Amadeus

This episode we catch up to 1985 and evaluate the 5 films from 1984 nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. It's been a while since the last episode, but to make up for it, it's a bit longer than usual? Anyway, this will be the last decade in series that we look at for now since we've already done an episode on the Best Picture nominees from 1995, 2005, and 2015. As always, beware of the fearsome spoiler that lurks throughout, and enjoy! 00:00 Introduction 04:27 A Soldier's Story 18:25 Places in the Heart 27:40 A Passage to India 45:39 The Killing Fields 54:26 Interlude about ranking nominees by vote totals (Bob was right in his gut reaction: voting results are not made publicly available) 55:51 Amadeus 01:09:45 Films from this year featured in other episodes of our podcast: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Star Trek III, The Terminator, Dune, Blood Simple 01:14:40 Random odds and ends to conclude Intro and Outro music excerpted without alteration other than length and volume from AcidJazz by Kevin McLeod under a Creative Commons (CC BY 3.0) license: ⁠https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode
