I Watched Every Movie That Won The Academy Award For Best Picture And Ranked Them (#97-1)

I decided to watch every movie that won the Academy Award for Best Picture. This project was mainly for trivia/Jeopardy studying purposes as these specific movies tend to pop up a lot. I ranked them based on a combination of personal enjoyment and overall quality/significance. My current movie related focus is on the Golden Globe Best Pictures (the years they differed from these), all the James Bond & Star Wars Movies, and the IMDb top 250. Thanks for watching, and feel free to let me know your thoughts and/or rankings on these Best Picture movies in comments.

A well-deserved first place. You have my respect.

Glad to see Amadeus so high on the list!!!

That one really surprised me as I'm not a major classical music and/or musical fan. Something about the perspective of the story and acting/characters made it pretty special.

Amazing, congrats for the effort put on this video.

Thanks for the list. Would have been better if you'd included the years the films won, just for additional info.🥰 And your forgot Gone With The Wind, 1939.

I was thinking about putting the years, but didn't want to clutter the screen, was a close call. And check #16.

I'm not a fan of Lord of the Rings, but I strongly admire the love and care that has gone into every frame, I can understand why anyone would have it as their number 1. The only one that really shocked me was your placing of Mrs Miniver (maybe because you saw it as manipulative war propaganda lol). For your next project you should watch and rank every Alfred Hitchcock movie (around 53 films), you'll have a blast !

@mystic95 19 күн бұрын

Yeah, Mrs Miniver might have been a slight victim of war movie fatigue as it was one of the the last ones I watched. Wasn't a fan of the rose situation and cliches, was rough getting through it. Definitely need to get to some of the Alfred Hitchcocks, currently working on Star Wars/James Bond/Golden Globe best pictures.

The first academy awards had two separate "best picture" awards -- "Outstanding Picture" and "Best Unique and Artistic Picture", which at the time were both considered top prizes, so I understand why you didn't include it, but I'd love to know where you'd rank Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927). EDIT: Oh, you included Sunrise! Did you also include Wings? EDIT 2: Yeah you did lol. Nevermind.

@mystic95 28 күн бұрын

Yeah, I thought that was pretty interesting how it split that year. Seems like some people consider Wings as the main and/or sole one, but a greater majority count both of them, so I decided to include it. Expected it to be pretty bad going in (due to it being silent and so old), but it was actually decent. The plot really reminded me of A Place in the Sun.

@@mystic95 Between Metropolis, Dr Caligari, and Sunrise, it's hard to knock old German cinema.

From 1927 to 1967 I have not agreed once with The Academy's choice for best picture. And that was when Sunrise (1927) was given a special award for excellence before the regular one Oscar was given.

@MJTRaftery 25 күн бұрын

NO WAY does Lord of the Rings deserve to be #1. Maybe in the top 50...maybe.

@mystic95 25 күн бұрын

Even taking out personal enjoyment, I'd be willing to say that it's a solid ~9.4/10, and everything else in the list is maybe an 8.9/10 or lower. Nothing comes too close to it due to a combination of the plot/acting/theme/cinematography/effects/sound/etc. Most of these movies are top tier in a few or most of these areas, but LOTR/ROTK has it all.

Driving Miss Daisy is one of the best movie. It is 100x better than forest Gump or dancing with wolves.

I didn't like Titanic as much as you did.

@mystic95 4 күн бұрын

It was a bit long and they could have cut out the beginning part/'present day' scenes, but the Jack/Rose story was pretty engaging and the backdrop scenery/scope was top tier. It also got some bonus nostalgia points for me which probably helped push it up 5-10 spots.

@324cmac 5 күн бұрын

I liked Green Book, Spotlight and Chariots of Fire better than you did.

@mystic95 4 күн бұрын

Yeah, I can see the appeal for each of those/they have their niche. Green Book felt like a slightly elevated Driving Miss Daisy (which I ranked last). Spotlight felt too predictable/nothing interesting really happened (even though I respect the point/message/style. Argo was in a similar boat, but they did it a bit better). Chariots of Fire was also okay, but not a major Olympics/athletics fan (and it was forced in the Spotlight/Argo box). Rocky kind of had a similar theme and did it perfect.
