In Search of Best Picture
17, Feb 2011
by Nigel Druitt
As the Oscar telecast creeps up on us again, it begs the question: How many times has the Academy really gotten this “Best Picture” thing right, anyway?
Think about it. How many controversial decisions are there in the Academy’s history? How many times is a movie other than Best Picture long remembered as the best of the year?

Happy to see this has been well-received by the Flickchart community. The first two (yes, both) are classics and it’s nice to see the series return to being bad-ass. Check out Flickchart user johnmason’s review.

Director Alejandro Amenabar’s tale of Christianity during the Roman Empire. Rachel Weisz stars.
And that’s about it. Everything else is essentially just DTV that doesn’t feature Dolph Lundgren and smaller, but in most cases interesting, movies. Here’s a quick list:
- Mirrors 2 – DTV sequel starring Nick Stahl
- Night of the Demons – DTV horror starring Edward Furlong and Shannon Elizabeth
- Giallo – Director Dario Argento’s latest, featuring Adrien Brody
- Six Wives of Henry Lefay – Tim Allen and a bunch of attractive women like Paz Vega and Elisha Cuthbert.
- Please Give – Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt in a movie about a rich Manhattan family.
- Assault Girls – Rinko Kikuchi (of Babel fame) in a flick about 3 ladies sent into a virtual world.
- Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl – The title says it all, doesn’t it?
- Shoot the Hero – DTV featuring Jason Mewes and Danny Trejo
