10 Incredible Movies That Should Have Won Best Picture Oscar

1. Goodfellas

What Won Instead: Dances With Wolves If you€™ve never seen Goodfellas you may be asking yourself why is Goodfellas is number one on this last as opposed to Raging Bull or Taxi Driver? It€™s because by the time Goodfellas was in contention for Best Picture they had already snubbed two of Scorsese€™s masterpieces, so they should have known better. Secondly, to this day Goodfellas maintains 97% on Rotten Tomatoes while Dances with Wolves is at 78%. For younger readers, Dances with Wolves is Avatar, except replace the Nav€™i with Native Americans. It€™s good. It€™s not great. Goodfellas is a classic and my favourite Scorsese film ever, so I do admit a bias. In terms of quality, there isn€™t even a film nominated that year that is even comparable. Goodfellas is one of the most entertaining movies ever made. Once you turn it on, you€™d be hard pressed to turn it off. It€™s such an absorbing movie with tremendous performances by everyone in the cast. If you haven€™t seen it, stop reading and watch it. Agree? Disagree? Let me know what you think in the comments.
