Oliver! will win this poll, and I wouldn't argue with the idea that it definitely didn't deserve to win Best Picture. However, it's well made (by no less than Carol Reed, director of The Third Man), and I don't think it's the overall worst movie on this list of 10.
My vote is for In the Heat of the Night.

I actually like the film; I consider it good, solid entertainment, but nothing more. And aside from a few classic songs, this is IMO, not remotely near Rodgers and Hammerstein's best score for a musical.

The musicals here are getting hammered, but the ones here are all pretty good musicals by the standards of the genre (...it's just that some people hate musicals, or at least hate the traditional ones).
But the film that really should get the most votes in this poll is Tom Jones (hard to believe that actually won a Best Picture Oscar)

I seriously need to know who voted Lawrence of Arabia as the worst Best Picture of the 60's. This is one of my top 5 favorite films of all-time.
Did someone not read the poll and get a bit confused???

Voted Tom Jones, but I'm going to have to watch Oliver! again. I've only seen it once, a blind buy of the pioneer special edition laserdisc when it was initially released... Which cost a bundle, but I don't remember being disappointed....
