What are three years in a row do you think had the greatest best picture winners?
For me it would be Silence of the Lambs, Unforgiven and Schindler's List.
HMS:
The Godfather Part 2, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest and Rocky
The Apartment, West Side Story, Lawrence of Arabia
No Country For Old Men, Slumdog Millionaire, The Hurt Locker
The Godfather, The Sting, The Godfather Part 2

PS. Could you imagine if the Academy had given BP to Fargo, LA Confidential and Saving Private Ryan/The Thin Red Line? They were right there... The 90's had some absolutely amazing Best Picture nominees.

The Godfather + The Sting + The Godfather Part II quite easily. Bump that forward and Cuckoo's Nest is great too, but you can't go wrong with both Godfathers.
honorable mentions
Sound of Music + A Man for All Seasons + In the Heat of the Night
West Side Story + Lawrence of Arabia + Tom Jones

Rocky, Annie Hall, Deer Hunter
Dances with Wolves, Silence of the Lambs, Unforgiven.
Actually, I think you could take pretty much any of the three winners from 1990 to 1994. The run obviously stops hard in 95, as Stephen will tell you.

HM: Schindler's List, Forrest Gump, Braveheart

I actually love Dances with Wolves and Forrest Gump but Goodfellas and Shawshank are my #2 and 3 movies of all times respectively so the petty part of me won’t allow myself to include them. I think Braveheart is fine especially considering the competition. The real drop off for me starts the year after. |

Also: You Can't Take It With You, Gone With the Wind and Rebecca is pretty damn unimpeachable. I also love The Life of Emile Zola and quite like How Green Was My Valley if you wanna make that run longer.

If The Power of the Dog wins this year, I'd be a big fan of the most recent trio.

Gone with the Wind + Rebecca + How Green Was My Valley + Casablanca is a timeless quarter.
I'm looking at The Apartment + West Side Story + Lawrence of Arabia too.

I think we've about covered the best runs. Silence of the Lambs-Unforgiven-Schindler's List has to take it for me as it has for many people. HM's to Hamlet-All the King's Men-All About Eve, Apartment-West Side Story-Lawrence of Arabia, and French Connection/Godfather/The Sting Also: You Can't Take It With You, Gone With the Wind and Rebecca is pretty damn unimpeachable. I also love The Life of Emile Zola and quite like How Green Was My Valley if you wanna make that run longer. If Citizen Kane had won in 41 39-41 would absolutely have to take it. |

This is very easy for me: The two Godfathers with the Sting sandwiched between them. All three of them make perfect Sunday viewings.

The Silence of the Lambs, Unforgiven, Schindler's List Was just thinking about this. The 90’s were a pretty great decade for film honestly. |

The Departed, No Country for Old Men, Slumdog Millionaire
I know I'm on an island of one when it comes to Slumdog, idc. Jai hoooooooooooooooooo!
Also, if Crash hadn't crashed the party the year prior, what a fine quartet run this would've been. Woof!

The Deer Hunter, Kramer vs. Kramer, Ordinary People. Sorry not sorry. I just rewatched The Deer Hunter recently and just loathed it. All timer performances though. The other two are fine films but I can’t call them great winners because of who they beat. |
