Whenever people point to certain year regarding the best picture award and say 'this film should have won instead of that film', usually the two most common years I see are 1976, where Rocky won over Taxi Driver, and 1989, where Driving Miss Daisy won over Do the Right Thing.

Does anybody have any opinions like this on any other years?

Here's some Spike Lee flavor regarding the latter snub and Selma's snub:

“ ‘But that doesn’t diminish the film. Nobody’s talking about motherfuckin’ Driving Miss Daisy. That film is not being taught in film schools all across the world like Do the Right Thing is. Nobody’s discussing Driving Miss Motherfuckin’ Daisy. So if I saw Ava today I’d say, ‘You know what? gently caress ’em. You made a very good film, so feel good about that and start working on the next one.’ ”
