The OP is a douche and we will never hear from IT again.
"'Extremely High Voltage.' Well, I don't need safety gloves, because I'm Homer SimpsonBZZZZZzzzxx" - Frank Grimes

Yes, good call!

Personally, I've always loved Marty. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is how Herbie Stemple identifies with Marty. Marty/Herbie are both nebbishes, so whether or not a modern audience remembers it, its important that Herbie remembers it, which makes taking a dive doubly painful for him.
And then there's the fact that ON THE WATERFRONT (the title Stempel had to say in place of MARTY) is a movie about a guy who "takes a dive."

Well I guess some people like chocolate and some people like vanilla.

For what it's worth, "Marty" also won the New York Film Critics Award for Best Picture, and the National Board of Review chose it as Best Picture. It was also added to the Library of Congress's National Film Registry in 1994 (the same year that "Quiz Show" came out!).

I'm a nut about OLD films. I can't name the last five Best Picture Oscar winners, but I can name every Best Picture of the 50s and 60s without looking them up.
"May I bone your kipper, Mademoiselle?"

Quality aside, Marty was extremely popular in its day, and the show in question took place only two years after its release. Most sentient beings would have been aware of its existence.
Anyway, I'm a big fan of the movie.
"Haven't they replaced you with a coin-operated machine yet?"

"Marty is relegated to the ranks of obscure, undeserving, and marginalized Best Picture winners. Even film nuts have to scratch their heads and take a few moments when asked what film took top prize for the year 1955."
Depends on who you're talking to. When the subject of movies comes up, my Aunt always thinks of "Marty", the little picture that could. For a time it was a big deal that a low budget picture with no stars (at the time) won Best Picture for that year.
Besides, there are plenty more "marginal" Best Pictures, from "The Life Of Emile Zola" to "Driving Miss Daisy".

"I've been amazed how many average people didn't see much in "Marty"all I can do is emphasize the word 'average'."
One of the things that I love about "Marty" is that it's a love story about ordinary, everyday people. No glamorous Hollywood types here. It's one of the most realistic love stories ever to be released by Hollywood.
Ellery Queen (Jim Hutton) = sexiest man ever!

"Marty" is a great movie!
Jim Hutton as Ellery Queen - totally hot!

Keep in mind this movie takes place two years after Marty won best picture it's like if today a film nut weren't to know that "Slumdog Millionaire" won Best Picture in 2009.
