I'd only seen about three of these movies, so I rated them on how well other people I know spoke of them. My complaint is that The Truman Show wasn't nominated for best picture. I thought Saving Private Ryan was better anyway, but it not being nominated is pretty bad. It was really good, probably better than weird looking movies about the Queen of England.
