Quite a lot of good films on this list, and many really did deserve the Best Picture award...
Except for the bile-raising "Kramer Vs. Kramer". YECCCHHH!!
Maybe people still rant and rave that this beat out "Apocalypse Now" for Best Picture...but even worse...Dustin Hoffman won Best Actor instead of Peter Sellers' superb penultimate performance as Chauncy Gardner in "Being There"...which wasn't even nominated for Best Picture!
The horror...

Yes, many good good films nominated or won this decade. It was happening.
But Rocky?
Rocky beat Taxi Driver? I will never forgive. Never!

Rocky wasn't as great as Taxi Driver, but it wasn't a bad movie or even mediocre. I think it's great as well, just not as great.

I really think when people say Rocky is bad movie they think of the entire series as a whole.

Definitely Kramer Vs. Kramer. It's an okay movie... but It's not as strong as the others on this list.

No love for the Rock? "Adrianne!!!!!!!"
I'll watch that film anytime, just to hear Burgess Meredith say things like: "Get your little chicken asses out of here!", "You're a tomato! I run a gym, not a goddamn soup kitchen!" "You got heart, but you fight like a goddamn ape!" and, of course, "Women weaken legs!" LOL
"The Sting" is the one that stands out for me. Cute, but slight. And not nearly as fun as "Butch Cassidy."

Why isn't Shakespeare in Love on this list? I actually go for Annie Hall. I don't get how it beat out Star Wars.
