A Guide to Every Film That Has Won Best Picture at the Oscars
From Wings to CODA, here's how to watch every single film that has won an Academy Award for Best Picture.
[contd]
on the other hand, some of the winners on this list are truly immortal. it is hard to choose, but if i had to pick just one of those, it would probably be CASABLANCA [1943] – which BTW is 80 years old TODAY.
@grapho None of them as best picture. The problem is the Oscar voter and the casual moviefan who has to pay $$$ want different things from their film. Very surprised Return of the King was considered Oscar worthy.
do you ever use rottentomatoes.com? i like it for the very reason you discuss: they distinguish clearly between what the CRITICS think and what VIEWERS think.
so, for example, the current robot/horror movie M3GAN has a 94% score from the [aggregated] reviews, and a 79% score from viewers. i think that's fairly typical on that site – and, as you indicate, in the real world.
@grapho heard of it, but have not been there recently.
@GreenPaladin
did they feel truly 'best-picture-worthy' to you? it's interesting to see which ones were NOMINATED but didn't win in a given year. sometimes i like those runner-ups as much, or better.
