m.imdb.com/chart/bestpicture/Here's the Best Picture Winners list... in the most accessible format I've seen. I'm not gonna count anything before 1930. Looking at this list, a total of 17 (maybe 18) films I currently rate an 8/10, with exactly 2 in every decade - but 3 in the 70s and 90s, and none in the 10s. But as for ones that actually make it......
Ones that are my win: (for their respective years.) All Quiet on the Western Front - 8.5/10 Mutiny on the Bounty - 8/10 Rebecca - 9/10 Casablanca - 10/10 The Bridge on the River Kwai - 9/10 Lawrence of Arabia - 9/10 The Godfather - 9/10 Amadeus - 9/10 Ones that I additionally nominate: (makes top 5) From Here to Eternity - 7.5/10 Around the World in 80 Days - 8/10 In the Heat of the Night - 8/10 The Godfather: Part 2 - 9/10 Annie Hall - 9/10 Unforgiven - 9/10 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - 8.5/10 The Hurt Locker - 8/10,,, maybe 7.5 and only by the thinnest margin makes it Total: 16 (8-8)

Around the World in 80 Days I gotta say, I'm amazed and delighted that someone else around these parts likes this movie, and enough to give it a Best Picture prize to boot! It goes a long way back. I loved the book already as a boy and when I saw the film the first time I thought it was a beautiful and very humorous adaption. The cinematography looks gorgeous, Niven is ideal for the leading role and has such a good chemistry with Cantinflas, all parts support this great story just very good in my opinion and the three hours always pass by soo fast for me. Having said this I also have to state that it's one of my least loved of my personal Best Picture Winners. 1956 ist just a quite horrible year in my books with Around the World in 80 Days, Bob le Flambeur and The Killing the three only films in the area around a 9/10 for me. |
