Which is it?










I fully expect Parasite to run away with this

Moonlight just edges it but its close

12 Years and Kings Speech are both pretty good. Felt most of the cast of 12 Years was very strong and emotional and Kings Speech just hit the right notes as someone with public speaking

Only two I didnt really like were Argo and Green Book

6 of the films landed in my recently updated all-time top 1000; Moonlight and Parasite are quite close and I wouldn't be surprised to see Parasite rise after getting a chance to revisit it. They are the only two films in my top 10 that won best picture.

Rank:
7 - Moonlight
8 - Parasite
100 - 12 Years a Slave
477 - The Shape of Water
924 - Birdman
987 - Spotlight

The Birdman-Spotlight-Moonlight stretch was so freaking good, but I have to give it to Parasite. I leapt out of my chair when it won.

Never seen any of these. Most recent BP winner I've seen is Return of the King.

Spotlight > The King's Speech > Argo >Green Book

Parasite > Birdman > Shape of Water > Moonlight > The Artist > 12 Years a Slave >>>>> The King's Speech > Spotlight > Green Book > Argo

The last 4 are the only ones I'd really argue didn't deserve to win

Birdman pretty easily.

12 years and shape of water (the only other two I saw) are also good but I'm more into the construction of plot and directing than the nature of the content.

Haven't seen Parasite yet, but for the rest, going by my IMDB score:

Spotlight: 8/10
Green Book: 8/10
The Shape of Water: 7/10
King's Speech: 7/10
Moonlight: 6/10
The Artist: 6/10
Argo: 5/10
12 Years A Slave: 5/10
Birdman: 4/10

I don't really care about technical merits in films though. This is all from an entertainment perspective. I enjoyed the 90s and 00s best picture movies far more than the 10s winners. I like every single 00s winner more than Spotlight, and the same is true of 7 of the 90s winners.

Did Birdman seriously get a 4/10?

This darkest timeline shit is getting old.

Parasite is easily my favorite of these, but I did like Moonlight and The Shape of Water a ton. I respect Birdman. Green Book and Argo are both garbage. The rest are okay.

2014 was an amazing year for movies. Grand Budapest Hotel was another great one.

Not my taste, but based on imdb:

  1. Parasite - 8.6/10 (All time #22)
  2. Green Book - 8.2/10 (All time #129)
  3. 12 Years a Slave - 8.1/10 (All time #200)
  4. Spotlight - 8.1/10 (All time #224)
  5. The King's Speech - 8.0/10
  6. The Artist - 7.9/10
  7. Argo - 7.7/10
  8. Birdman - 7.7/10
  9. Moonlight - 7.4/10
  10. The Shape of Water - 7.3/10


It definitely looks like the Oscars have turned themselves around after that patch of dark years.

King's Speech is my favorite.

In terms of what I think will be the most remembered in 20 years from the general population? Probably 12 Years a Slave, Green Book, and Parasite.

Yeah I would have said La La Land. As it stands, Parasite.

Parasite > 12 Years a Slave > Spotlight > Birdman

Both Birdman and Spotlight winning, yikes
