Glory
Driving Miss Daisy
Born on the Fourth of July
Two things I want to say:
1) I really admire Driving Miss Daisy. It's a really good film with GREAT acting, and it's not nearly as bad as it's made out to be. It's a film that has been unfairly maligned for the last 30 years. In fact, this year's winner (Green Book) has certain similarities with Driving Miss Daisy, and not just because of the driving aspect. It's in the same vein as Driving Miss Daisy, partly because they're both southern period dramas. Green Book actually felt like a movie from the late 80s/early 90s.
2) As someone who actually saw Do The Right Thing in a theater, I did NOT think it was anything special. It had some funny moments for sure. But the whole idea that the film and its director were "robbed" is a bit ridiculous. Decent film, yes, but not "the best of the year" especially among the likes of Glory and Born on the Fourth of July.
