There are always so many titles I haven't seen when it comes to Oscar noms of the past. Good Will Hunting is great though and Titanic is one of my guilty pleasures so I guess 1997 is a good choice.
ReplyDeleteI love 1997. There are a lot of films I admire from that year.
DeleteTitanic is a great film, you shouldn't feel guilty for liking it.
DeleteThis is a good idea for a list! I think I'd have 1999 as #1, but I'm bias. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks! Haha, I'd probably put 1999 at #3 now.
DeleteOk, this is such an awesome idea...and I've seen all of these too so maybe I'll do it!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to give this some serious thought. Most of these years I have strong feelings towards all nominees...strong love and strong hate! This will be hard to compile thoughts on.
Thanks man! These are never an exact science. I'm already hesitant on the placement of some years.
