Oliver! - The first film with an MPAA rating to win Best Picture; and to date, the first -and only- G-rated film to win Best Picture (although some 1968 Best Picture winners were rated G when re-released to theaters after 1968)

Andrea, you are so very welcome. I love your clandestine replies to my comments on your contest entries. I never know where you're going to pop up! We haven't yet seen Bohemian Rhapsody -but we want to- so thanks for whetting our appetites :) Cheers!

I loved Oliver, it was the first movie I ever saw in a fancy movie theater in the state capital, and I will never forget the luxury of the velvet seats, the flocked wallpaper, and being mesmerized the entire time. Thank you for a reminder poem as I do believe I had almost forgotten until I read it.
