Shakespeare in Love (1998)
This is one of the handful of Best Picture winners from the past couple decades to be highly disputed. A lot of people say that it cheated Saving Private Ryan out of the win. But they're two such incredibly different films that I'm not sure how people can compare. This is a beautiful and entertaining story about where one of our most beloved plays came from (two actually, if you count Viola's inspiration of Twelfth Night at the end). Also, it includes the best acting of Ben Affleck's career. I love Saving Private Ryan and even though I picked this to win that year, I'm still not sure which one I think deserved it.
My Netflix rating: 4 stars
