Having just finished a Chuck'em game featuring some of the worst movies of all time, now it time to go in the opposite direction and chuck some of the best, namely the winners for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Since having all 85 winners would be a little long I'm limiting it to winners from 1980 (the first year of the Razzies) to today. As always, the Rules:
1) Copy the list into your own message. MAKE SURE YOU COPY THE ENTIRE LIST. 2) Delete ONE movie. 3) Under the updated list, tell what you chucked and why. Silly answers are okay. 4) If you chuck a movie, please wait three hours before you chuck another. Three hour rule. 5) When only one movie remains, it will be branded UNCHUCKABLE!
Ordinary People (1980) Chariots of Fire (1981) Ghandi (1982) Terms of Endearment (1983) Amadeus (1984) Out of Africa (1985) Platoon (1986) The Last Emperor (1987) Rain Man (1988) Driving Miss Daisy (1989) Dances with Wolves (1990) The Silence of the Lambs (1991) Unforgiven (1992) Schindler's List (1993) Forrest Gump (1994) Braveheart (1995) The English Patient (1996) Titanic (1997) Shakespeare in Love (1998) American Beauty (1999) Gladiator (2000) A Beautiful Mind (2001) Chicago (2002) The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) Million Dollar Baby (2004) Crash (2005) The Departed (2006) No Country for Old Men (2007) Slumdog Millionaire (2008) The Hurt Locker (2009) The King's Speech (2010) The Artist (2011) Argo (2012)

Chucked Driving Miss Daisy. To me, it's just not worthy of being a 'Best Picture.' Do The Right Thing (not nominated) or Born on the Fourth of July should have won.

Chucked Forrest Gump because I got sick of all my Baby Boomer relatives telling me their recallections of all the events in the film. Also Pulp Fiction should have won.

Chucked Out of Africa because I don't think it's worthy of being a 'Best Picture.' For the most part, I think the Oscars blew it in the 1980s.

Chucked Chariots of Fire. I think it's a pretty average movie. I think better movies that year were Blow Out, Raiders of the Lost Ark, My Dinner with Andre, and On Golden Pond.
