The third installment in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy probably won for the collective set of films, not just on its own merit. Hindsight’s a bitch: The Academy got it correct. What it beat: Lost in Translation, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, Mystic River, Sea Biscuit Creating a franchise that both revolutionized visual effects (Gollum) and was emotionally gripping enough to contain four finales is what led to The Return of the King tying the Oscar record of 11 wins. Summary: Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings is one of the most astonishing achievements in the history of film. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) What does surprise me is that none of his five masterpieces ever won Best Picture.Ģ4. This doesn’t surprise me, as Kubrick is the director that I would cite as the greatest ever. This is the fifth time I have argued for a Kubrick film as the best of its year. My personal preference from 1971: Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. All 25 of these films find a place in my own Top 100 films of all-time, so I make no arguments against any of them winning. Hindsight’s a bitch: There isn’t a film on this portion of the list that I disagree with. What it beat: A Clockwork Orange, Fiddler on the Roof, The Last Picture Show, Nicholas and Alexandra It also happens to feature the greatest car chase scene in film history.

Alongside his partner Cloudy (Roy Scheider), he’s on the trail to bust a shipment of heroin on its way from France to New York.
Summary: In William Friedkin’s The French Connection, Gene Hackman stars as Jimmy ‘Popeye’ Doyle, a bigoted and eccentric police officer consumed by his job.
