Throughout history, only three movies have ever won all five major Academy Awards.
The five major awards are Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Picture as well as Best Screenplay(Adapted).
So clearly, the three movies that managed such a feat must be really good no?
Well, I have watched two of them and I must say they deserved the awards.
The Silence of the Lambs.
I just love Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of Hannibal Lecter. Despite the fact that Dr. Lecter is some sociopath who likes to eat people, I must say he is really intelligent. That although he's stuck in a cell, it's like he still knows everything.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Really quite a funny movie. But the ending...
Sigh. You must watch it to get what I'm talking about.
The one movie left for me to watch is It Happened One Night. Strange how two of the three movies are sort of psychology related. And the other is a romantic comedy. Looks like action movies will never be great movies =P.
And only old movies achieved such things. Don't you realise that all the movies were made before 2000? The latest being 'The Silence of the Lambs" in 1991. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was released in 1975 and "It Happened One Night" being the oldest was released in 1934. Makes you wonder what on earth happened to the quality of the newer movies.
