	Well first of all using Rottentomatoes doesn't really work since their results are only valid for the last couple decades, but more important I think is to leave off the years, because otherwise it just becomes "Guess the Best Picture Winner from ____ year"

	Actually, I believe the author is using this list http://www.rottentomatoes.com/guides/best_of_the_best_pictures/ It uses an "adjusted" Tomatoemeter score (basically a bayesian average) to account for the relative number of reviews instead of the plain old percentages.

	Thanks Frug, and thanks Jimmers as the quiz works much better now methinks

	While I'm not surprised Tom Jones is on this quiz, I am a little disappointed people don't understand it. It's one of my favorites. In opinion Hamlet was much worse than Dances With Wolves and A Beautiful Mind, but people like different things. That's what's so cool about movies and theatre.

	Forrest Gump, Crash, Mrs. Miniver, Gladiator, Dances With Wolves and Braveheart don't belong anywhere near this list, in my opinion. There were much worse Best Picture winners than these. (Chariots of Fire, for example. One of the worst movies I believe I will ever see.)

	I don't get how Chicago and Shakespeare in Love aren't here, both horrendous films inexplicably picking up Best Film! Agree with most of the above though, far better films could have won for each of those years

	forrest gump, mrs. miniver, and dances with wolves shouldn't be on here. i do agree though with tom jones. that was awful.

	What a horrible list. No Ordinary People, Chariots of fire, or Terms of Endearment, but Forrest Gump and braveheart?

	Surprised at the number of complaints about specific titles included or omitted. Quality is all a matter of personal taste, while the best picture winners are usually a matter of politics and timeliness. Would "Kramer vs. Kramer" win in 2011? Not a chance. But in 1979, at the end of the first decade when the topic of broken families became a major issue, well.... Try to keep a little perspective (and quit knocking "Ordinary People" -- it's one of the most powerful domestic dramas ever) (IMHO, of course).
