidents, not corpse fucking.
Evan Wilson
Posting Best Picture winners is practically cheating.
Gabriel Morris
What the fuck? The Conversation is a great film, one of the best from the 70s.
