Amidst a flow of sensational movies, this stands out as one I can hardly remember

Rating: Null/10 (6 October 2010)

1997! What a great year for movies. There was Men In Black, one of my absolute favorites. As Good As It Gets, The Full Monty, L.A. Confidential and I know I am forgetting at least another 10 great titles. And this one. I am not including Batman and Robin and Titanic for obvious reasons.
What I remember, is that I never thought that a story, that may sound extremely ordinary when summarised, could be so fascinating to watch. Here were these, at the time, totally unknown guys, and a director, that had done mostly obscure projects, at least outside of the U.S., could get so much done with so very little.
So, if I can't remember the particulars of this movie, it is because I haven't seen it since it came out on video (not DVD), since it hadn't been introduced yet. That's why I am not giving a rating on this title.
When the Academy Awards show came along, you sat up and took notice. What a memorable speech from those guys. That's what I remember the most. Also, the Robin Williams speech, where the tears almost overflowed through the small screen.
Since then, I thought about seeing it one more time, but I think that it would have been redundant. You couldn't get the same vibe as the first time you watched it.
