Oliver! Oliver! Oliver! Oliver! mutherfuckin' Oliver! - Please sir, may I have NO more? The year of 2001: A Space Odyssey to boot.
The Greatest Show on Earth - Famously bad choice, especially for the year of Singin' in the Rain, which wasn't even nom'd because of An American in Paris's win the year before.
The Deer Hunter - Beautiful but pompous even with sentiments I share.
The Broadway Melody (http://www.dvdjournal.com/quickreviews/b/broadwaymelody.q.shtml) - Okay, I can't hate it, but it has aged so, so poorly and is all but unwatchable. That it came out the year following the eminently watchable Sunrise (http://www.dvdjournal.com/reviews/s/sunrise_fsc.shtml) shows you everything you need to know about how difficult the "sound revolution" was on film artistry.
