Worst Post-Crash Best Picture Winner

Xpost I'ma let bg clean that one up

AQUA DONG

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

These are the four worst. But they're all masterpieces next to Crash.

The King's Speech
The Artist
Argo
The Shape of Water

I've only seen six of these, so I voted for The King's Speech, which was the worst of the six.

I've seen seven, of which Argo was the worst. Still voting for Green Book though.

Green Book is the only one I haven't seen, because it is the worst.

I enjoyed all the others, to a greater or lesser extent. Slumdog Millionaire perhaps least.

From best to worst...

No Country for Old Men
Parasite
Moonlight
The Departed
The Hurt Locker
12 Years a Slave
Spotlight
Slumdog Millionaire
Green Book
Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)
The Shape of Water
Argo
The Artist
The King's Speech

that's close to how I would place them

I had no idea Birdman won best pic. I enjoyed it as a weird little comedy.

Words can’t express how much I hated The Shape of Water; it cemented my opinion that GDT is the worst critically lauded director working today. Although it did open my eyes to the idea that apparently a lot of women secretly want to shag a fish-man.

Ditto. Of the eight films I've seen in this poll, this is the only one I outright hated.

apparently a lot of women secretly want to shag a fish-man

I suspect the big attraction for women was that he was mute.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I'm surprised at the numbers for NCfOM and Departed.

would like to hear the thinking of four voters

I think a few people admitted to having had misread the poll as best, not worst

at least I hope so

In my movie theater career career NCfOM generated some of the funniest audience feedback from dumb people going to see it just bc it won best picture, including my favorite (mightve told this story before): the lady who walked up to the counter afterwards and goes “So I don’t get it... it was all just a DREAM?”

Jones used to read Word Up! magazine

some day I'm going to show someone the director's cut of The Counselor and tell them it was No Country for Old Men

lol wait there’s a director’s cut of the counselor?

lol this was p close to my experience. at the end, some lady yelled out "that's IT?"

xp yes, and although I forget the differences, it is definitely better

..and apparently 20 minutes longer

The Blu-Ray of The Counselor comes with both cuts and yes, Scott's version is better than the version I saw in a theater. (It's a good movie; I like it. You have to meet it where it is, though - it concedes nothing, in any cut.)

No Country for Old Men 4
The Artist 3

In what world?
