What a telling post! Almost (almost) every winner was the worst of the contenders, particularly "Chariots of Fire".
Follow Ups:
Of that bunch:Atlantic City -- Denis Heroux and John Kemeny, Producers
* Chariots of Fire -- David Puttnam, Producer
On Golden Pond -- Bruce Gilbert, Producer
Raiders of the Lost Ark -- Frank Marshall, Producer
Reds -- Warren Beatty, ProducerI think Chariots is the least offensive. Let's face it - Atlantic City had boobs and great Norma aria (was it Callas? I think so...), but it was an ultra-sentimental kaka. On Golden Pond was I thought so silly and corny I had syrup all over my pants. Raiders? Pass on. Reds? Oh, boy...
The Chariots might not be a great film, but that company did make it stand out.
I don't recall that year - what else was out there then? Could it have been as lean as this list indicates?
" Chariots "was a good film! I have always fun, which I do regulary, at watching it. Very British.
I like it much.I wonder what Rico do find wrong with it and with such pugnacity as it is not the first time that he state his unpleasure.
rico just made an example..If you take almost any post-1981 Oscar best picture winner, they almost uniformly SUCK.
