	XpsychotickissX picked 1994 - Forrest Gump beats Pulp Fiction & The Shawshank Redemption: forest gump(in my opinion) sucked ass, how the fuck did it beat pulp fiction? by the way chicago is amazing, tahts how it beat the others also the fellowship of teh ring should have won over a beautiful mind posted over a year ago.

	Shelby13 picked 1998 - Shakespeare in Love beats Saving Private Ryan: A lot of these are surprising, but I definitely think Shakespeare in love was overrated. Its a glorified chick flick! How was it even nominated?? I didnt see The Pianist, but The Two Towers was such a transition movie. Not at all the best of the 3. And there were about 20 endings!! Im not that surprised about Star Wars bcuz it probably wasnt too popular right when it came out and then it created a ginormous fan base. Forrest Gump, Titanic and Crash were amazing. posted over a year ago.
