For 1967: In the Heat of the Night was a solid movie, with a powerful racial theme, but Bonnie and Clyde was the best film that year, IMO. Also, Doctor Doolittle had no business whatsoever being one of the five BP nominees that year. Should have been Cool Hand Luke in there, instead.
Silver lining, Mark Harris's 'Pictures at a Revolution', which covered the making of the five BP nominees that year, was able to paint a much clearer portrait of 60s cinema because of 'Doctor Dolittle' being nominated. In fact, I'm not even sure the book works without it.
1.Godfather Part 2 2. LOTR 3 3. Schindler's List 4. PARASITE 5.Casablanca 6.One flew over the cuckoo's best 7. The departed 8. Rocky 9. The silence of the lambs 10. Moonlight
I know it's not your fault, but going from Chicago, a decent stage musical, to Return of the King, one of the grandest epics ever, is kind of surreal in just a smash cut
