In fact, most would argue thatMartin Scorsese’sGoodfellaswas the rightful Best Picture winner of 1991.
Indeed, thisJames Cameronsensation ravaged the box office upon release and rightfully went on to raid the Oscars.
However, it’s not all that 1997 had to offer.
There was the incredibly funFace/Off, the criminally underratedJackie Brown, andPaul Thomas Anderson’s masterfulBoogie Nights.
There’s the beautiful tearjerkerGood Will Hunting, the exceptional neo-noirL.A.
Confidential, the moving comedyAs Good As It Gets, and the pathos- and heart-filled gemThe Full Monty.
