Widely regarded as the strongest year for movies in Academy history, the lingering effects of the nominees and winners can still be felt to this day— for good and for bad. It’s the year of toxic romance, ugly hats, questionable medical ethics, and maybe the best teacher we’ve ever seen. Several of these movies were absolutely foundational for their genres, and had they come out in any other year they may have even stood a chance at taking home the grand prize.
