When Was The Last Time The Best Movie Of The Year Won The Best Movie Oscar ?


Just heard Mark Kermode (BBC) say this about Moonlight.

Personally I normally agree with much of what Kermode says about movies, but I didn't think Moonlight was that great.

Anyhow I am just trying to think of when the best movie was the Best Movie, and I guess I would have to go back to One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (I had thought There Will Be Blood won, but it didn't)

Actually thinking a little more, I guess Schindler's List, and LoTR Return Of the King (though I do think of that as the last part of a trilogy, not a standalone movie) could hold that title.

Unforgiven was a good and very popular movie that won. I remember being surprised that it won because it was so popular.
