10 Huge Oscar-Winning Movies That Nobody Really Likes

10. Dick Tracy (1990)

Oscar Wins: Best Original Song, Best Makeup, Best Art Direction (3)

Dick Tracy is a picture that managed to take home three Academy Awards back in 1991, and was nominated for a further 7. Granted, the Oscars it nabbed were of the musical and technical varieties, but still... who expects an admittedly two-dimensional and noticeably naff movie like this one to have so many Oscars under its belt?

This isn't a film that has aged well at all, nor is it one that many people seem to have really heard or seen. Based on the comic book of the same name and featuring a purposely luminous colour palette, it feels like a tedious affair in retrospect. Clearly the filmmakers tried to do something different, but it doesn't quite work (a fact made obvious given that you never hear anyone talking about Dick Tracy: The Movie; this film barely "exists").

Warren Beatty was too old to play Dick Tracy, for one thing, and the film totally missed the mark in the humour department: it's just not funny. Nowadays, who does a film like Dick Tracy even appeal to? Who would set out to watch it? It's like a total relic out of time, and - in all honesty - has dated rather horrifically. Madonna, as expected, is cringeworthy.
