Best Picture Movie Marathon, Part 1

Part 1: 1980

MOVIES:

• Kramer vs. Kramer (winner)

• All That Jazz

• Apocalypse Now

• Breaking Away (hidden gem)

• Norma Rae

Apocalypse Now

This was easily Martin Sheen’s best performance. Also young Robert Duvall was my favorite part of this film.

---

Breaking Away

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. So sweet and heartwarming.

---

Norma Rae

SALLY FIELD YOU SKINNY BEAUTIFUL BAD-ASS LITTLE BISH THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS STORY TO LIFE. Also everyone is so sweaty in this movie!

---

Kramer vs. Kramer

I am so, so, so grateful that I wasn’t a child of divorce. This movie practically gave me an anxiety attack. But Justin Henry certainly earned his Oscar nomination for this movie (he was only EIGHT YEARS OLD. EIGHT!!)

---

All That Jazz

This self-indulgent movie describes itself perfectly in this quote from the film, “We take you everywhere, we get you nowhere.” HOW did this acid trip earn an Oscar nomination?
