3. Raging Bull - 1980, directed by Martin Scorsese (lost to Ordinary People)
Ordinary People is a good movie, but it's still surprising that the Academy went with two straight intimate family dramas in a row (Kramer vs. Kramer won the year before). Raging Bull is Martin Scorsese's best movie and it's rather sad that he didn't win until The Departed. At least he won for a good movie. (He's not in the late Sidney Pollack's shoes. Could you imagine knowing that of all the good movies you made, Out of Africa is the one that won?)
As for Raging Bull, it remains a monumental achievement. It's Robert De Niro's best performance and no one probably did as much as he did to secure a Best Actor statue.
