One of the ten worst Best Picture winners ever.


British woman goes to Africa, falls in love with a dashing man, who gets killed in a plane crash, so she goes back to England. What a movie! ......one of the worst best picture winners of all time. Boring as hell!

She wasn't British, she was Danish.

I like this movie a lot, it's beautifully shot, and the music score is one of the best ever created for a film. I was never bored by it. The only part about it I didn't like was the casting of Redford.

Most boring thing in the world is the posts like this - about THIS film being boring.
The user got paid for posting such crap nicely, maybe?

I agree. It is also one of the most boring movies ever. I can't understand how this movie won Best Picture Oscar over The Color Purple.

Johnboy1221, have you ever even watched the film? How you can call her British is beyond me. Did you not hear Streep speaking with an accent? What was your favorite best picture of all time - let me guess - either Braveheart or Gladiator.
