Maybe my favorite quiz. I've seen all but 3 and they are 3 of the 4 newest movies on the list. I enjoyed all of them except The Last Emperor and I must have spent half a day trying to watch it but I would fall asleep and would have to rewind to where i nodded off multiple times.

I'm so surprised that "The Best Years of Our Lives" is the 2nd least-guessed of all of these. It is such a great movie. It's been one of my most favorite movies for probably 25 years now. Such an inspirational movie for veterans and survivors. If we have to have inspirational movies to gear us up to fight the good battles and get through them and win, we also have to have inspirational movies that guide us to peace and healing after war.
+1
Level 86
Mar 13, 2023
It's also the third-oldest movie on this list, so it probably shouldn't be a huge surprise that it is (deservedly or undeservedly) one of the least frequently guessed.
+1
Level 66
Mar 23, 2023
I've seen the film and found the clue a bit difficult (I still got it though). I don't remember the characters names very well and didn't think of them as "pals" - the 3 stories are from soliders that get the same plane together having not met before, and then it follows their families/relationships more than friendships.
+1
Level 72

Go back and watch the movie. Fred, Al and Homer all spend a fair amount of time together at Homer's uncle's bar. Fred loses his job because he objects to the comments of a right-wing nut job to Homer. Fred and Al get into a bitter argument because Fred is seeing Peggy, Al's daughter, even though Fred is still married. Fred breaks off the relationship but, after getting divorced, proposes to Peggy at Homer's wedding. There's more, but you get the idea.

Fun Fact! With it's 7 wins last night, Everything Everywhere All at Once just became the movie with the most above-the-line* wins in Oscar history with 6!

It’s the first movie to win best picture that features a huge phallus being used as a weapon! It’s only the second such movie nominated, though.

Mar 25, 2023
So we're back to using the year the movie came out and not the year that it won the awards? This is the correct way, but those other quizzes that show, for example, Titanic winning Best Picture for 1998, need to be changed.

You have the wrong year for the most recent Best Picture winner.

Added a caveat. The year is the year of the ceremony. We used to have it the other way around but people complained, so we changed it. Now different people complain.
