If you haven't seen Crash, you really should watch it. I think it's possibly one of the greatest movies ever. It brings so many issues the the forefront; racism, placism, gender issues, empowerment, prejudice, ambition, and of course plain old fashioned hate. Interwoven in the above issues are six distinct stories featuring Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, Terrence Howard, Don Cheadle, Ludacris, Michael Pena. And I'm leaving out strong performances by Thandie Newton, Ryan Fellipe (sp?), Brendan Fraser, and Jennifer Espisito.
Incredible movie and well deserving of the awards it has won.
You have to be joking!
The movie is on many worst Oscar winning movie lists:
LINK 9th worst on the list
LINK 3rd worst on the list
LINK 2nd worst on the list
LINK 6th worst on the list
LINK 3rd worst on the list

Brokeback Mountain was a far better movie, they were robbed of the Best picture Oscar.
I have over 500 movies in my collection, will never buy Crash, will buy Brokeback Mountain when it gets cheaper.
I didn't go through all of the links very far. I'd be interested to see the credentials of the list makers.
One said that
Babe was a better movie than
Braveheart. Not much more need to be said about their qualifications....
Thanks for the chuckle.
I have yet to see a single positive listing for Crash..... anywhere, Notice you didn't show a positive list, but then we both know it doesn't exist. Notice you ignored Brokeback Mountain, a far better movie....
Babe is a fine movie, so was Braveheart.
There are many non winning movies that are far better than Crash, at least 1,000 better movies than Crash.
Do the right thing is a far better movie about race issues, than Crash.
Not that it needs any help from me--it's greatness speaks for itself but here is just a sampling of folks who thought it was one of the best movies:

LA Times, USA Today, Time Magazine, EW, Rolling Stone.
Who was it you were quoting? Collide.com?
Good job finding the list, but there is no working LINK.
I see that your unsourced link shows mostly far leftist writers and critics drooling over a movie that is heavy on race issues. My lists uses a better metric by combining the viewers, critics ratings of the movie they watched.
Meanwhile:
Crash has a 74 Rotten Tomato rating, versus 87 for
Brokeback Mountain.
Crash has a 7.8 IMDB rating, versus 7,7 for Brokeback Mountain
Crash has a 66 Metacritic rating (The movie Critics total score, Brokeback Mountain has 87 score, meaning they got nearly universal excellent rating from the critics.
Here is the list of critics who liked Brokeback Mountain more than Crash:

Clearly shows that Brokeback Mountain is a better made movie.
