      Nah..."On Golden Pond" was great but it came after a streak of two family dramas winning Best Picture ("Kramer" and "Ordinary People") so it didn't bring anything fresh or impacting like "Chariots of Fire" did... "Reds" was epic but ask yourself which one was more memorable on the long term? "Chariots" or "Reds", give me an iconic moment from both, which one is the most memorable? "Raiders" was the closest contender but I'm glad "Chariots" won ... (I agree with the others by the way)

      Sdk ElMaruecan Reds was a brilliant film that surely deserved to win, neither Chariots of Fire or Reds are as talked about much today as they were at the time of their release but none of that matters, what matters is how good the film is on its own.

      Reds was by far better but it was against the little engine that could, Chariots. Different movies but David vs Goliath syndrome all of the time. Ordinary People vs Raging Bull, Fargo vs The English Patient, The Hurt Locker vs Avatar. Sometimes my fave wins, The Last Emperor. Sometimes it does not. Its a crap shoot. Its a rarity that something or someone wins because of the art of it All and not just plain ole Marketing and/or Campaigning.

    My friend whilst Out of Africa was good but didn't deserve it, Chariots of Fire is a whole different ball game. It did deserve Best Picture because if you look at the techniques employed in that film such as cinematography, music, sound etc.. it is truly groundbreaking and it means a lot to my country. But it's your opinion sir and I respect it.

    I've wondered the same thing for about six years.
