The History of the OSCARS - Best Picture Winners part IV
1990 – Dances With Wolves (*****)
Rich in detail, emotion and respect. Costner has such a strong handle on the mood and pace of the film, it’s hard not to get taken away in the majestic sweep.

What should have won?
Goodfellas – Despite Dances With Wolves’ excellence, Scorsese’s gangster film is a masterclass in film form and a visceral delight.



1991 – The Silence of the Lambs (*****)
A remarkable adaptation; form, excitement, performance and technicals all come together perfectly to create an unforgettable film that will stay with the viewer forever.

What should have won?
The Silence of the Lambs – As much as I’d have loved Beauty and the Beast to have won, I cannot look past or find fault in Silence.



1992 - Unforgiven (*****)
Clint Eastwood’s film could have been subtitled, ‘The Death of the Western’. Using his own persona and changes in censorship and audience involvement Eastwood creates a work of adult brilliance.

What should have won?
Unforgiven – To deconstruct a genre while showing it so much respect is an impressive feat and one that Eastwood achieves perfectly.



1993 – Schindler’s List (*****)
It’s hard to describe the affect that this film has on a viewer, with no tr...

There are chilling touches of humanity in even the most depraved villain in Spielberg's incredibly poignant film, and it is hard to quantify the staggering impact of knowing that the horrors we see unfolding on camera are no Hollywood device. A difficult film to enjoy, but impossible not to admire.

Schindler's List is a good, impactive movie, but it's also a sappy and calculated movie. To tell you the truth I'm rather conflicted about it.


Stain

People will always kill each other for dumb reasons, but this is really well made

Everyone should see this film at least once, it's that important.
