Grand Hotel (1931/32)

PLOT SUMMARY:

A group of very different individuals staying at a luxurious hotel in Berlin deal with each of their respective dramas.

AWARDS:

Wins:  Best Picture

Nominations:  None

BOB:

Alright, we're back a little quicker than the last time around with Grand Budapest Hotel, and a more positive review is on its way... I think.  First, a little real talk.  The first decade or so of Best Picture winners is kind of a slog to get through (especially for those who aren't film buffs), and there weren't many movies from that period that I was really looking forward to going in.  Grand Hotel was an exception, however.  I found the premise very intriguing, as the film was basically a 1930's Ocean's 11 in terms of star power.  Lionel Barrymore, Joan Crawford, and Wallace Beery all have Oscars on their mantle (or would if they were alive), and Greta Garbo (who would later receive an honorary Oscar) and John Barrymore were two of the biggest stars of their time.  I also thought the plot was promising, as I generally like movies that center around a variety of quirky characters going in and out of each other's lives over the course of a few days (think stuff by Robert Altman or, more recently, Paul Thomas Anderson).  So the question for me was whether this movie would provide a pay off on the (modest) hopes that I had for it.  And I think it did for the most part.  Since I've already rambled on a bit, I'll pass it off to Amanda... did this one get the taste of Cimarron out of your mouth or make you rue the day you had the idea to start this 86 (!) part blog?

AMANDA:

I have to say, this one restored my faith in this movie blog endeavor. As is often the case, I wasn’t sure what to expect as we started this one. I saw that it was almost two hours long and worried that we wouldn’t be writing this post for another two months… Fortunately, it caught my attention from the beginning. I found the quirky characters to be very entertaining.

The opening scene introduces you to all the characters, though it’s very confusing at first without knowing the backgrounds of any of the characters. Each person is talking on the payphones in the hotel lobby, but you only see pieces of each conversation. There's one character, Dr. Otternschlag, who repeats over and over, "People come and go. Nothing ever happens." I think he's right. For the most part, this movie was just a snippet of their lives and then it moves on at the end and the hotel stays the same (though there were a few noteworthy events during those couple days - I won't spoil them for our loyal fans). It almost reminded me of a Woody Allen film - I think he tends to do that. What did you think?

BOB:

First of all, if you were wary of this movie's two hour running time, you are going to be in for a real surprise when we get to some of the near-hour epics like Gone With the Wind and Ben-Hur.

Secondly, I'm glad you brought up the line "People come and go.  Nothing ever happens."  I think that perfectly summed up the theme of the film without being too heavy-handed.  Basically, we get in and we get out, getting only a brief snapshot into these character's lives.  The movie worked for me too.  It took a little bit to get going, but I very much enjoyed the third act where all of the character's individual storylines came together with a bang.  My only issue, and it's relatively minor, is that I wish there would have been more characters added to the mix.  In my opinion, Grand Hotel dragged a bit at times because I didn't think any of the five lead characters were quite strong enough to carry the load.  I would have liked to have seen a few more characters and subplots added (like those Altman and Anderson films that I mentioned earlier, which utilized 15+ characters) to move things along a little quicker.  Agree or disagree?

AMANDA:

I’m not sure I agree completely. I think there could have been a couple more characters to make things more dynamic, but considering that it’s from 1932, I think they did a good job. When you compare it to the movies we’ve seen so far, I think this one picked up the pace – finally. Once the characters came to know each other, the drama started, and things got really entertaining. However, I do think that if you consider how far movies have come, I think you’re definitely right. This film is much less complicated than what we’re used to watching now – it’s simpler and has a smaller cast.

As for the long movies coming up, I'm really going to have to psych myself up. I wonder how many times we'll have to sit down and start them over.

BOB'S FINAL THOUGHTS:

All in all, I enjoyed Grand Hotel and would recommend it to aspiring film buffs.  My only criticism of the film is that I wish it would have aimed a little higher and packed in more hotel-goers.  But asking for a film to operate on as grand a scale I've become accustomed to by Short Cuts and Magnolia is easier said than done.  Ultimately, though, this film did enough for me and holds up well enough eight years later to give it a thumbs up.

The only other film I've seen from 1932 is Tod Browning's exceptionally bizarre circus drama Freaks, which unsurprisingly was far too strange for the Academy to pay much attention to.  In my estimation, Grand Hotel is a worthy Best Picture winner, and should end up near the top half of my list when all is said and done.

AMANDA'S FINAL THOUGHTS:

This movie was a big improvement when compared to the Oscar winners that came before it. It seemed to be a little more complex and really kept my attention. I haven’t seen any other movies from 1932, but I’m hoping this is a sign that they’ll be improving!

IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS!:

Although they never appeared on screen together in Grand Hotel, Joan Crawford and Greta Garbo were often at odds with other during filming.  Crawford made Garbo angry by intentionally showing up late to the set and playing Marlene Dietrich (who Garbo, for some reason, hated) records in between takes, and Garbo only agreed to appear in the film after the director promised to bill her, and her alone, by just her last name in the opening credits, an honor reserved for only the biggest stars of the time. #catfight

One more bonus bit of trivia is that the five aforementioned lead actors in Grand Hotel combined for a remarkable twelve (nine of them failed) marriages between them.  And that includes Greta Garbo, who never married, but had a tawdry, Lohanesque relationship history as well.  This has nothing to do with the film, but I found it entertaining.

Cimarron (1930/31)

PLOT SUMMARY:
A newspaper editor settles in an Oklahoma boom town with his reluctant wife at the end of the nineteenth century.

AWARDS:
Wins:  Best Picture; Best Writing – Adapted; Best Art Direction

Nominations:  Best Director (Wesley Ruggles); Best Actor (Richard Dix); Best Actress (Irene Dunne); Best Cinematography

AMANDA:
This one took us a little while to get through (yes, that's why we haven't posted anything in two months.). We started it at least twice and ended up finishing it on our own. It was a little longer, at just over 2 hours, and neither of us had the patience to get through it right away. Once I made it through the movie, I had mixed feelings about it. It’s the story of a man named Yancey who's always looking for his next adventure. He moves from Wichita to Oklahoma territory. I appreciated Yancey’s sense of adventure and wanderlust in the beginning, but after a while in Oklahoma he wants to move yet again. His wife is sick of all the moving around and wants to settle down so he goes without her. I was a little surprised by that – it’s definitely not a ‘typical’ love story like we see in so many movies. It seemed a little selfish to me (especially when he left her to raise two kids and run the newspaper), but none of the other characters really seemed that bothered by it. What did you think?

BOB:
I think the fact that it took us two months to watch this one says it all.  The first item I'd like to discuss is how comically racist it is.  A son is almost disowned because he wants to marry a Native American woman, and the less said about the portrayal of African-Americans in this film, the better.  I cannot confirm this, but this movie may have created the horror/action movie trope where the loud, black guy dies first.  I know it was 1931, but jeez, it was tough to watch at points.  I generally agree with you that I quickly tired of Yancey's "wanderlust" (I'd say he was a complete flake... I mean, he left his wife and children for YEARS at a time to do things that were never really made clear).  Moving on, can I assume you were a big fan of Yancey's wife, who refused to stand by her man when he left town (in a stark contrast from how Queenie acted in The Broadway Melody) and rose to what I can only assume was the prominent position (in the mid-1800s) of town newspaper editor?

AMANDA:
You’re right.  Sabra Cravat, Yancey’s wife, was a little bit better than Queenie. She was more independent, and she stood up for herself when Yancey would go gallivanting across the country or when he’d suggest that they move. In the end of the movie you learn that Sabra really made a name for herself in Yancey’s absence. I was pretty impressed with her, especially considering the state of women’s rights at the time. My only complaint about her would be that every time Yancey would show up, Sabra would be right there to forgive him. It got a little old after a while, but maybe she was happy without him around. 

I think the end of the film was fitting. I don’t want to give anything away, but I think it was poetic justice for things to end the way they did. It wasn’t perfect, but I think it’s as good as it’s going to get for a movie from 1931.

BOB:
You make a good point that this movie was probably pretty progressive for its time with regard to how it portrayed a strong female lead.  Maybe that's why it tanked at the box office (Cimarron is the only Best Picture winner in history to lose money during its initial theatrical release; it lost $5.5 million, or over $83 million when adjusted for inflation)... hey oh!

AMANDA'S FINAL THOUGHTS:
Cimarron was not my favorite of the movies that we’ve seen so far, but it wasn’t terrible. I don’t think I’d watch it again or recommend anyone else watch it unless they’re really a movie buff. At just around two hours, it felt like there need to be a little more action to take up the time – after all, running a newspaper isn’t necessarily an exciting business.

BOB'S FINAL THOUGHTS:
I'll be a little more blunt than you and say that I think this was my least favorite of the films we've watched so far #smallsamplesize.  I actually enjoyed the rather surprising ending to the movie that you alluded to, but it wasn't anywhere near enough to outweigh the fact that I fell asleep twice while watching it and was really put off by the racist elements of the film.  To be honest, the best thing about the movie was its poster (see above).  For everyone who is expecting this movie to be like something from mid-80s Stallone based on the poster, you will be very disappointed.  

Finally, one interesting item to note about this film's place in Oscars history is that it started a decades long aversion on the part of the Academy to broad comedies and science fiction/horror, which often lost out to favor inferior melodramas.  City Lights is arguably Charlie Chaplin's finest film, and Frankenstein is a classic in its own right.  Both would have been vastly superior choices in my book (I'd probably give the nod to City Lights), but neither were nominated.

IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS!:
The main character, Yancey Cravat, was based on a real lawyer (so you know he's legit) and gunfighter named Temple Houston, who was the son of Sam Houston, the first President of the Republic of Texas.

All Quiet on the Western Front (1929/30)

PLOT SUMMARY:
A young soldier faces profound disillusionment in the soul-destroying horror of World War I.

AWARDS:
Wins:  Best Picture; Best Director (Lewis Milestone)

Nominations: Best Writing; Best Cinematography

BOB:
This was the first movie that was a re-watch for me, but I probably saw it when I was about 15, so I had a pretty vague recollection of the film.  And wow, I did not remember how much of a downer this one was!  Interestingly, it only took the Academy two years to repeat genres with its Best Picture prize, as you'll remember that Wings was also a war movie.  But the similarities really end there.  Wings definitely romanticized war, as there were very few on screen deaths and many more scenes that made war seem exciting at times, but All Quiet on the Western Front showed the other side of the coin, often explicitly showing battlefield fatalities.  After watching these vastly different views on World War I, did you have a preference between the two?

AMANDA;
I liked All Quiet on the Western Front better than Wings. I thought it was more realistic, and the special effects were more impressive. You're right though; this one is definitely a downer! There were a couple parts that were fun and playful, but overall it focused on the dark parts of the war. They showed the psychological impact that the war had on soldiers in addition to the physical trauma that is more obvious. One part that really struck me was when the main character, Paul, went home on leave, he had a really hard time adjusting to life away from the war. He was frustrated because everyone back home had strong opinions about the battle strategy even though they didn't really know what was going on. In one scene, his former teacher was romanticizing the war to convince students to enlist (this is how Paul was persuaded to become a soldier). Paul refused to support this propaganda.

BOB: 
I'm glad you brought that scene up because I was going to mention it next.  The second scene with that teacher in the classroom was easily my favorite of the movie.  As you somewhat alluded to, Paul really was swept up in the patriotic fervor from his teacher's speech when he was in school.  His reaction could not have been more different when he was back home for a brief visit.  I found the juxtaposition of those two scenes to be very moving.  As one can probably guess due to the more realistic depiction of war in this film, it does not have a very happy ending.  Without spoiling too much, how did you like it? 

AMANDA:
The ending of the movie fits with the rest of the film – it’s dark and depressing. There’s a little glimmer of hope right before the very end, but it’s quickly extinguished. That being said, I thought it was a good way to end it. I’d say that in general I really like movies that leave you feeling good at the end, but every now and then I also appreciate movies that accurately depict true events. I would have been disappointed if the movie had a happy-go-lucky resolution after it spent the entire film telling a story of the terrible things that happened in WWI. 

BOB'S FINAL THOUGHTS:
I really enjoyed All Quiet on the Western Front.  It's the first one we've watched that didn't feel all that dated.  It's no wonder that this movie was a lightning rod, especially in Germany, when it came out because it was the rare war film that really focused on the fact that the soldiers of World War I were not heroic gladiators out of mythology; they were merely young boys plucked from the classrooms who had their innocence taken from them at far too young an age.  In my estimation, this was a worthy Best Picture winner and my favorite that we've watched so far.

AMANDA'S FINAL THOUGHTS:
I thought All Quiet on the Western Front was good. The very first scene of the movie sets the stage, and that’s when I learned what it was about. In fact, a few minutes in, I also checked out the IMDb synopsis so I knew a little bit more (I notoriously hate movies when I expect one mood or topic and it turns out to be something completely different. I like to know if I should be in the frame of mind for a comedy, something more dramatic, etc.). Admittedly, I am not a WWI history buff, but I felt like this taught me a little bit about the war and history at that time. I'd recommend that people watch this one - just don't expect a comedy!

IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS!:
All Quiet on the Western Front was banned by the Nazi Party on the grounds that it represented the German soldiers as cowardly, and the ban was not lifted until 1956.

The Broadway Melody (1928/29)

PLOT SUMMARY:
Harriet and Queenie Mahoney, a vaudeville act, come to Broadway, where their friend Eddie Kerns needs them for his number in one of Francis Zanfield's shows.

AWARDS:
Wins:  Best Picture

Nominations:  Best Director (Harry Beaumont); Best Actress (Bessie Love)

AMANDA:
I love musicals, but I’m generally a little skeptical with older movies, so I wasn't completely on board with this one. But after being surprised by Wings, I thought I'd wait until I saw it to make my judgment. What were you expecting before we started it?

BOB:

I actually didn't know too much about this movie before we got going.  I did notice that it was ranked 84th on the Indiewire list that inspired this project, but that list had Forrest Gump at #77, so it can GFY.  Anyways... I'd agree with you that I was keeping an open mind.  First thing that jumped out at me while we were watching this one was how dated it was in some ways.  There were pretty ugly stereotypes of women (a character is pressured to quit her job by her guy and pretty easily caves in) and gays (a comically effeminate costume designer) that probably would get some blowback today.  While this movie doesn't get any awards for progressiveness, I guess those things were a sign of the times.  Did you notice this too?

AMANDA:
Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes I get frustrated with older movies and TV shows because of the stereotypes (this is why I didn't like the show "Mad Men" after just one episode), and this was no exception. It can be really distracting, but I think there were other things going on, so it didn't take over. Another thing that seems to be characteristic of older movies (at least the few I've seen) is that the acting is a little dramatic and cheesy. This was no exception. All the emotions were overdone and didn't seem genuine. All that being said, I did think the movie was pretty good. I'm ripping on it a little bit, but it was definitely entertaining. My favorite part was the old-fashioned dancing. The kick lines were fun to watch, and they reminded me of seeing the Rockettes at Christmastime with my grandma. What did you like best about it?

BOB:
I'd say that the sibling rivalry at the heart of the film was my favorite part.  As an oldest child, I could really sympathize with Hank (the older sister) when she was left behind after her younger sister Queenie's meteoric rise (although this has never happened to me personally :).  I will say, though, that Hank handled losing both the spotlight and her fiance to her sister much more gracefully than I would have.  If anything, I wanted to see more tension between the two sisters.  Were you Team Hank or Team Queenie?

AMANDA:
I was definitely Team Hank. I thought Queenie was too needy - she couldn't do anything for herself, and Hank enabled her. But I felt like Hank was a pushover when her sister stole her fiance. She was a strong character in other parts of the movie, and here she just lets them walk all over her. I can assure you I wouldn't have reacted the same way. It was tough to watch sometimes.

BOB'S FINAL THOUGHTS:
As was the case with Wings, there's nothing else I've seen from this year for me to compare The Broadway Melody to.  I'd say the movie met the tepid expectations that I had for it, but, ultimately, it didn't do enough for me to give it a strong recommendation.  My biggest problem was that I didn't feel like I was rooting for any of the characters.  To be honest, they were all somewhat repellant to me.  I don't blame the actors for that because the screenwriter here didn't do anywhere near enough to get me to care about them.  I don't mean to pile on about The Broadway Melody because I did enjoy parts of it, but I'd expect that it will end up in the back half of my rankings when all is said and done.

AMANDA'S FINAL THOUGHTS:
Overall, I thought Broadway Melody was a cute movie. The story was very straightforward and the musical scenes were entertaining. Sometimes I thought the singing was a little shrill but still fun to watch. I didn't feel very invested in any of the characters either. They all seemed a little crazy and selfish. I don't think it'll be near the top of my list in the very end.

IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS!:
Although some scenes of the film were shot in Technicolor, they were lost and are only available in black and white today.

NEXT UP: All Quiet on the Western Front

Wings (1927/28)

PLOT SUMMARY:
Two young men, one rich and one middle class, who are in love with the same woman, become fighter pilots in World War I.

AWARDS:
Wins:  Best Picture; Best Effects

Nominations:  None

BOB:
You can probably attest to the fact that I was really dragging my feet on starting this project up.  Despite considering myself to be pretty open-minded when it comes to movies, watching a two-and-a-half hour silent film (the only silent film to win Best Picture until The Artist in 2011) that looked like a 1920's Pearl Harbor didn't get me too fired up.  What were your thoughts going in to this one?

AMANDA:
I really didn't know what to think. I didn't read up on it at all and only heard about it from what you had talked about. That being said, I'd made the decision pretty early on to stay optimistic about it. I don't think I've ever watched silent movie before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I can't say I was very excited to watch a movie about planes. It took us a while to finally start it. What did you think once we got going?

BOB:
It really drew me in right away.  I think part of the reason was that this particular silent film used a lot of dialogue cards... or at least that's how it felt to me based on the others I've seen.  So it's not like I was ever really bored in that sense.  The love triangle is also a timeless plot device, so I found the movie less dated than it could have been.  What did you think about all the flying scenes (spoiler alert: this movie does not get cheated on them)?

AMANDA:
There were definitely a lot of flying scenes, but I thought they were pretty entertaining. Planes were still relatively new at the time – they’d been around 25 years or so – and people were still fascinated by them. They showed a lot ‘trick’ maneuvers, and I’m sure that captivated audiences. The one thing I couldn’t get over was how cold those pilots must have been. They appeared to be flying pretty high, at least above clouds, and they were also going pretty fast. They had goggles and old fashioned bomber hats, but nothing else covering them. I can imagine flying was pretty rough through any rain, wind, or if a flock of birds happened to get close – sick. Do you think it was realistic?

BOB:
I'm glad you brought up realism.  I'm trying to cut the movie some slack because it was 1927, so it's not like I was expecting something like Gravity here.  But this movie also won Best Effects at the Oscars, so I feel like I can nitpick a little bit.  There were a lot of planes crashing after being shot down, and not one went up in flames when it hit the ground.  I'm not sure why this bothered me so much, but I was almost laughing each time a plane went down, and it looked like a shot of a little kid throwing his toy airplane to the ground!  OK... mini rant over.  

Last question from me... what was your take on the movie's overt bromance between the two male leads?  For being such bitter rivals at the beginning of the movie, the final scene with them was like something out of Top Gun.  All that was missing was the slow-motion volleyball spikes with their dog tags jingling and jangling.  I'm always pro-bromance, but I'm curious as to what you thought.

AMANDA:

While I haven’t seen Top Gun, I think I know what you mean. The male lead characters changed their minds very quickly, and it wasn't very convincing. They went from hating each other to being best friends in what seemed like seconds. I was very happy with the conclusion and where everyone ended up, but it seemed a little far-fetched. 

BOB'S FINAL THOUGHTS: 
A quick scan of my IMDb voting history (no sarcastic comments about this please) shows that Wings is the only movie I've seen from 1927/28 (the first few Oscars honored films that were released between August 1st - July 31st rather than its current format where films have to be released during the calendar year... kind of confusing), so I don't have anything else to compare it to.  That being said, I don't have a problem with Wings being the first Best Picture winner.  Although I found some of the love triangle developments to be sloppily done (the girl the two leads are originally in love with very suddenly becomes an afterthought) and the issues I had with the aforementioned plane crashes, the pros outweighed the cons, and Wings definitely exceeded my expectations.  I will say, however, that I wish the Academy had created the Oscars a few years earlier, so that classics from the famed silent comedians Charlie Chaplin (The Gold Rush - 1925) and Buster Keaton (The General - 1926) could have received film's highest honor.  Check those two out if you like funny things.

AMANDA'S FINAL THOUGHTS:

Overall, I really enjoyed Wings. I was a little hesitant once I found out I’d have to pay very close attention the dialogue cards. You know I have a short attention span for movies (whenever I sit down to watch a movie I always think of something ‘quick’ I need to do, and it usually involves running to another room). I thought this one kept my attention, and I really liked the music. Even without dialogue, the actors were fun to watch, and you could feel a lot of their emotion. Like I said before, this was the first silent film I’ve watched, and I really liked it!

IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS!:
At the first Academy Awards, there were originally two Best Picture-type awards.  Sunrise won for "Best Artistic Quality of Production," and Wings was given "Best Production."  After one year, the Academy discontinued the former category and retroactively decided that "Best Production" (later renamed "Best Picture") was the highest award a film could be given.

Introduction

AMANDA:

Just before the Oscars this year, Bob and I talked a lot about the movies we’d seen over the past year and what movie we thought should win Best Picture. I saw more movies in 2013 than I’ve seen any other year, and this is the first time I’ve seen every movie that nominated for Best Picture. Needless to say, I was much more engaged in the award show this year and not just checking out the dresses on the red carpet (and that’s compared to the only other time I’ve watched them… last year).

As we talked more about the Oscars and what movie we thought would win Best Picture, I started thinking about all the past winners that I haven’t seen and how many good movies I was missing out on. So I said I wanted to spend the next year or so watching all the Best Picture winners. I don’t think I really gave it a lot of thought or really knew how much of an effort it would be, but when you said you’d join, I thought it could be a fun project.  What did you think when we first talked about it?

BOB:
I was into the idea immediately... even when I realized I would have to watch Gone With the Wind again.  Given my love of classic movies and obsession with ranking things, I don't think that revelation is going to come as a surprise to most of the people reading this.  I also think the fact that we're doing this together is going to help us stay on track and not bail on the project.

Before we get going, how about a little Oscars background info on each of us...

1.  How many of the Best Picture winners have you already seen?  54 for me counting the newly awarded 12 Years a Slave

2.  What is your favorite one (note: Amanda is going to spend an inordinate amount of time deciding on her favorite, as she is indecisive and becomes anxious when forced to rank things)?  As is the answer for so many of life's questions, it's got to be The Godfather.

3.  What one are you looking forward to checking out the most?  I'm going to cheat a little bit on this one and say that I'm looking forward to re-watching a lot of the classics that I first watched at probably too young of an age to fully appreciate (off the top of my head... All About Eve, On the Waterfront, Amadeus, and Unforgiven)

Bonus question: What happens if we break up without finishing the project?  I will flame you on this blog until the end of the time.  Seriously.

AMANDA:

The introduction of this blog has already taken a drastic turn and I should have expected that. Here are my answers to your questions…

1. I’ve seen 26 Best Picture winners. Yes, I know I’m a little behind.

2. As much as I hate to admit it, Bob’s right, I have a really hard time ranking movies – especially if they’re completely different. After looking at my list, I’ve chosen The Departed as my top pick (for today) because I could watch that movie over and over. I love it. I’d consider Crash and The Sound of Music near the top too.

3. Truthfully, I don’t know a lot about those that I haven’t seen. I’m excited to watch the movies that I always hear about but haven’t seen (In the Heat of the Night, Gone With the Wind) and I’m also excited to re-watch those that I’ve already seen and love. 

Bonus Question: We’re practically done already - I'm not too worried about it.

Here’s a little bit more information on how we’ll be doing this blog...

We are going to watch all 86 movies that have won Best Picture at the Academy Awards - that includes the movies we’ve already seen (even if we hated them). We’re planning to watch them in chronological order, starting with the 1928 winner Wings. After we watch each one, we’ll write about it and each give our thoughts about the movie. We’ll continue the same format we’ve had here in the introduction where we go back and forth, and then we’ll rank the movies once we're all done.

And anyone who knows Bob is aware of his love for trivia, so he’ll be including a little bit of movie trivia with each review.

There's an area for comments on each blog post so feel free to include your own thoughts or questions. We’re excited about this project, and it’ll be more fun if other people get involved. Enjoy!

NEXT UP: Wings
