Best Picture Oscar Winners That Nobody Remembers

‘Out of Africa’ (1985)

Universal Pictures

If someone were to stop you in the street and say, “Quick! Which film starred Meryl Streep and Robert Redford?” would you even be able to think of the name? It doesn’t help that the film hasn’t aged well. It would be hard in this day and age to make a film about Africa starring two white people. It would be doubly hard if it were based on a book by someone with racist views. While Sydney Pollack addressed that head-on in 1987, it would likely have a different reception today, and so has been stuck into the “let’s just leave this one alone” pile.
