The English Patient.

Chungking Express...oops...wishful thinking.

I mean Secrets And Lies.

The people (non board members of course) who complained bitterly about The English Patient being boring etc. - even on Seinfeld as I recall - did not see it on it's opening weekend. It was a deserved BP winner. Very few movies live up the their own hype.

The English Patient, though I would have chosen Branagh's half-way Great verbatim production of Hamlet.

Four unspeakable pieces of crap, and one smug, mean-spirited, overrated but mildly amusing little movie. So Fargo gets my vote.

What a dispiriting Oscar year this was . . .

Glad to see no one has yet chosen that dreck that is Jerry Maguire.

Count me in as a 'Fargo' fanatic. 'The English Patient' is an unfairly underrated Best Picture winner.

'96 was really quite a strong year. 'Breaking the Waves', 'Chungking Express', 'Paradise Lost: The Child Murders of Robin Hood Hills', 'Lone Star', and of course 'Fargo'.

Out of these: Fargo.

Mine: Kenneth Branagh's version of Hamlet.

Fargo is a third addition to my list of 90's "masterpieces" that I just don't get.

Secrets & Lies was my favorite.

I swear I love you...

I've never understood the fascination with Fargo. I thought it was a good film with clever dialogue and some terrific performances but the film just left me cold and unconcerned.

Fargo, though Secrets & Lies is good too.

Fargo, no contest. Best film of the 90s.
