So good for different reasons....

Unforgiven is a great western, but Silence of the Lambs is too much for Mr. Eastwood and company.

Neither are exactly Smokey and the Bandit !

Both Best Picture Winners, unconventional choices for the prize as they may have been in the early 90s, have easily passed the test of time. As for The Academy's choices in this decade, that's a bilious diatribe for another day so I'll only say, both classic, both iconic, but Unforgiven still wins this by some distance.

Two of the best movies of the 1990s. Silence may have better acting but Unforgiven, for me, is the all around better film!
