American Beauty and Chicago amongst the worst? Haven’t this people watched Crash or Happy Feet?


1-10-- the worst: some points of disagreement. — 4 years ago

The Great Ziegfeld still works as spectacle on a level seldom achieved before or since. All the King’s Men is a very good movie, as is American Beauty. Oliver! is an excellent musical (albeit strange in some respects), and My Fair Lady is a generally very good movie ruined only by the worst single casting decision in film history.

Glaring omissions are some of the recent, juvenile winners. My list might be something like this:

Tied for #1: Cimarron, Broadway Melody, Titanic

Second tier: Cavalcade, A Beautiful Mind, Braveheart

Third tier: The Greatest Show on Earth, Around the World in 80 Days, Chicago
