Today's trivia:

Orson Welles (Citizen Kane) and what other actor/writer/director have both been nominated for four Oscars for one film?

 

[SteveGon]

My votes:

The Shawshank Redemption - Easily.
Glory
Return of the Jedi - Tough one.
Groundhog Day

I hate to vote against Ran, but I think the popular appeal Groundhog Day has gives it a slight edge in this contest.

The trivia has me stumped, I thought it was Woody Allen for Annie Hall. He did win for Best Director, Actor, and Writing and the film did win Best Picture but that went to Charles Joffe.
