Topping the list was the wartime romance "The English Patient," which reaped 12 Academy Award nominations, including best picture, best actor and best actress.

For its first few years of operation, Disneyland Paris was a laughing stock, losing money, attracting small crowds and providing ample ammunition for America bashers all across Europe. But the folks at Disney were patient. The company cut ticket prices and slowly, the tourists started coming. Last year, the park even made a healthy profit, $40 million.
