One of these days, looking back, "A Most Violent Year" will be on this list.

When you think of the legitimacy of the Oscars, just remember this. Alfred Hitchcock, yes Alfred Hitchcock, never won a competitive Oscar. Neither did Cary Grant (and gary cooper won several to the academy\’s eternal shame). Charlie Chaplin won only one and that is for Best Score for Limelight, not best actor, best director, best screenplay. My point. The Oscars have no legitimacy.

"It’s borderline unthinkable to imagine a romantic comedy up for Best Picture now"

Midnight in Paris was nominated for a best picture Oscar in 2012.

You\’re not wrong on any of these titles, but you are wrong about match point. It\’s woodys best film. Even he agrees. So 😛

this is a fantastic list, one that will seriously lengthen my Netflix queue (if Netflix deigns to offer many of these). But "The Searchers"??? It is a terrible movie, with predictable, wooden performance by John Wayne ( who is incapable of acting), a story that just drags on and on, and no redeeming subtleties. I don\’t understand why so many people put it on their "top" lists, it\’s a lousy movie.

"The Big Sleep". AMPAS was really criminal on his neglect to Hawks.

Paths of Glory was 1957, not 1958. It lost to Bridge on the River Kwai, not Gigi. Also I would not call Match Point a "middling affair" from Allen as it\’s one of his best. This is still a fantastic list though.

I disagree. I think the Oscars do a decent job at cutting through the junk that Hollywood puts out and they generally choose movies that are well done. You can\’t please everyone. Stanley Kubrick is my favorite director of all time but it doesn\’t surprise me that The Shining wasn\’t nominated. It\’s a tremendous work of art but it also pushed the limits of what was considered acceptable at that time. True artists push boundaries, so much sometimes that it polarizes the public. Freaks in 1932 was a complete flop and some of the most extreme content ever shown on a movie screen. Just because we consider it a classic now 80 years later doesn\’t mean the Oscars overlooked one that should have been nominated in the context of the time period they were in.

What other Woody Allen film are you confusing \’Match Point\’ with? Far from "middling fare." I do agree that \’Stradust Memories\’ is a very good Woody movie.

i always thought \’Perfume the story of a murderer\’ should\’ve gotten the best adopted screen play award.. but nobody talks about it.. makes me sad

Do The Right Thing and Boogie Nights are two that never got an Oscar nod but should have. As should have Malcolm X (the Academy seems to have a Spike Lee problem), Blue Velvet, Raising Arizona, Seven, Dark City, Fight Club, Magnolia, Almost Famous, Mulholland Drive and that\’s just for recent years. Mickey Rourke should have gotten a nod for best actor for Sin City. And that doesn\’t count the numerous foreign films overlooked.

Comedies! Even YOU don\’t give them enough credit. Bowfinger. ANYTHING by Monty Python. Bedazzled. Airplane. Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Shaun of the Dead. The Jerk.
