Back to TOM JONES.
Yeah, it was terrible. And I think the original post guy meant the worst movie to ever win Best Picture.
It's pointless, and I wound up hating the main character.

Couldn't disagree more. Absolutely delightful! (I'm talking about "Tom Jones" here - not "Titanic".) I guess one man's elixir is another man's poison.

Then you are fortunate to be living in the 21st century and not in mid-18th century England.

Yes. In "some" respects at least.

<'only problems with it' 1) the script (pretty corny)>
That makes a lot of sense.

had the guy been nigerian, would you have dared said "truly an idiot - african i presume?" - and no, i'm not american, i just can't stand that kind of comment.
and by the way, the importance of a script is much bigger in america than, say, europe, where they consider directing makes the quality of a movie.

Okay, so apart from the script and the musical score it was okay? No worries. I would add the bit where he kills himself for her. Talk about shmaltz; in real life he might have tried to hang on a bit longer, I reckon

Bad story but great effects. However Titanic did have its moments.

Why? And what do you think would have been a better selection for that year?

It's a basically a Carry-On type film winning an Oscar - outrageous! And it's crap to boot. That said, admittedly, it was a lean year for quality films but in my humble opinion "This Sporting Life" should have won.

What do you mean "Carry-On type film". I haven't seen "This Sporting Life" but it just got added to my Netflix list
