Of course it wasn't. There was Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line in the BP nominees alone.

There was American History X, The Big Lebowski, Aronofsky's Pi, Rushmore, The Truman Show, Velvet Goldmine, Mulan.

There was Kusturica's Black Cat, White Cat, Vinterberg's Festen, Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Last Vegas, Tykwer's Run Lola Run, The Red Violin, the original Ringu, Taxi

A Best Picture statuette is not a unit measure for worth.

I don't know why exactly but I am in love with the movie The Red Violin. I'm glad to see someone else has at least heard of it as it is not a widely known movie.

Hard to believe Saving Private Ryan didn't win that year as it is the kind of movie it seems like the Academy usually goes for.

Light skin ftl, you know it's true. Except for work-related scheming, I guess.

No wait.

Work ftl.

I'll post some thoughts soon, but I've still got a few big contenders to catch up to...

Looking forward to, anytime.

Yes, people do use that yellow in rainbow lists. I just can't see who they have in that color unless I go to "Quote" and read it in black and white. Depending on my mood, I either just skip over it or go to "Quote". I can't read the black background and besides, we had a discussion in chatzy where someone brought up that it is legitimately harder to read than the light background. You must have been asleep (you miss some of the best things while sleeping).

Thank you though for fixing the movies though. I will eagerly go read which ones you thought were best.

Dear Rico,

When I read your posts at night which I am doing now, I cannot see anything you've posted in that bright green or yellow color. Are there other colors you could use? What about a nice purple, or a deep fuchsia? I'm sure you made some good recommendations in your top category but I won't know what they are until maybe tomorrow (I won't be able to read the yellow even in daylight).

Yours truly,
juliets
