Strongest Recent Best Picture Winner

This is true. They still feel very similar, though (plus a post-2000 cut-off date makes slightly more sense).

Well, if your signature is any indication, then your saying a movie sucks is practically a compliment.

Ooh, snap. I like this guy

Come on guys, The Kings Speech is better than that overrated No Country Old Men mess. The Kings Speech was brilliantly acted, a true story that enthralled you without the use of a gun, and had a real ending.

I'd agree The Kings Speech was a 5/5 film, but films with gangsters/guns always score high with most people.

Of the ones I've seen:

Million Dollar Baby
The Departed
No Country for Old Men
Slumdog Millionaire
Argo
Birdman
Spotlight

I would say it's between Birdman and Spotlight. I think I'm slightly inclined to pick Birdman because I think overall the acting was stronger and there were a lot of very long shots. Spotlight also has great camera work and was extremely realistic bordering on hyper realism except for it's plot structure. I can't say that any of the other movies on the list I've seen came close in terms of technical excellence and meaningful content.

See, when you stick that grinning smiley onto the end of your post, it makes me think that you're joking.

As for the King's Speech vs. No Country debate, I like both of them, but I think it's obvious which of them better grasps a little thing called "subtlety."

Another thing: There is no excuse for The King's Speech beating The Social Network!

Social Network was good, but Best Picture? Best Actor nom for Jesse Eisenberg?! Cmon...

If you read the book which inspired the movie, his Mark Zuckerburg impression was pretty spot-on actually

I voted Argo. A nice movie that I enjoyed watching and would watch again.

Dude, half the forum could do an impression of Mark Zuckerberg spot-on. I watch Jim Parsons do a more difficult version of borderline-aspergers on Big Bang Theory. Watch Batman vs Superman and youll realize his true range as an actor.

That's pretty much how I feel.

I haven't seen The Artist or The King's Speech. I like all of the others.

Thanks for the spoilers wonka

Because that wouldn't have been clichéd.

All of your comments+"The Godfather Sucks"=me not being sure if you're MoFo's biggest troll, or just have really sh*tty taste in movies.

His best performance was The Double, hands down.

It can be two things.

Not seen The Double yet, loved Ayoade's Submarine so i should see it soon. My favourite Eisenberg performance is either the social network or Night Moves.
