Revisiting the 1992 Oscars -- What They Got Wrong, and What Should've Won Best Picture

[@FTA4evr]

Revisiting the Oscars are the most entertaining and thought provoking videos you do. Always a treat.

I always look forward to these Oscar revisiting videos! I learn a lot. Thanks Dr. Matthews. You rock

I think Platoon was Stone's masterpiece, but JFK, Nixon and Born on the 4th of July were also incredibly amazing films.

when can you do the other years??

[@LearningaboutMovies]

Thanks for asking. I need to edit and upload the 1993 Oscars video. Working on watching through the 1994 Oscars. These take 2-6 weeks to work through key movies I haven't seen. So hopefully I can do about one a month.

@@LearningaboutMovies thanks for your reply. I am new into 1900s movies in general. So, these videos help me learn more about movies from last century.

A Brighter Summer Day is clearly number 1

Thank you

Love looking back at the 90’s with you. I think Oscar got it right this year. Silence of the Lambs is such a good film!

[@LearningaboutMovies]

Thank you

Great list! But now I feel bad because I have yet to watch JFK.

Raise the red lantern would be 1992 if going by U.S. release. But that would be my best picture, masterpiece.

[@karltons9873]

I saw raise the red lantern in the theater back then

To me, the easiest best film of 1991 is JFK. Beauty and the Beast and T2 are close seconds. Silence of the Lambs and Boyz N The Hood are fine too, but those are my three.

Shortlist An Angel at my table La Belle Noiseuse A Brighter Summer Day (submitted by Taiwan for best international film) The Commitments (surprised you missed this one, have you seen it?) JFK Point Break Raise The Red Lantern (submitted by Hong Kong and nominated for best international film) The Silence of The Lambs Slacker Terminator 2: Judgement Day Thelma and Louise Trust Honorable mentions Boys n the Hood Bugsy City Slickers The Fisher King Toto the Hero (submitted by Belgium for best international film) Truly Madly Deeply My final 5 nominees JFK, Terminator 2 and Silence of the Lambs (I too think it is overrated, relies too much on Hopkins) all miss out just. A Brighter Summer Day The Commitments Raise the Red Lantern Thelma and Louise Trust WINNER: THELMA AND LOUISE

Sight and Sound in 2022 included in the National Polls section the following statement: In a Jameson Whiskey 2005 on-line poll, over 10,000 Irish people voted The Commitments the best Irish film of all time.
