"And the Oscar goes to" - Film Room Top 5 list of worst Best Picture contenders-RESULTS ARE IN

[NobodyReally]

Here we go.

I love it. I know it's sap, and exploits the trope of the mild retarded man who has a heart of gold and perseveres unwittingly in the face of extraordinary odds, but at the end of the day it's executed well and touches me.

 

[StraxStrax]

Can't we just do the worst of the ones that actually won? There's a ton of nominations to go through.

thatd be better, agreed

Yeah all the work, looking at a list of 87 movies is so much easier then looking at list of 300 - 350 movies.

:seanw:

 

[TheGodling]

I don't know any male that would kick back on a friday night and watch Babe by themselves. Would you?

You know who.

:seanw:

yeah, it is plus you're more likely to get agreements and people will be like yeah that sucked

stuff that actually won will probably bring up more discussion and fukkery, but its your thread so imma let you cook

That shyt was way too pretentious for me. Should have shown the realer side to being retarded in America...

I get your point but so far Babe has been called a chick flick, we learned that at least 3 people here have seen Dr. Dolittle and Forrest Gump talk is in play so fukkery has started

Cook I shall tho

 

[StraxStrax]

Ain't Witness the movie where Ford goes undercover with the Amish or something? For some reason they play that movie on tv here like every six months but I never bothered to watch it. I might watch it of the strength of @StraxStrax disliking it so much.

That's the thread I wanted to do around Oscar time. Buzzfeed has a list we can do that later

In what twisted world is Babe a chick flick?
I guess Free Willy and The Muppet Movie are chick flicks too.

Leave Willy out of this breh.

 

[Uncle_Ruckus]

I swear I'm getting Babe mixed up with Charlotte's Web.

Which one was about the little girl and her pig again?

 

[HHR]

1. Dr. Doolittle
2. Crash
3. E.T.
4. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
5. As Good as It Gets

What the fukk? That's probably the best film of '82. It's definitely better than Ghandi.

Charlotte's Web
