Much like the 1976 poll. I put in Academy Award nominees.
BTW, the reason I'm getting these years is this list of the worst pictures to win the Academy Award from EMPIRE magazine....
10) How Green Was My Valley (1941--won out over Citizen Kane & The Maltese Falcon)
9) Rocky (1976--a winner over Taxi Driver & All the President's Men)
8) Cavalcade (1933--a winner over 42nd Street & I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang)
7) Around the World in 80 Days (1956--a winner over Giant & The King and I)
6) Terms of Endearment (1983--a winner over The Right Stuff---magazine called 1983 "among Hollywood's worst years")
5) Forrest Gump (1994--won out over Pulp Fiction & The Shawshank Redemption)
4) Ordinary People (1980--a winner over Raging Bull, Coal Miner's Daughter & The Elephant Man)
3) The Greatest Show on Earth (1952--a winner over High Noon, Singin in the Rain & The Quiet Man)
2) A Beautiful Mind (2001--magazine refers to it as a "fictionalized biopic" and called the screenplay on the life of John Forbes Nash "wilfully dishonest")
1) Braveheart (1995--keeping in mind that this is a BRITISH magazine...referred to Mel Gibson's epic as "...groans under the grandiose historical pomposity.." and said that "his dialogue has all the subtlety of a parody."
I'll probably get to most of them, and plus a few more years (COUGH1997COUGH). Remember this isn't what you thought should have won the Academy Award of the nominees that year. Just what you think should have won the award (EDIT: What you thought was the best movie). The nominees are simply in as a rough skeleton.
