Titanic!

Pulp Fiction..but forrest gump really is a tight competition..
Goodfellas..
Raging Bull..
Apocalypse Now..
Taxi Driver..
A Clockwork Orange..

I'm with Strummer...

Raging Bull and Goodfella's are definites, and i'll be amazed if Atonement doesn't win best picture this year.

OK, these are years where I've seen the winner and prefered one of the others:

2006: Brokeback Mountain
1995: Pulp Fiction
1991: Goodfellas
1989: Mississipi Burning
1977: Taxi Driver
1976: Dog Day Afternoon

Good question. Obviously these will be my opinion and often not the widely accepted views...

2006 - Brokeback Mountain (Crash)
2002 - Gangs of New York (Chicago)
2000 - Traffic (Gladiator)
1998 - Life is Beautiful (Shakespeare in Love)
1996 - Fargo (The English Patient)
1995 - Sense and Sensibility (Braveheart)
1988 - Mississippi Burning (Rain Man)
1985 - The Color Purple (Out of Africa)
1980 - Raging Bull (Ordinary People)
1979 - Apocalypse Now (Kramer vs Kramer)
1976 - Taxi Driver, Network, or All the President's Men (Rocky)*
1964 - Dr. Strangelove (My Fair Lady)
1961 - The Hustler (West Side Story)

*Most any other year Rocky would have been a deserving Best Picture. It's an under-appreciated great movie. Just that it upset three all-time great films that year.
