Word. Choosing Annie Hall over Star Wars was one of the few times the Oscars showed good taste.

Along with 1976 (All the President's Men, Network, Rocky and Taxi Driver).rain Bard wrote:Big Magilla wrote:1982 has four films on the list, none of which won the Oscar for best pciture: E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, Tootsie, Sophie's Choice and Blade Runner.
Didn't notice that. Okay, so 1969 and 1982 are now tied for the most films on the AFI 100.
Should make the "ageing geeks" feel validated.

And it's not just a matter of six fewer Oscar winners. There have been nine additional Best Picture winners since the previous special. (78 vs. 69.) Percentage-wise, that works out to 48% of Best Picture winners on the list last time. This time, it's only 35%.
Technically, you can count Fellowship of the Ring as the position for RotK. Because we all know it's likely the voters just picked one flm of the trilogy to represent the entirety of the trilogy.
I don't think so. I still believe RotK was better. However, when people recognize trilogies, they often pick the first film to represent the entire body of work. It's logical. Many people grab onto the first title in a list because psychologically, they see it as the first one, select it and immediately remove the others from consideration.Mister Tee wrote:Actually, I'd meant to comment that I was pleasantly surprised Fellowship was the film voters went for. I think it's easily the best of the three films, but that wasn't what we heard in '03: all kinds of people were pushing the notion Return of the King was not just the culmination, but the best of the trilogy. Was that just cover for the big King vote?
