Kramer vs. Kramer
51 head-to-head matchups and still no clear verdict on Kramer vs. Kramer. 53% means the room is essentially split — a genuine coin flip every time it shows up in a bracket. A Best Picture winner from an era when domestic drama could dominate the culture. Modern voters split cleanly on whether the film's emotional core still lands or whether the filmmaking feels dated. 1.4s average. Quick enough to suggest a snap judgment, slow enough to involve a flicker of thought.
Synopsis
Ted Kramer is a career man for whom his work comes before his family. His wife Joanna cannot take this anymore, so she decides to leave him. Ted is now faced with the tasks of housekeeping and taking care of himself and their young son Billy.
Evenly split overall, but not evenly split round by round. 52%, 47%, 71% — the balance tips in the finals and against it in the semis. The averages wash out, but the details don't.
At 52%, the matchup with The Iron Lady is the tightest in Kramer vs. Kramer's record — close enough to go either way. On the other end of the spectrum: The Bridges of Madison County at 100% is a comfortable win, while Sophie's Choice at 29% is the matchup Kramer vs. Kramer can't crack.
In Meryl Streep: The G.O.A.T, the path to the title runs through The Bridges of Madison County — and Kramer vs. Kramer takes it at 100%. A dominant champion.
