"Cinema Paradiso" Wins Foreign Language Film: 1990 Oscars 

I've never cried so much watching a movie before... Marvellous movie.

Cinema Paradiso the best movie in the world with the best soundtrack

Well deserved award but um.... where was Ennio Morricone's Oscar for the music? Without him and his son the film wouldn't have been the same. ''Cinema Paradiso'' will be long remembered for its musical score.

Anyone watching this movie again after Ennio Morricone's Passing? This movie still hits hard even after watching it years earlier.

Cinema Paradiso.....What a beautiful movie, in every way!

The best movie I've ever seen.

🎭CINEMA PARADISO🎭 The best film I've ever seen in my life! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 Thank you Italy for this master piece of the cinema! Simply SPECTACULAR!

Best movie ever made.

Once upon a time, when Italy made best movies ever

Also should've been nominated Best Score, Best Supporting Actor for Philippe Noiret and Best Picture.

Remembering the fine music of Cinema Paradiso-- the now late Ennio Morricone.

It should have won best picture too... Also Tornatore for Director, Noirret for Supporting Actor, Morricone for Score and Giurato for Cinematography.

I wont say the “best” movie ever made, (technically or artistically), but certainly one of the most special, beautiful and enjoyable films ever to grace the silver screen

The best movie I've been watching hundred times for these 20 years.

I remember some critics at the time saying Cinema Paradiso was “overly sentimental”. But all that was to me was a measure of their own world weariness and cynicism. The many charms of this movie are irresistible to anyone with a fully functioning heart. All these years later, I have a CP poster on the wall of my office, and Ennio’s theme song is my phone’s ringtone. I can’t imagine any other movie ever surpassing it as my all-time favorite. Deepest gratitude to everyone involved in its creation.

Tornatore was so young, made that masterpiece in his early 30s

One of the greatest movie ever made, but this Oscar satellite thing is so annoying as hell !

This movie made me cry so many times. One of the best movies ever ❤️❤️❤️

this movie should have won the main oscars that year

I love Tornatore so much. All his movies are so beautiful, not only Cinema Paradiso. I sorry the producer did not let him say a word. It's Tornatore's movie, I have no idea who was the producer.

They didn’t even let Tornatore speak. It was all about the show. Ahh well, at least we will always have the Paradiso.

They cut off the director when he was about to talk!

One of the best movies i've ever seen .. Top 10 ..

as italian i have to say, yes is the best movie ever did, the most emotional movie i have ever seen, and each time i see it i got bumps on my skin. It´s the most romantic love movie and a movie about life with the most incredible soundtrack (Morricone, a genius!) music never realized, emotional like no other musics, actors great, scenes great, everything is hier WOW

This movie literally touched so many teenagers all around the WORLD including myself

I've seen all the three versions and i loved it all

At 4:08 Jack Lemmon announced the only time in the Academy Awards history that a movie from Puerto Rico has been nominated in the foreign language category. Since 2011, my country, where the main language is Spanish, the language spoken in the competing picture, has been declared inneligible for that prize for reasons not clear, perhaps related to the fact that the island is a U.S. territory, something that has been historically irrelevant when consideration is given to, for example, our 5 winners of the Miss Universe contests, 2 winners of the Miss World pageant and our own Olympic identity since 1948. Aside from that, and regarding this Oscar nomination, Pedro Muñiz, the producer of the Puerto Rican flick, its director Jacobo Morales and main actor Tommy Muñiz, expressed their disappointment for the way the broadcasting of the segment was carried from Moscow, mainly with the annoying and distracting mishandling of the sound, something that demeaned such a special moment, not only for Puerto Rico but also for the other four countries competing. Producer Muñiz referred to it as 'an international lack of respect for all 5 nominees', and a shameful situation that spoiled that part of the ceremony. However, we are very proud of our Oscar winning actors José Ferrer, Rita Moreno and Benicio del Toro. When Puerto Rican born Joaquín Phoenix won Best Actor this year for Joker we celebrated too. Our José Rivera was nominated as screenwriter for The Motorcycle Diaries. Other artists of Puerto Rican roots like Rosie Pérez (Fearless) and Irene Cara, who won as co-composer of Flasdance...What A Feeling, have been nominated. But the Moscow fiasco at the only time a movie from PR would ever receive such an important nomination was a situation that should never be repeated.

favorite movie of all time

It's amazing that the movie won an Oscar and it's amazing more that the people who honor Morricone music in that movie are more than those how know about the movie Oscar RIP Ennio

I loved this movie. Italy makes the best movies. Too bad The Hand of God did not win. I hope there will be a winner for Italy once more

Una película que es imposible verla sólo una vez.

Film e colonna sonora bellissimi struggenti... capolavori italiani 🇮🇹👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

What a catastrophically stage managed and sound engineered stunt, broadcasting this segment of the academy awards from Moscow.

A purest love letter to cinema! Greetings from Indonesia.

Franco Cristaldi was a producer: he is the one who is speaking and not Tornatore. It's odd isn't it?!

I just fell in love with this story. My Italian teacher put it in school and I loved it.

He directed one of the biggest classics of cinema and he didn't said a word when he won the Oscar. No more than respect for Tornatore (did I written it correctly?)

NON CI SONO PIU PRODUTTORI FRANCO CRISTALDI grande ha fatto molto per Cinema Paradiso

For me this movie is magical . Supose win for the best Oscar for the best soundtrack , Oscar for the best actor Phillipe Noiret is amazing actor ! supose win the best foreign language movie and win the best movie of this year Just very bad win 1 Oscar..i am remember 2 years ago for the beat suppsort actrice is american actrice win the Oscar after that big ovation.. and for the best actor is french actor win the Oscar , and nothing no ovation fuck and nothing wow cheap people normal is french actor is not American actor .. !!

Deserve it. I saw it last night, and it was a masterpiece

The soundtrack ♡

I watched Cinema Paradiso in the early '90s for the first time and it has remained my favorite movie of all time since then!!!!! An absolute gem!!!!! And yes Ennio Morricone should have won an Oscar for the bellisima music he composed!!!!!!!!!!!

That movie should have won all the oscars. What a marvelous movie

Che bella che era qui Natalya Negova...ancora oggi è meravigliosa!

I just recently saw Cinema Paradiso (twice on big screen) at Glasgow Film Theatre where they celebrate 80 years of Cosmo Cinema. Is one of finest art deco building in Europe. The cinema still showing many of greatest films from all over the world. It also host Glasgow Film Festival (runs from February to March) and other countries theme festival. It important to keep cinema alive, it's Evey day life to learn something behind a camera that makes good entertainment.

I want to remind you that in 1988 when the film was released in Italy it was a fiasco of audience and above all of criticism so much that the producer Franco Cristaldi was forced to remove it from the cinemas. He re-edited the movie cutting about 20 minutes (love story of Toto and the girl in adult age) and re-realised in 1989 but nothing happened the movie remained unseen and not appreciated by critics. The huge success was only, first, with the nomination and then with the winning of the Oscar. And criticism has also changed the point of view. Still in Italy it's difficult to find the first full version. And I don't know what of two versions the Academy saw for the nomination.

Rest In Peace Maestro Morricone

Tornatore once gave a very funny explanation about the misunderstanding occourred that night. He was told that both him and his producer had to write their own speech that could't exceed 45 seconds. He let his producer speak first cause he thought it was 45 seconds for each man. Just that same night he realized they meant 45 seconds for both of them:-)

Mi película preferida. Una pelicula de amor al cine más que la historia romántica. Lloré viendo las antiguas películas de cine frances e italiano con Gabin _ Louis Jouvet. Mi cuñado francés y mi abuela amaban el cine clásico fra4nces e italiano. Me acordé de mi adolescencia en los años 80 cuando aún yo veía esas películas. Mi abuela alcanzó a ver esta película en la tele y lloraba de risa al recordar sus películas de antaño y las salas se cine de su época. Me enamoré de Philippe Noiret años antes que salga Cinema Paradiso, en una de sus películas "le vieux fusil". La música de Morricone complementa todo perfectamente.

Viva Puerto Rico🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

我非常好奇，同时也是感到非常奇怪的一件事情就是，为什么我在第62届奥斯卡颁奖典礼的晚会上没有看到有最佳外语片颁奖的这个环节……？

giuseppe tornatore didn't speak? Come on.

beautiful movie!

Ninguna duda. Y estaba para obtener el Oscar absoluto (mejor película total). Pero la gran omisión de la Academia fue no otorgar el Premio respectivo a la banda sonora del maestro "G-Ennio" Morricone. Sublime. Tiene alma propia, con independencia de la misma película.

Oscar for Italy once more

I love Jack Lemon! Wow! What a lovely clip!

that was torturous getting to it...

C'est un film magnifique franco-italienne 🇨🇵🇮🇹 . Et n'oublions pas Philippe Noiret et tous les acteurs de ce beau film. Merci à tous

What's with the echo during Lemmon and Negoda's introduction?

To Valentino46's homeland , Thanks a lot for such a brilliant experience #FromIndiaWithLove 💛💛

Occhi chiusi e Amore infinito🌺🌺🌺🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍋

Cómo es que esta obra de arte no ganó es oscar a mejor película ese año? Que alguien me explique?

Wonderful film. The best song ever!

It deserved a nomination for Best Score.

The best movie ever made !!!!!!!

The scores in Cinema Paradiso is truly beautiful and haunting

A historic moment

Wonderful film.Outstanding¡

Why Giuseppe Tornatore had not a chance to speak?

The Best Movie I have ever seen

This whole ceremony was such a mess. They tried to go back to the old style of presenting in different parts of the country, and instead tried around the world. But damn, if her face when Cinema Paradiso wins doesn't make up for everything.

"From the Soviet Union for the first time" - an ironic statement considering how soon there would be no more USSR.

Ma quanto era bella Natalya Negoda! Non ricordo bene ma credo che Cristaldi scippo' dalle mani di Tornatore la statuetta e disse che questo premio era del produttore soprattutto, e non del regista. Alla base credo la disputa sulle due versioni di film, la lunga e quella piu breve. E fu quella proposta proprio da lui, da Cristaldi, ad avere successo soprattutto negli USA e porto' al premio.

Son pocas las peliculas que dejan un sentimiento q no sabes explicar despues de verla. La vi de adolescente y me quede en otra dimension ❤

One of many italian awesome moovies

The best movie ever made "Cinema Paradiso" truly- covers every emotion and is a true masterpiece !

Beautiful Movie ❤️

O melhor e mais belo filme de todos os tempos!

I was a through and through Bollywood guy, until Cinema Paradiso and The Godfather got me hooked to world cinema.

Something ahead of its time regarding presenting the award live in another country comparing to the format of recent Oscar presentation, if you know what I mean

Me gusta mucho ver los Oscar pero más me gusta escucharlos en español o con subtítulos en español

Natalia Negoda was so young and beautiful.

The voices are echoing!

Novecento by Bernardo.Bertolucci with Moriconne soundtrack £-) another classic the film also is about Italy during ww2, but it is more of an epic. And yes it has de Niro. Though the soundtrack is probably better. As it includes also Italian working class songs. But it is more a history of ltalian class struggle.

Two years later in 1992 Franco Cristaldi the producer of Cinema Paradiso died. These openings to USA capitalism destroyed USSR.

Greatest movie on the world of cinema!!

What was Jack Lemmon doing in Moscow? How the hell have they lured him, really?...

In my top 7 movies of all time

Cine Paradiso es una joya ❤️

Cinema Paradiso is a singular masterpiece.

they already uploaded it!! it's great

Manca un pezzo del filmato: non mostra quando e COME Cristaldi sale sul palco...

Su alegría es genial!

This Movie deservd 10 Oscars 🎥🏆🇮🇹🔝

Cinema Paradiso is my fourth favorite film ever.

LOL 4:26 "C'mon, ol' Gil, stop struggling and get that darn envelope open.., don't hit the girl... you need this gig again next year!

Franco Cristaldi was a good man!

Dream to be an International family sharing our fears hopes and dreams

Well, Camile Claudel, is a beautifull movie to...
