Oliver completely deserved Best Picture it was a universal experience that didn't go for special effects that help to age a film and thus the film is still as strong today as it was then. A terrific movie musical experience
In 1969 at the age of 13 i went with a school pal to see this movie. At the intermission
(For those of you that can't remember this was a break in the film to allow you go to the foyer
and top up on popcorn & whatever else you fancied) So off i went to the foyer and got 2 large ice creams. I got such a shock when i put my hand into my pocket and found that someone had snatched the only £1 note that i had in my pocket. Great memories of Oliver..
i loved this movie. i was surprised to hear it won best picture. but i can see why. to make it better i think they should have added as long as he needs me (reprise), and my name, that would make it ten times more epic and amazing than it already is. i am thinking this is a wtf oscar win like crash and hurt locker and maybe even chicago. but it is amazing both on stage and on the big screen.
I love this film im 15 going to be 16 this and I have the film still ...when I was in primary school we had to do a play and I knew everyones line and they could only hear me
I saw it in the theater-- it is a great film by any standards- I believe it is on the registry of greatest films as preserved by the Library of Congress or the American Film Institute!
This is what I watched over and over on DVD as a child before I got into Harry Potter. I knew every single song by heart and I was OBSESSED with Jack Wild! I wanted to go back in time and steal him!!! Funny how it kind of set me up to love Harry Potter, since HP draws so much from depictions of Dickensian London. I LOVE YOU JACK WILD!!!
i can not survive without watching this movie at least twice a day lately. i think tim burton would do a fantastic job of this movie! i love it more than my own life!!!
@nerfballs2000 no you see 2001 if you look up what it is about i piss alover any movie made not saying oliver is bad shit i am bill sykes in my musical i love the play and movie
@mcrenren Well I was being sarcastic in my comment, but sarcasm doesn't translate on the internet. Oliver isn't a bad movie, but definitely a WTF Oscar moment. It stands with Kramer vs. Kramer, Ordinary People and Dances with Wolves, as lesser films winning acclaim over greater films.
Once when I was nine I was sick off school and I watched this 5 times in a row. It's an absolute classic. No-one could ever make a remake half as good. It never gets old : )
I think Oliver! deserved the Best Picture Oscar. Although 2001: A Space Odyssey was really good in some areas, Oliver! was really good overall. But it is hard to compare a musical to a Science Fiction film.
awesome! i usually DESPISE musicals. I know the kid who shouted "These sausages are moldy!" his name is Clive Moss, he looks super different now. he's really funny.
@showstartsatdusk It’s not even close to being the best musical film of the 1960s. How about “The Sound of Music”? That has much better songs. Or “West Side Story”? Unlike “Oliver!”, there’s an attempt to move away from the inherent fluffiness of the genre- and it also has much better songs.
@MrDaiseymay “The Sound of Music” does have MUCH better songs. Off the top of my head: “The Sound of Music”, “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?”, “My Favorite Things”, “Do-Re-Mi”, “Edelweiss”, and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain”. Name me a song from “Oliver!” that compares. “West Side Story” is not realistic, but it does make an effort to deal with street gangs. By comparison “Oliver!” looks like “Mary Poppins”. Besides, it also has much better choreography, and “America” is a pretty cool song.
This film is a classic, with the stars involved and Carol Reed at the helm, no wonder.
