Titanic is fun but you are not missing much. Schindler’s List is a must watch film.
For me it’s classic horror films like Halloween.

Rewatched The Social Network last night. Eisenberg and the movie not winning Oscars vs The Kings Speech looks bad 10 years later.

It’s top 3 Oscar snubs all time. Who has even thought of kings speech since that year.
If that is one snub, and a second one imo would be Crash winning over Brokeback. What rounds out your top 3?
ETA: I forgot that Forrest Gump beat Shawshank and Pulp Fiction. Lol

Driving Miss Daisy won best picture in a year Do The Right Thing wasn’t even nominated.
That sounds bad, but I’ve never seen Driving Miss Daisy, so can’t fully judge how bad a snub it was.
It’s not worth seeing.
In general the Oscars do a terrible job of best picture if the measure is cultural longevity.

Even worse than Green Book over Blackkklansman.
Green Book turned out to be a movie I enjoyed a fair bit, but it was so cringeingly oscar-baity in parts that I had to look away in shame. It certainly didnt deserve the nod over Blackkklansman
Required viewing imo. Probably one of the most impactful scenes I can remember.

That opening scene when he spreads his money to make himself seen as a man of influence within a single night. Masterful. Feeling in awe at his ability to work the room is in part why we feel grateful for his sacrifice. He could very easily have taken a different path.

I’m such a sucker for eloquent misanthropic cynicism

Biggest Oscar snub is The LEGO Movie not even being nominated for best animated movie. Come at me.

I’m a human being, and I won’t compete for the right to be treated decently.
Didn’t know Kaufman was a filthy lib. Should have guessed from his extreme self loathing

LOL Green Book, but it was Roma that got fucked over, not Blackkklansman.
I was underwhelmed by Black KKKlansman.

It is lesser Spike Lee for sure.
I have “Inside Man” as his best film. Film has a lot of subtext on top of being the goat bank heist film.
