The Oscars are almost here, and I love lists, so I thought now was a perfect time to rank the Best Picture winners I have seen in order. Some thoughts:
-I was a little disappointed that I hadn't seen more of the winners. Biggest omissions are Gone With the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, The Deer Hunter, and Schindler's List.
-Going through the list it really strikes you how unrepresentative the Best Picture Oscar is of the best movies of all-time. I can tell you that Goodfellas, Citizen Kane, Fargo, Social Network, and many others would be high up on this list if awards voters had been a little smarter.
-Crash is one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen.
