One of the most celebrated producers/financiers was Arnold Kopelson, best known for producing and co-producing a series of genres, including 1986's "Platoon" which won him an 1987 Academy Award for best picture and 1993's "The Fugitive" which earned him an 1994 Oscar nomination for best picture. Sadly, he died in 2019 and survived by his wife and children. Thanks for the fun and joy. RIP, Arnold.
@@longmemory1620 yes true, and another time when they are calling in the air strike in the start of the second battle. Barns is standing in the distance with a huge smile mocking the LT
@@longmemory1620 Me too ... as many times as i watched this film i never realized. He was mocking him because Wolf always had compass trouble so the Cpt had to start calling in artillary, lol
@@ScreaminModelKits A lot goes into the production of a great movie than just pouring in money. Lot of decisions to be made to bring right people together at the right time.
Does anyone else find it odd that the professionals here that read scripts and lines off by heart for a living are struggling to read the lines on the teleprompter or on the notes in front of them. But the producer of the movie, who's job it is to be in the background and not in front of the camera is the one that can give an amazing speech and doesn't have to continually read notes.
Watching actors being interviewed on talk shows made me realize I was giving actors too much credit in their ability to communicate smoothly. One of the best examples is Morgan Freeman. He communicates so well in movies I considered him a genius. I watch him interviewed on a talk show and I believe he's a typical guy. While using how well someone communicates as an indicator to their intelligence is not the best indicator, it's one that comes to my mind.
For me this list should have been: Children of a Lesser God Hannah and her Sisters The Mission Platoon A Room With a View Blue Velvet Aliens Salvador The Color of Money Stand by Me
In fact Top Gun received an Oscar for best song Take My Breath Away and earning 3 more nominations including best editing, best sound and best sound effects editing in 1987.
@@paulvoorhies8821 Well, on the other hand, Top Gun (1986) was the highest grossing film in Paramount's history. Its rousing sequel, Top Gun: Maverick (2022) was Paramount's highest grossing film of the year. Nominated for 6 Academy Awards in 2023, including best picture of the year - Tom Cruise, Christopher McQuarrie, David Ellison and Jerry Bruckheimer, producers. But it took home an Oscar for best sound - Mark Weingarten, James Mather, Al Nelson, Chris Burdon and Mark Taylor.
Because the award is for Best Picture. The producer usually receives the award for Best Picture. Oliver Stone received his award when he won the Best Director earlier in the evening.
How is Saving Private Ryan fake? Yes the fight at the end of the movie didn't happen but did you watch the beginning? Lol. And Full Metal Jacket was pretty accurate how basic training was.
