I agree on 'The English Patient.' I actually enjoyed Gump the first time I saw it, but it suffers badly on repeated viewings.
Thing about TEP is I went in to watching it expecting to love it; a sprawling story set in WWII, etc.
Over the years the embarassment that Gump won is likely going to grow; 50 years from now it will be "what were they THINKING?!?!?" deals.

Same here, man. I'll never understand how Forrest Gump managed to steal Pulp Fiction's Oscar that year. PF was "only" the most entertaining, memorable, quotable, influential film of the dad-gum DECADE, after all.
