Another day, another Best Picture winner. Also, I've never seen Sydney Poitier in anything, which is odd I know. Again I blame that on parenting. This movie won four Oscar's in 1967, going up against the Graduate mainly, and is considered Poitier's highest film. The best thing was watching this movie on TCM, and getting the five random tidbits of information beforehand about the film, so now I can rattle off some facts (George C. Scott was originally slated to play the Sheriff).
2 Sentences or Less: Really really good movie, and in terms of that year's Oscar I agree with it over the Graduate. The seminal movie I've watched about racial tensions in the '60s so far.
Current Rank: Top 6 or 7... we're starting to get backfilled with great movies that are hard to rank.
