The 2011 Academy Awards are being presented this weekend. This year I've actually seen several of the nominees for best picture, so I might even try to watch the show.
This has me thinking about all of the movies I consider to be great, but didn't win the Oscar or even get nominated. In other words, they aren't dramas. Here my top 5 without thinking about it too much.
Caddyshack. More memorable characters and one-liners than any movie in history.
Airplane! A movie way ahead of its time.
When Harry Met Sally. Maybe the best romantic-comedy ever. Meg Ryan deserved an Oscar just for her fake orgasm scene.
Bull Durham. Also maybe the best romantic-comedy ever. It even had the benefit of having a sports-related theme.
School Of Rock. Fantastic acting by Jack Black. Although he probably wasn't acting that much.
Plenty of animated movies come to mind as well. Many of the Pixar movies are great, including any of the Toy Story movies - although this last one actually was nominated for best movie!
