Have you...have you seen other movies? I'm afraid you may be trapped in an abusive movie relationship here.

I haven't seen all of them, but I can confidently say that of those I've seen, Ben-Hur was my absolute favorite. My father pushed me to watch it and I loved it.

Kills Photobucket
Return of the King and Dances with Wolves

As I look through that list...Amadeus. Such a great movie.

This reminds me I need to rewatch Schindlers List. We watched it in high school but I know a bit more now and I think it would mean more to me as well.

Rocky and Casablanca for me
This choice is much harder than I thought, but I think Unforgiven is the one I would ultimately fall on since it's in my top ten and one of the best movies I've ever seen. The ones that come close are Braveheart, Godfather 2, Million Dollar Baby, Schindler's List, and Return of the King.
Edit: I thought Apocalypse Now had won Best Picture in 1979. How did it lose?

Of the films that have won since the 1950's (haven't seen all of the Best picture winners before that date) my favourite is probably Terms of Endearment, although On the Waterfront, The Apartment, and Midnight Cowboy run it pretty close.
As far as films that I'm not a fan of then probably two from that list. Ordinary People which I simply don't like, and Chicago as I'm still salty that it beat Gangs of New York.
Also despite liking 12 Years a Slave I thought Dallas buyers club was stand out film of last years Oscars.
Looking forward to this years event as it's a strong year, I'd imagine Boyhood will win the Best picture award.

LA Confidential didn't win, unfortunately
For someone who enjoys films hugely, I've seen an alarming few of these. :'(
I think this weekend it's finally time for me to find the time for Lawrence of Arabia, which I've owned on BR for a couple of years, then seek out ways of watching more of them.
That said, often these films don't appeal to me at all so it might not go well.
Of those I've seen, I adore both Gladiator and Platoon (that soundtrack) so they will be my picks for now.
The Hurt Locker
Return of the King
A Beautiful Mind
Gladiator
Breaveheart
Schindlers List (I need to watch this again, pretty sure I was drunk)
Unforgiven
Silence of the Lambs
Dances With Wolves
Rain Man
Platoon
Rocky
Oliver!
Gone with the Wind
A poor showing.
