Perhaps thanks to a timely episode of Seinfeld, Anthony Minghella's sweeping old-school style three-hour romantic epic was as culturally revered as it was detested. Whether it was completely due to the episode or the film's glacial pacing and unabashed melodrama, The English Patient is the most divisive winner of the decade, and many people would s...
The film that made Shakespeare cool again. Much like Amadeus did to its titular character in the previous decade, Shakespeare in Lovecast the previously stuffy writer as a suave and tortured genius who is in the midst of a creative drought.

For over a decade, James Cameron's mega-movie was the highest-grossing film of all time. There is hardly a person born before 2000 that hasn't seen Titanic. The sheer saturation of the film into the public's consciousness could be mistaken for Titanic being looked down upon, like when a song gets played to death on the radio. Titanicis simply a tec...
Compared to the magnitude, length, and budgetary scale of the rest of the decade's winners, Driving Miss Daisy is a very small and intimate affair. A film that exhibits the possibilities of when a great script is matched by equally great performances, Driving Miss Daisy is the quiet and frequently hilarious story of the unorthodox relationship betw...

One of the only horror films to win Best Picture, let alone the coveted "full sweet," Silence of the Lambs just might be the most suspenseful film of all time.
