BEST Best Picture Ever: Round One, Match #4

Additional info here (and cast your vote).

I'm voting for the film on the left.  

On the Waterfront won eight Oscars, including prizes for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.  Might it be the only film to win those four awards?

Yesterday's result?  Gone With The Wind (58.7%) defeats The Sound of Music (41.3%), in a match that I didn't expect to be as close.  Next up for GWTW?  LOTR.   Blow-out?  Or nail-biter?

Arguably, two other films are more impressive as winners among the elite awards: The Silence of the Lambs (Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Adapted Screenplay) and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (same).

And A Streetcar Named Desire is infamous for handing out three of the four acting awards to its stars . . . all except Best Actor to none other than Mr. Brando.

Chris, you can add IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (1934) to the list of the only three movies to win "the big five."

You can put me firmly in the 'anything but Titanic' camp!

No, Jacqui, no! On the Waterfront is a great movie, despite the Kazan ratfink problem. I saw this too late to vote, but thankfully the true classic won.
