I would vote for A Beautiful Mind. The films is grosely overrated in it's entirety. It was just a make up awards for Ron Howard because of Apollo 13 being a frontrunner and losing to Braveheart.
Although I really like Ron Howard and Russell Crowe, this film is inacurate to the real story, sentimental in places it shouldn't be and basically plays a big joke on the audience. There were better films that year and much better choices...like Fellowship or Memento or The Rotal Tenenbaums.

I've always wanted to see "Out of Africa", but the beginning was so boring, I never could sit through it. I'll give it another try, though, on a day when I'm wide away and have nothing else to concentrate on that day.
I can't believe some of the movies that lost to certain other movies. I'm gonna have to find some of those movies, both my favorites that lost and the movies that beat them, 'cause I can't remember why some of them won.
There are some movies I know I wouldn't like, so I'm not mentioning anything I didn't see, except I TRIED to watch OoA and did see parts of it. I'm sure if I'd seen everything, my answer would be different. I heard that "The Deer Hunter" was very violent, so I'd probably pick that if I'd seen it.

1) Around the World in Eighty Days - are you kidding? it's a glorified travelogue; it beat out Giant and The Ten Commandments
2) The Greatest Show on Earth - b-o-r-i-n-g until the train wreck - the only exciting thing in this movie - beat out High Noon and The Quiet Man
3) Shakespeare in Love - what was the Academy thinking?? better than Saving Private Ryan and Elizabeth??
4) My Fair Lady - enough of Hollywood's fascination with musicals, especially one like this where NO ONE could sing! and it beats out Becket, Zorba the Greek, and Dr Strangelove!
5) Chicago - another (dreck) musical where the singing blows - The Pianist and Gangs of New York were both miles better

the two George of the Jungle 2 or the mummy 3, the two paradoxically Brendan Fraser, who i admire. those have been poor as a results of fact they used distinctive ladies who i think of weren't very solid actresses.
