3. The Life of Pi (2012)
Alexander Armstrong says: "Everyone thought The Life of Pi by Yann Martel was unfilmable – a boy on a raft with only a tiger for company! But somehow, Ang Lee managed it magnificently." The director picked up an Oscar for Best Director and Mychael Danna also won one for Best Original Score.
