The list is not mine. Altho, i do have something so say about it.

MOST OFFENSIVE: Star Wars losing to Annie Hall. Are you freakin’ kidding me?

VERY OFFENSIVE: Hitchock never won an Oscar. That’s just wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Fargo losing to that sappy The English Patient. WTH? Ugh! Fargo was original and funny. Too funny for that stuffy "The Academy". “They” scorn funny. “They” also scorn independent films.

PRETTY DAMN OFFENSIVE: Shawshank Redemption losing to Forrest Gump. Am i the only person in the world that HATES Forrest Gump?

SOMEWHAT OFFENSIVE: 2001: A Space Odyssey losing to Oliver…..huh? 1968, “The Academy” musta been on drugs for that ballot. Goodfellas losing to Dances with Wolves.

AMBIVALENT: Apocalypse Now to Kramer vs. Kramer.

FINE WITH ME: Phildelphia losing to Schindlers List. Philadelphia sucked. Schindlers list didn't suck.

FUNNIEST BLURB: “In 1999, Trey Parker and Matt Stone showed up in drag at the Oscars as Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow.”

You think “Star Wars” was a better film than “Annie Hall?”

"Forrest gump"

No, you are not. "Gump" was a horrible waste of my time. As much as I dislike Robbins, TSR was an excellent film.

I've never sat down and really watched Gump and I don't intend too...I've seen some of it here and there and it just seems to long, too stupid, too predictable, and too Hollywood.....

there is a long and ever growing list of movies and TV shows that I proudly can say I never watched....

Am i the only person in the world that HATES Forrest Gump?

No. You aren’t. For Tom Hanks to win an oscar ONCE was a travesty-but to win it two years in a row (which only Spencer Tracy had done) was SACRILEGE. That film was such utter garbage, I couldn’t watch it all, although anyone that hasn’t lived in a cave since it was released should know the entire thing word for word.
