Vidor Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I've often wondered, in how many years can you make a case for Oscar making the correct decision?Β "Sunrise", maybe "All Quiet on the Western Front", the "Godfather" films, "Casablanca"..."Schindler's List"?Β "Unforgiven"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
