Alternate Best Picture Winners -- 1925-2008

These are my personal choices for what should have won, from the Golden Age of cinema (1925) to the latest Academy Awards presentation. The montage is set to "The End" from the soundtrack to "Shakespeare in Love."

1988- grave of fireflies? wtf??? i know it was a very sad movie and stuff but it wasnt that good to beat rain man

@MarCrisViTa Yea, you are obviously a great Hitchcock fan, and though I appreciate him tremendously, his films ARE always flawed (as are MOST films, if truth be told). Sure, Hitchcock was over-looked for an Oscar after "Rebecca", but he certainly did not deserve it for ALL those late '50's/early '60's films.

Bonnie & Clyde over The Graduate! The Wild Bunch over Midnight Cowboy! Chinatown over The Godfahter part ll! JAWS! Dog Day Afternoon, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and barry Lyndon are better than Jaws! Network over Taxi Driver! Kramer Vs. Kramer deserved it, Rainman, Do the Right Thing, The Pianist, Mystic River and The Crying Game did too, But Dr.Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, a Clockwork Orange, Badlands, Days of Heaven, Blade Runner, Shawshank, Seven, The Thin Red Line were good picks

It's ironic that you choose a song from Shakespeare in Love as your background music and then pick The Thin Red Line as the Best of 1998...

North by Northwest over Ben-Hur? You're outta your mind.

Badlands over The Exorcist???? Also, Taxi Driver, Brokeback Mountain & The Red Shoes all were robbed in their respective years, & none of them were on this list. Blade Runner was foolishly overlooked by the Academy in 1982. The Wizard Of Oz is a tough one, as it is such a fantastic, timeless, vibrant masterpiece, but lost out to Gone With The Wind, which was probably right, seeing as it was a soaring, epic on a grandscale, revolutionary, phenomena of a Hollywood film .1939: What a year for film.
