Excellent example of what Best Pic should be

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 1999)

Braveheart has everything a Best Picture winner should have: great directing (by Mel), excellent acting (also by Mel), and a brilliant story line. We should hold all Best Picture winners to this standard. Also, Braveheart has a gritty realism that other movies should strive for rather than back away from.
