The correct answer for this year is a movie that couldn't even get nominated for best documentary: Hoop Dreams.

Great movie, no doubt! Should of won (and been nominated) for best documentary. IIRC, this was somewhat of a scandal and actually changed the way the nomination votes were done.

BUT, I still don't think it is is close to Shawshank, Gump, or Pulp Fiction, and has a somewhat select viewing audience.

My vote here was Shawshank Redeption followed closely by Forrest Gump, then Pulp Fiction.

As stated earlier... WHAT A YEAR for films!

1) Pulp Fiction
2) Forrest Gump
3) Shawshank

Four Weddings and a Funeral wasn't that great, and I haven't see Quiz Show.

1983 was the year that did it for me. Ghandi won over E.T. One of the several times Spielberg got screwed.

Hoop Dreams is a great film and it outclasses Gump, Pulp Fiction and Shawshank.

Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction and Shawshank Redemption are overrated.

I don't there's really much question that Pulp Fiction is the 'best' movie..but Forest Gump is, without question, going to win the Oscar everytime...it's just one of those movies. see: English Pacient, Titanic, Braveheart, etc.

I think the title is a little misleading, since it should be the best 1994 film. The films were released in 1994. Definetely, one of the best years in oscar history, 4 wed and a fun is a good movie, but the other 4 are masterpieces.

When Forrest Gump inexplicably won this over Pulp Fiction and Shawshank Redemption, I put the Oscars on probation.

When Julia Roberts beat Ellen Burstyn for best actress, that's when I officially dropped the Oscars from my consciousness.

[SomethingClever]

Even though Pulp Fiction is my favorite of these films and perhaps the most groundbreaking, I would have been OK if Shawshank had won, because it's pretty damn great as well.

Forrest Gump winning just made me want to puke.

Ghandi was and is 1000 times better than E.T.
