With the Oscars and other award shows over for the year, I figured a movie based 'Weakest Link' would be a fun thing. Since we are here in this forum for a 90s based band, I decided we could choose the BEST FILM for all the BEST PICTURE WINNERS of the 1990s.

Here we continue with Round 2 to determine the BEST OSCAR WINNING BEST PICTURE OF THE 1990S.

You are going to pick the film that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the two (2) movies with the most votes. We will then move on to Round 4.

Complete list of Best Picture Oscar Winners of the 1990s
1990, Dances with Wolves - Eliminated Round 2
1991, The Silence of the Lambs

    Braveheart
    Hard which one of the bottom 3 of the decade to vote for :pensive:

    Braveheart, Gump or Schindler? Going for the most self righteous. I did enjoy it when it came out and it has some good parts.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Forrest Gump
    I picked Gump because I can’t stand that bastard...along with anyone who uses the tired “Run, Forrest, run!” trope.

    Also, fuck Jenny.

    It doesn't feel good to vote Schindler out but it has to happen at some time. Now is that time.

    The best/most realistic character in the film is Amon Goeth; that's a fucking problem.

    Scent of a Woman was such a better film than Unforgiven, definitely should have won the Oscar that year.

    Ugh, I hated that movie. Anything with Chris O'Donnell is basically dreck and it gave us hoo-ah from Pacino.

    Yah, that Hoo-Ah thing was something, wasn't it.  Scent was hilarious - unfortunately for them it was not a comedy.

    I love the movie but just didn't think it was quite as great as Braveheart overall.

    I love Braveheart too - not sure which one I love more. Both have stars that kinda turned out to be jerks, especially Braveheart, but I'm not a cancelling type.

    What did Clint do? That’s the second time I’ve read something negative about him around here recently.
