Some of them were worthy . . . others not so much. American Beauty, No Country for Old Men, A Beautiful Mind, Dances with Wolves, It Happened One Night were okay movies but nothing spectacular. Grand Hotel, All About Eve, GWTW, Casablanca, Lawrence of Arabia, Patton, Platoon, Godfather series, The Silence of the Lambs were worthy.

Didn’t Nomadland win in 2020? Did it get skipped over? Are these supposed to be the years for which the Oscar was awarded or is this supposed to be the year in which the Oscar ceremony took place?

I amazed how many I’ve NOT seen. We lived in an area where there weren’t tons of movie theaters and my father rarely took us to movies. My mother would take us to some Disney stuff, like Flubber and Love Bug. We had television (free!) so we got to watch that. So I guess I never got the movie bug that seems to drive so many people.

Sometimes people will reference a movie, and I’ll admit I haven’t seen it. You should see the jaw drop.

Actually planning on watching “The Best Years of Our Lives” tonight.

If the theme of this year’s winner wasn’t essentially “accept LGBTQXYZ people as they are, or destroy the world”, it wouldn’t have even been nominated. IMHO of course. Maybe the competition was just that bad.

Ordinary Peiple over Raging Bull is a crime.

I’ve seen nineteen of them. Twenty if you count Man For All Seasons...which I saw in my Catholic school religion class just after it came out.

"The Full List of Oscar Best Picture Winners'

Haven't seen the most recent fifteen but saw nearly all of the older others on disk or tape.

I can’t believe that not one of those are a Barbara Stanwyck picture.

What a rip off!

How about a graph showing how good each movie is compared to how good we are supposed to pretend it is?

The presense of “Ordinary People” (1981) on the list shows that Academy virtue signalling is not new.

I’m stunned at how many of the recent ones I have never even heard of ...

Latest one I’ve seen was ‘96 - Braveheart.

Going back to ‘36 - Mutiny on the Bounty, I count a total of 20 that I have seen.

Most of the winners in 2000+ are not worth the gas to drive to a theater, much less the price of a ticket!

Most of the recent Best Picture winners have pretty much already been forgotten.
