1994 was one of the best years for movies, but I don't think I will be watching Quiz Show again, unlike Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, Clerks, The Lion King, Ed Wood, Leon and Crumb.

Agree. Quiz Show was a great film, and I can watch it multiple times. But 1994 was a year of heavyweight films. I think 1997 was also, Fargo, Slingblade, Tatantic, Boogie Nights, Austin Powers, but I think English Patient won the Oscar. I would have given it to Fargo, a nearly flawless film.
Films these days are really lack in comparison. -

I actually think that out of all the nominated movies that year gump was the weakest, and I think if they had to do it over again shawshank or quiz show win exceptional film that just ran into a juggernaut named Forrest gump.

Yes, 1994 was a great year. Loved these movies. Here is my ranking of the films I like the best from '94.
Notice I said "like" not "liked". I like some movies more and some movies less with the passage of time.
"Quiz Show" has held up very well over the years. If I spot it playing on TV, I enjoy watching it again.
Terrific acting and a wonderful story with a lesson. A lesson that we continually seeing repeating up to the present. Lance Armstrong. From a hero to a bum. Just like that.
1.) "Quiz Show"
2.) "Pulp Fiction"
3.) "The Shawshank Redemption"
4.) "Forrest Gump"
5.) "Legends of the Fall"
6.) "Bullets Over Broadway"
7.) "Four Weddings and a Funeral" -

In many other years it would have been a definite possibility, but 1994 is one of the greatest years ever as far as movies go.

It's a great film. I'd rate Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, this and Shawshank all 9 or above. 4 weddings i'd give at least an 8. This was one of the 2 best years for American cinema in the 90's, equal with 1999. It's a wonderful film, the script would have won every other year if it weren't for the brilliant competition. I do think the script deserved to win over Forrest Gump, though I do really like Forrest Gump.

I had forgotten this film was among the nominees. All anyone ever talks about is Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, and Forrest Gump. I think Ed Wood was the real Best Pic of '94, but I do like this film a lot. This is definitely one of the stronger years for Best Picture nominees.
