I love Pulp Fiction, it is my favorite film. Of those nominated, I would’ve given it to PF in no time.
I would rank the nominees as follows:- Pulp Fiction
- The Shawshank Redemption
- Forrest Gump
- Quiz Show
- Four Weddings and a Funeral
However, the true Best Picture winner wasn’t even nominated – Ed Wood stands out as one of the greatest films of all time. It did deservedly win Best Supporting Actor, but it was snubbed for Director, Actor, Screenplay and Supporting Actress

March 21, 2013 at 1:01 pm #543239Pulp Fiction is one of the 5 most importants (better) movies of the 90’s. The palatable taste and the huge success of a movie by a industry veteran made the win for Forrest Gump.
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Quiz Show
3. The Shawshank Redemption
4. Forrest Gump
5. Four Weddings and a FuneralThree Colors: Red and Ed Wood should been nominated.

Also, I’m surprised that The Lion King, which had become the highest-grossing animated film of all time, didn’t get nominated for Best Picture (over Four Weddings and a Funeral, perhaps?), only 3 years after Beauty and the Beast scored the medium’s first nomination in the top category.

I concur about ED WOOD…it should’ve been nominated.
I don’t hate Forrest Gump at all and think it is a very entertaining and fine film in its own right, but a win is debatable with Pulp Fiction among the list.
I honestly really liked Four Weddings and a Funeral and Quiz Show but I have no shame in saying this…as controversial as it may be….I do not like The Shawshank Redemption…..there, I said it.
My personal lineup is:
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Ed Wood
Forrest Gump
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Pulp Fiction(Quiz Show and Red are also possible replacements depending on the day).

March 22, 2013 at 2:50 pm #543249Pulp Fiction. I went in completely expecting an overhyped pretentious mess, but it blew me away. On the other hand, I went into Forrest Gump expecting an unfairly maligned great movie and was left very disappointed. I also think Shawshank is excellent too.

It’s about time someone said it. While I do like The Shawshank Redemption, I think it is highly overrated, and have a hard time comprehending why and how it is considered the greatest film of all time (according to IMDB voters). I suppose there’s not a whole lot to dislike about it, and therefore doesn’t have as many haters to weigh down its score? Where as a film like Pulp Fiction (which I prefer), I can certainly understand why it would be polarizing and why someone wouldn’t like it. Not everyone enjoys unorthodox (in my opinion, original) means of storytelling.
