ONTD Original - Best Picture Deservers Since 1987

[zoaster_toaster]

Inspired by "ONTD Decides Best Picture of the 2000s", OP has looked back on their life and wondered, "what were the best movies for every year they were alive?" Through extensive Wikipedia-searching for each year's nominees and "films of [insert year here]", OP has come up with 33 years of movies that should've gotten or deserved its Best Picture

Pretty sure Silence of the Lambs women Best Picture. It’s considered the first horror/psychological thriller to win

[sarahvma]

From what I can tell, this list includes points where OP agrees with the pick.

[beysactingcoach]

Oh OP wrote “should’ve won” implying otherwise but I see picked actual winners were picked

[sarahvma]

I could be wrong tbh, but since it ended with Parasite that's what I assumed.

Re: Emma Thompson and Sense & Sensibility -- it's true. That she somehow made both of those relationships work in the end is a miracle.

I love Sense & Sensibility so much. It's my rainy day movie. Emma worked magic with that screenplay.

I agree about Schindler's List, Titanic, Chicago, and Parasite. I could go whatever with the rest lol.

who framed roger rabbit is honestly one of the greatest movies of all time, i quote it all the time and i consider the reveal one of the most horrifying movie moments ever. and i love horror movies, but none come close to creeping me out as much as THAT

ia 100%!! that and the shoe in the acid were traumatizing tbh lol

that movie is such a clever work of art start to finish. I legit can't believe it's by Disney, even in the good era of disney

[jellycar]

omg the shoe scene is so upsetting!

yeah same! i only know it’s disney because my parents have so many photos of them with props from the set at disneyworld lol

the jessica rabbit scene...watching that as a child i think my jaw nearly dislocated itself
bob hoskins reminds me of my dad too so i always love watching it

IDG the newfound hate for Chicago just bc the director also made Cats and Les Mis.

Also Grand Budapest Hotel is the only Wes Anderson movie I like.

[sarahvma]

Rob Marshall directed Chicago.

[sandstorm]

why the FUCK did I think this was Tom Hooper lmao
also Bing helpfully told me that Rob Marshall is the same height as Ryan Coogler!

I loved Into the Woods and Nine

[sarahvma]

They're both very generic white men with no real signature style?

Tom Hooper is definitely on his way out unless he manages to direct something good in the next five years, though.
