1994-film's best year from 1980--1926

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2006)

Along with Shawshank, Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, and Ed Wood, Quiz Show makes 1994 an unprecedented year of film. In the film industry the Academy Awards are the ultimate pinnacle. This is a shame, considering that the Academy is no different than a bunch of religious zealots who name God for their reason for killing, raping, and stealing. At least Turturro or Fiennes should have gotten a supporting actor nod, yet for some reason Samuel Jackson got one. Pulp Fiction was a great movie, but the acting was no where near to comparable of Shawshank or Quiz Show. Yet, the IMDb users usually get it right (Shawshank #2 film of all time). But, in this case they have failed miserably, as Quiz Show has a meager 7.4 rating. Rotten tomatoes however has it at a 9.5. Although I can become very irritable when reading film critic's reviews, I would much rather consult them than the Academy or IMDb, as the general public seems to be quite ignorant to the obviousness of a quality film.
