Even though they've won Oscars, movies like FordvFerrari with Christian Bale and Elizabeth with CateBlanchett are underrated and deserve to be seen again.
The Oscars are the pinnacle of achievement and recognition in Hollywood. In almost two dozen categories, various crafts guilds, like art directors, makeup stylists, writers, directors, and actors, vote for excellence in their profession. Millions of people tune in every February or March to watch such pomp and circumstance take place.
Ordinary People It’s bizarre that a movie that won four Oscars including Best Picture could be considered underrated but that just accentuates the unfortunate place Ordinary People occupies in film history. The Robert Redford film had the misfortune of going up against Martin Scorsese’s seminal boxing movie Raging Bull, which many consider not only the best picture of 1980, but also one of the best films of all time. [Both Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel picked it as the best film of the 1980s.
Directed by The Truman Show‘s Peter Weir, The Far Side of the World was nominated for an impressive 10 Oscars but only won two — Best Cinematography and Best Sound Editing — due to The Return of the King‘s awards sweep that year. The movie was a moderate success, but because the budget was so big, no sequels were made, and there are no remakes in active development. It’s a pity because the movie is a grand, lavish adventure.
