Well, there's some folks around here that will disagree with you on that. At the end of 1996 I had three films at the top of my list, and I couldn't decide which was "best". Over 5 years later, I STILL can't decide between The English Patient, Fargo, and John Sayles' Lone Star. These are three very different, and very great films. I certainly can't fault the Academy for going with TEP. It's actually one of their better choices of the past decade.The Sweet Hereafter said:Quote:
