(Image credit: Walt Disney Pictures) Whether the Academy Awards areactuallythe world’s most prestigious award in cinema is up for debate. But ask any filmmaker: Even just being nominated for an Oscar is an honor. But how long does that honor really last? Since 1929, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have recognized achievements in the craft of moviemaking. From technical awards like Best Visual Effects and Best Sound to more nebulous categories like Best Director and Best Picture, the Oscars exist as a sort of de facto barometer for where cinema, at its current form, is at its current best. 32. Hollow Man (2000) (Image credit: Sony Pictures Releasing) Essentially Paul Verhoeven’s own version of the Universal classic The Invisible Man, Hollow Man stars Kevin Bacon as a narcissistic scientist who undergoes an experiment that turns his whole body invisible. When it becomes impossible to reverse his condition, he embarks on a killing spree against his coworkers, most of all his ex-girlfriend (Elisabeth Shue). While the movie has become a footnote in the careers of everyone involved, it did earn one Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects. It lost to Ridley Scott’s Gladiator. 31.

(2011) (Image credit: The Weinstein Company) 27. The Robe (1953) (Image credit: 20th Century) 26. When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1971) (Image credit: Warner Bros.) A fantasy adventure from legendary British studio Hammer Films, When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth imagines an alternate past where man and dinosaur lived in coexistence. The story follows a fisherman (Robin Hawdon) who rescues a beautiful young woman (Victoria Vetri) from being offered up as sacrifice to the dinosaurs, kicking off a runaway tale to escape vengeful tribes and even more vengeful girlfriends. With all its dinos running around, When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth earned itself an Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects; it lost toDisney’s Bedknobs and Broomsticks. 25. Atlantic City (1980) (Image credit: Paramount Pictures) Burt Lancaster and Susan Sarandon strike gold in Atlantic City, a critically acclaimed prestige picture released in 1980. Sarandon plays a young, troubled wife who leaves her dangerous husband (Robert Joy) and finds a new beginning in Atlantic City. She soon becomes involved with an aging gangster (Lancaster). Upon release, Atlantic City racked up numerous nominations at the 54th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (for Louis Malle), Best Screenplay, and Best Actor and Actress for Lancaster and Sarandon respectively. Unfortunately, luck was not on Atlantic City’s side, as the movie ultimately did not win anything. 24. Shadow of the Vampire (2000) (Image credit: Lionsgate) Shadow of the Vampire, E. Elias Merhige’s inventive homage to the silent film era, fictionalizes the making of F.W. Murnau’s celebrated Gothic film classic Nosferatu. John Malkovich plays the real-life Murnau, his crew becoming uneasy towards lead actor Max Schreck (Willem Dafoe) and his transformation into Count Orlok during production. While Shadow of the Vampire earned positive reviews, it was not much of a box office hit, with a limited release in the U.S.. The movie had just two Oscar nominations at the 73rd ceremonies, one for Best Supporting Actor (for Willem Dafoe) and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. In 2024, Dafoe starred in Robert Eggers' more faithful remake of Nosferatu. 23. The Wings of the Dove (1997) (Image credit: Miramax Films) In one of Helena Bonham Carter’s earliest starring movies, the actress plays a poor young woman, Kate, who lives in 1910 London subject to her wealthy aunt (Charlotte Rampling). Kate is in love with a struggling writer (Linus Roache), and hatches a plan to marry himandbreak free from her domineering aunt, and it involves a terminally ill American heiress (Alison Elliott). The Wings of the Dove earned enough positive reviews in 1997 to attract several Oscar nominations, albeit winning none, including Best Costume Design, Best Cinematography, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actress (for Carter). 22. Gosford Park (2001) (Image credit: USA Films) Fans of Downton Abbey may know about Gosford Park. This 2001 whodunnit comedy from Robert Altman was the original source material for the smash hit series before spinning off into its own thing. Gosford Park stars an all-star ensemble cast (including Eileen Atkins, Bob Balaban, Charles Dance, Stephen Fry, Maggie Smith, to name a few) who play wealthy guests at an English country house party that ends in murder. Gosford Park was a critical and commercial success, racking up numerous awards nominations. At the 74th Academy Awards, Gosford Park was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director, though it lost both to A Beautiful Mind. 21. Love Story (1970) (Image credit: Paramount Pictures) 20. Queen Margot (1994) (Image credit: Miramax Films) 19. You Can Count on Me (2000) (Image credit: Paramount Classics) 18. Under Fire (1983) (Image credit: Orion Pictures) 17. The Red Violin (1998) (Image credit: Lionsgate) 16. Prizzi’s Honor (1985) (Image credit: 20th Century Studios) One of director John Huston’s final directorial works, Prizzi’s Honor stars Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner who play mob assassins who are hired to kill each other only to wind up falling in love instead. (Think of it like Mr. and Mrs. Smith, set in the world of organized crime instead of international spies.) Prizzi’s Honor was part of Huston’s own career renaissance, earning critical and commercial acclaim, not to mention several Oscar nominations at the 58th Academy Award ceremonies. Among its accolades: Nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (for Nicholson), and Best Adapted Screenplay. 15. Dark Victory (1939) (Image credit: Warner Bros. Pictures) 14. Hell or High Water (2016) (Image credit: Lionsgate) Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan unleashed an unofficial trilogy of dark neo-Westerns set on the modern American frontier, including 2015’s Sicario and 2017’s Wind River. In the middle of them came 2016’s Hell or High Water, a critically acclaimed crime drama where Chris Pine and Ben Foster play bank robbers desperate to save their family ranch who escape two determined Texas Rangers (Jeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham). In 2017, during the controversial ceremony that ended with a mix-up between La La Land and Moonlight, Hell or High Water was quietly among the Best Picture nominees. 13. I Wanted Wings (1941) (Image credit: Paramount Pictures) I Wanted Wings, an inspiring aviation movie released when the United States had not yet officially entered World War 2, was also the movie that made Veronica Lake’s Hollywood career take flight as one of the most popular stars of the 1940s. The movie follows three totally different men – a playboy (Ray Milland), a football jock (Wayne Morris), and a mechanic (William Holden) – who become pilots in the Army Air Corps. Although the movie now, ahem, flies under most people’s radars, it still has an Oscar to its name: the Best Visual Effects trophy at the 14th Academy Awards. 12. The Absent-Minded Professor (1961) (Image credit: Walt Disney Pictures) 11. News of the World (2020) (Image credit: Universal Pictures) Paul Greengrass' Western drama News of the World, which stars Tom Hanks as an elderly Civil War veteran who must escort a young girl back to her only living family, was released in pandemic-era theaters in December 2020 before ending up on premium VOD and various streamers (like then-namedHBO Max) throughout 2021. All this to say: News of the World didn’t have the kind of release befitting the stature of a star like Tom Hanks. Which is why the movie feels forgotten despite its many Oscar nominations at the 2021 ceremony. The movie was nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Sound, and Best Production Design. 10. The Prince of Tides (1991) (Image credit: Columbia Pictures) Barbara Streisand sits in the director’s chair for The Prince of Tides, a 1991 romantic drama where Streisand co-stars with Nick Nolte. Nolte plays a football coach from South Carolina, Tom, who reluctantly travels to New York to meet with his troubled sister’s psychiatrist, Susan (Streisand). Amid the difficulties of confronting his family’s traumatic past, Tom strikes up a romance with Susan. The Prince of Tides has a small legacy, being referenced as a punchline in shows like The Simpsons, The Office, and Ted Lasso. It was also nominated for numerous Oscars at the 64th Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It lost to Silence of the Lambs. 9. The Black Hole (1979) (Image credit: Walt Disney Pictures) 8. Dragonslayer (1981) (Image credit: Paramount Pictures) 7. Amour (2012) (Image credit: Sony Pictures Classics) In this moving French-language drama from director Michael Haneke, an elderly couple and retired music teachers remain committed to each other and their comfort when one of them, Anne (Emmanuelle Riva) suffers a debilitating stroke that paralyzes part of her face. Amour earned critical acclaim from critics, winning the prestigious Palme d’Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. It was nominated for Best Picture at the 85th Academy Awards – it lost to Argo – but still took home Best Foreign Language Film that year. 6. Shine (1996) (Image credit: New Line Productions) 5. The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared (2013) (Image credit: Music Box Films) This multilingual Swedish comedy, based on Jonas Jonasson’s 2009 novel, has quite the mouthful of a title, which in theory should have made it hard to forget. Robert Gustafsson stars as Allan, an elderly explosives expert whose boredom at his retirement home inspires him to leave in dramatic fashion. In his memory, Allan reminisces on his life, which happens to include critical moments in world history. The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared didn’t inspire much from critics beyond amusement, but it still earned itself an Oscar nomination for Best Makeup and Hairstyling at the 88th Academy Awards. 4. The Fisher King (1991) (Image credit: TriStar Pictures) 3. Ice Station Zebra (1968) (Image credit: MGM) A frosty spy thriller released at the heyday of the genre, Ice Station Zebra – loosely based on Alistair MacLean’s 1963 novel – concerns a sub containing a diverse crew of specialists who are tasked with recovering a Soviet satellite packed with data that could compromise U.S. military security. Ice Station Zebra didn’t really have the mettle to mess with cinema’s premier spy franchise, James Bond, earning only mixed reviews upon release. But at the 41st Academy Awards, the movie was a contender for Best Visual Effects, which lost to a movie that everyone can agree deserved it more: 2001: A Space Odyssey. 2. Match Point (2005) (Image credit: DreamWorks Pictures) Before Challengers, there was Match Point. From writer/director Woody Allen and a movie many critics considered a return to form, Match Point follows a former tennis player (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) who marries into a wealthy family, only for him to risk his social standing when he begins an affair with his brother-in-law’s girlfriend (Scarlett Johansson). Though Allen has said in interviews he believes the movie to be one of the best of his career, the movie’s only Oscar recognition was a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the 78th Academy Awards. It lost to the more polarizing movie Crash. 1. Witness (1985) (Image credit: Paramount Pictures) Harrison Ford is world renowned for his roles in Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jack Ryan, and box office blockbusters like The Fugitive and Air Force One. But in 1985, Ford starred in the one-off Witness, a critically acclaimed neo-noir that sees Ford play a police detective whose job of protecting a young murder witness leads him to hide away in a Pennsylvania Amish community. Witness was handsomely celebrated at the 58th Academy Awards. Although it didn’t win nominations for Best Picture or Best Actor (for Harrison Ford), it still won Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing.
