I think that Quiz Show is the most impressive film of the five but several 1994 movies are better than any of the nominees. It was a pretty strong year.

what other films from 1994 would you put in the category as better than the 5 nominees? Not trying to start an argument. I'm generally curious as I might agree with you on some if I knew what they are

That's why the Academy has so many voters.. I think Pulp Fiction is one of the worst movies I've ever had the torturous displeasure to sit through (actually, Fire Walk With Me was by far the worst).

It picked up towards the end. Mad Max: Fury Road is the worst heavily praised movie I've watched.

How much did Miller pay the critics with that big budget of his? And the voters? I agree. Felt like another case of critics paid off and people following it because it just wasn't that good. Decent, but nowhere near the praise.

My vote would've gone to Pulp Fiction, but I agree both that & Shawshank were better choices than Gump. 1994 was quite a good year in general.

I agree. I would have ranked them 1-Shawshank, 2-Pulp Fiction, 3- Forrest Gump. I am glad someone brought up Ed Wood as well.
