Hmm, that's fairly pathetic, isn't it. I guess it's clear that I'm not a fan of A) old movies; B) Movies about Important Social Issues; or C) Movie about Real People Dealing with Real Life Situations. To be honest, the kinds of films I like rarely get nominated for Best Picture Oscars, much less win them.
