My Two Cents

This is a very strong year for movies! Some real classics. But, I have to agree with the Academy here. I think Rocky is the Best Picture! It's one of my favourite movies of all time. And though I love Taxi Driver, I have to be honest and say that I think Rocky is the better picture. But that's just my opinion!

It's also a very diverse group of movies. All the President's Men is amazing, but I think the award should have gone to Taxi Driver
