1981 – Raging Bull

“Ordinary People” won the Best Picture Oscar in 1981, but against “Raging Bull” it shouldn’t have stood a chance. “Raging Bull” took many risks, the first and most obvious being that Martin Scorsese chose to film this movie in black and white. It may seem like a film about boxing, but it’s truly a film about the human experience, how we work through our problems, and emotions.
