Plenty of movies [I agree should be listed](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/1982-a-great-year-for-movies/688467/3) have already been listed, leaving me with just this to say about that:

I’d argue that **Sweet Bird Of Youth** , considered on its own, is a terrific enough film for you to see why it racked up award nominations for the lead actor and the lead actress and the supporting actor and the supporting actress — unless you start playing the Might Have Been game by comparing it to the Broadway version that so many of the castmembers were in beforehand.
