Acclaimed but forgettable films.

>>79366067
See: pretty much every Best Picture winner

Any movie based in the middle east or Africa

>>79366122
Not EVERY Best Picture winner, anon. Lawrence of Arabia, The Bridge on the River Kwai, The Silence of the Lambs, No Country for Old Men, The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Rocky, American Beauty and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King are all great, memorable films.

Most Oscar bait films. Most of the films in this pic received great reviews.

>>79366244
Almost all plebshit and only memorable because they are on tv every year.

If they decided to show Argo on tv every year for 25 years it would become memorable too.

>>79366244
Obviously there are going to be exceptions. I still stand by what I said that most Best Picture winners end up being forgettable

>>79366289
Name some films that should've won best picture.

>>79366379
Off the top of my head, Apocalypse Now should have won over Kramer vs Kramer

>>79366285
The pianist is the only film that was memorable to me

>>79366379
The Wrestler should have won (or at the very least been nominated) over Slumdog Millionaire. What an absolute garbage flick.

>>79366379
Wolf of Wall Street

>>79366379
True grit (2010) should've have won every category it was nominated for
Its fucking bullshit that kings speech took best picture
I quit watching the oscars after that

>>79366285
I wouldnt call 12 years a slave forgettable

>>79366425
>>79366499
>>79366500
You're all correct but I just wanted a reply from the anon who thinks " Lawrence of Arabia, The Bridge on the River Kwai, The Silence of the Lambs, No Country for Old Men, The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Rocky, American Beauty and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" are "plebshit". I'm aware the academy usually fucks up when it comes to best picture.

Mad Max: Fury Road

>literal pleb filter and being discussed daily even here.

>It's oscarbait so it's bad

>>79366274
I actually referenced this movie last night while talking about ugly ginger women in Hollywood with my mate. We were watching Nocturnal Animals.

>>79366289
Almost all of those films became instantly iconic and were widely loved by critics and audiences long before they got re-ran on TV.

>>79366379
Max Mad Angry Street
Batman Beings
TDK
TDKR

>>79366379
Assassination of Jesse James should have won in 07.

At least No Country for Old Men is actually a decent flick instead of shitty oscar bait though.

Every oscar winner from the last 20 years.
Prove me wrong.

>>79366289
You don't know what you're talking about. Argo was a fairly standard Oscar bait flick that didn't have any sort of impact on pop culture or cinema, a bunch of the movies >>79366244 listed became pillars of pop culture and cinema while they were still in theaters.

>>79366285
12 years a slave was definitely not a forgettable movie.

>>79366285
>What it takes to be oscar bait:
>step 1: be a standard drama. Slightly experimental/innovative films like The Lobster need not apply
>step 2: either something historical (bonus points of biopic), or something contemporary but nostalgic
>step 3: pretend to touch upon a currently sensitive topic while not being controversial at all

>>79367083
You nailed it.

I liked boyhood a lot and not for the whole filming across many years thing

legit one of the most boring pieces of shit ever watched

>>79366379
Saving private Ryan and Munich. I still get mad.

>>79366274
I still don't get why people like this movie so much. Outside of Chastain s fine self this movie is garbage.

>>79368826
people who like stuff like the west wing like it

>>79366067
All I remember is CZJ taking the stakeout officers lemonade

>>79368826
Go watch capeshit movie was interesting.

I haven't thought about 2001 in the last month either but it's the best fucking movie in history. How often you think about a movie doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things
