Shakespeare in Love and Million Dollar Baby. To be honest, this is the weakest decade in terms of quality.

Damien, I know you liked Chicago and Bill is your dear friend but I'm actually surprised you picked it over Million Dollar Baby (a far superior film in my view and EASILY the best in this line-up). I distinctly remember you saying after Baby's win that "Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby is the best Best Picture winner since Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven." Has something happened to alter your opinion of the film? Repeat viewings didn't hold up?
Incidentally I agree, MDB IS the best Best Picture winner since Unforgiven.
Nik, I've watched Million Dollar Baby a couple times on cable recently. It remains a very fine picture, but subsequent viewings point out how sentimental it is (particularly Morgan Freeman's narration) and the scene with Swank's family is as heavy-handed and awful as anything in the same writer's Crash.
Chicago on the other hand remains dazzling every time I see it.

wow - it wasn't until i saw them all together just now that i realized what, with very little qualification needed, a truly crappy bunch they make.

MDB. Absolutely no contest.

I think Shakespeare in Love, Chicago, and The Return of the King are all terrific movie-movie entertainments, and Million Dollar Baby is wrenching, but I voted for American Beauty, despite knowing that I'll probably get beat up for that.

American Beauty followed by Return of the King and Million Dollar Baby. The rest are mediocre to terrible.

Shakespeare in Love and Chicago are the best of this lineup.

Lord of the Rings, with Million Dollar Baby a very close second.

There seems to be a demand for this. I’m including the "best winner" poll, too, not just the "worst winner", in case somebody wants to vote for Million Dollar Baby
