1. Munich - 2005, directed by Steven Spielberg (lost to Crash)
You can sing your praises for Brokeback Mountain and yes, it should have beaten Crash. But the 2005 field of Best Picture nominees is probably the strongest of the past decade. It's just so disappointing that the worst movie is the one that won. That's why it still hurts.
When you've had a career as long as Steven Spielberg's and you've made as many good movies as he has, you've been robbed a lot. It's still surprising that Schindler's List is his only film to win Best Picture. It's great, but Munich is a stunner. This is Spielberg at his most entertaining. True, the politics of the movie are too difficult to forget, but if you can for a moment, Munich reveals itself to be a thriller above measure.
