Votes: 53,871 | Gross: $0.54M

7/10

While good, I didn't love this one. The acting is good, but the pacing, and overall idea, isn't great. I don't know - it felt a little hokey.

2. Wings (1927)

78 Metascore

Votes: 14,550 | Gross: $6.59M

7/10

Good war film. The battle scenes are really good, though the visuals weren't exciting in the edition I watched. Still, it's good.

Director: Lewis Milestone | Stars: Lew Ayres, Louis Wolheim, John Wray, Arnold Lucy

Votes: 67,722 | Gross: $3.27M

10/10!

This movie is awesome! I love everything about it. There's downtime for the soldiers, home time for the soldiers, and some of the best battle scenes ever for the soldiers. I can see inspiration gained from this film's battle scenes. They're great. All Quiet on the Western Front is my second favourite Best Picture winner.

5. Cimarron (1931)

Passed | 123 min | Drama, Western

70 Metascore

Not Rated | 112 min | Drama, Romance

79 Metascore

Director: Edmund Goulding | Stars: Greta Garbo, John Barrymore, Joan Crawford, Wallace Beery

Votes: 20,887 | Gross: $2.69M

8/10

Interesting character drama. The characters interacted very well, and it flows nicely, but I have no intention of watching it again. Grand Hotel was fine for a watch, but I'm not invested enough to watch it a lot. I do find it amusing that this film was nominated for one Oscar - Best Picture, and it won.

7. Cavalcade (1933)

Passed | 112 min | Drama, Romance, War

73 Metascore

A portrayal of the triumphs and tragedies of two English families, the upper-crust Marryots and the working-class Bridgeses, from 1899 to 1933.

Passed | 105 min | Comedy, Romance

87 Metascore

Director: Frank Capra | Stars: Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, Walter Connolly, Roscoe Karns

Votes: 112,346 | Gross: $4.36M

8/10

Very enjoyable. It Happened One Night is rather fluffy, but it's good fluff. I wouldn't mind watching this one again.

9. Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)

Passed | 132 min | Adventure, Biography, Drama

87 Metascore

First mate Fletcher Christian leads a revolt against his sadistic commander, Captain Bligh, in this classic seafaring adventure, based on the real-life 1789 mutiny.

Director: Frank Lloyd | Stars: Charles Laughton, Clark Gable, Franchot Tone, Herbert Mundin

Votes: 24,867

8/10

A little slow, but very well-acted and striking visually. The progression isn't incredibly strong, but Mutiny on the Bounty is a strong film.

10. The Great Ziegfeld (1936)

Passed | 176 min | Drama, Musical

69 Metascore

The ups and downs of Florenz Ziegfeld Jr., famed producer of extravagant stage revues, are portrayed.

Director: Robert Z. Leonard | Stars: William Powell, Myrna Loy, Luise Rainer, Frank Morgan

Votes: 8,996

It took me three tries to not fall asleep during this one. Yeah, it isn't good. Bleh.

11. The Life of Emile Zola (1937)

Passed | 116 min | Biography, Drama

The biopic of the famous French muckraking writer and his involvement in fighting the injustice of the Dreyfus Affair.

Director: William Dieterle | Stars: Paul Muni, Gale Sondergaard, Joseph Schildkraut, Gloria Holden

Votes: 9,025

6/10

Why did they make a biopic based on a boring person?

12. You Can't Take It with You (1938)

Passed | 126 min | Comedy, Drama, Romance

The son of a snobbish Wall Street banker becomes engaged to a woman from a good-natured but decidedly eccentric family not realizing that his father is trying to force her family from their home for a real estate development.

Director: Frank Capra | Stars: Jean Arthur, James Stewart, Lionel Barrymore, Edward Arnold

Votes: 27,922 | Gross: $4.66M

8/10

Very enjoyable and charming. Surprisingly, James Stewart isn't the best part. I just can't remember the name of the main character who steals the show. I quite liked this one.

13. Gone with the Wind (1939)

Passed | 238 min | Drama, Romance, War

97 Metascore

A sheltered and manipulative Southern belle and a roguish profiteer face off in a turbulent romance as the society around them crumbles with the end of slavery and is rebuilt during the Civil War and Reconstruction periods.

Directors: Victor Fleming, George Cukor, Sam Wood | Stars: Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Thomas Mitchell, Barbara O'Neil

Votes: 334,500 | Gross: $198.68M

7/10

Everyone knows about this film, but not everyone wants to spend the four hours to watch it. I did, and I liked it well enough, but Gone with the Wind is a meandering and not great. I'd be okay if I never sought out this film again, but I'm glad I watched it.

14. Rebecca (1940)

Approved | 130 min | Drama, Mystery, Romance

86 Metascore

A self-conscious woman juggles adjusting to her new role as an aristocrat's wife and avoiding being intimidated by his first wife's spectral presence.

Director: Alfred Hitchcock | Stars: Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, George Sanders, Judith Anderson

Votes: 146,854 | Gross: $4.36M

9/10

Hitchcock's only Best Picture winner, and I love it. Everything is great about this film. While not my favourite anything, I dig this film.

Passed | 118 min | Drama, Family

88 Metascore

6/10

How boring was my film? This boring.

16. Mrs. Miniver (1942)

Approved | 134 min | Drama, Romance, War

A British family struggles to survive the first months of World War II.

Director: William Wyler | Stars: Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Teresa Wright, May Whitty

Votes: 19,479 | Gross: $13.50M

7/10

A nice look at war at the home front. Not spectacular, and the ending is sad, but I liked Mrs. Miniver.

17. Casablanca (1942)

PG | 102 min | Drama, Romance, War

100 Metascore

A cynical expatriate American cafe owner struggles to decide whether or not to help his former lover and her fugitive husband escape the Nazis in French Morocco.

Director: Michael Curtiz | Stars: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains

Votes: 606,405 | Gross: $1.02M

8/10

Another film everyone knows! This film deserves its acclaim, but maybe not the exact amount. While I don't love this film, as many seem to do, I dig it. Bogart is good, but Bergman is my favourite part.

18. Going My Way (1944)

Passed | 126 min | Comedy, Drama, Music

90 Metascore

When young Father O'Malley arrives at St. Dominic's, old Father Fitzgibbon doesn't think much of the church's newest member.

Director: Leo McCarey | Stars: Bing Crosby, Barry Fitzgerald, Frank McHugh, James Brown

Votes: 13,463 | Gross: $16.30M

7/10

Not bad, but not great, either. I liked the cast, but I wasn't too into the story. Still, there are worse.

19. The Lost Weekend (1945)

Passed | 101 min | Drama, Film-Noir

The desperate life of a chronic alcoholic is followed through a four-day drinking bout.

Director: Billy Wilder | Stars: Ray Milland, Jane Wyman, Phillip Terry, Howard Da Silva

Votes: 40,214 | Gross: $9.46M

5/10

Slow and boring. I got tired of his incessant drinking after about half an hour. I wanted to watch something else.

20. The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)

Approved | 170 min | Drama, Romance, War

93 Metascore

Three World War II veterans, two of them traumatized or disabled, return home to the American midwest to discover that they and their families have been irreparably changed.

Director: William Wyler | Stars: Myrna Loy, Dana Andrews, Fredric March, Teresa Wright

Votes: 70,600 | Gross: $23.65M

7/10

Not a lot happens in this film. It was nice to see a war film focused on returning vets, but it was just kind of there, and not spectacular.

21. Gentleman's Agreement (1947)

Not Rated | 118 min | Drama, Romance

A reporter pretends to be Jewish in order to cover a story on anti-Semitism, and personally discovers the true depths of bigotry and hatred.

Director: Elia Kazan | Stars: Gregory Peck, Dorothy McGuire, John Garfield, Celeste Holm

Votes: 17,785

7/10

Well-acted, good drama, and strong writing, but not my type of film. I liked this here film, but I wasn't in love with any of it. Still, there are plenty of worse films to watch.

22. Hamlet (1948)

Approved | 154 min | Drama

82 Metascore

Prince Hamlet struggles over whether or not he should kill his uncle, whom he suspects has murdered his father, the former king.

Director: Laurence Olivier | Stars: Laurence Olivier, Jean Simmons, John Laurie, Esmond Knight

Votes: 18,411 | Gross: $7.09M

8/10

Quite good, quite good. I liked Olivier's adaption of my favourite Shakespeare play. I liked this a fair amount. I liked how Olivier kept everything in the same place and time, and I knew he would have trimmed a lot, which didn't really affect its quality.

23. All the King's Men (1949)

Approved | 110 min | Drama, Film-Noir

The rise and fall of a corrupt politician, who makes his friends richer and retains power by dint of a populist appeal.

Director: Robert Rossen | Stars: Broderick Crawford, John Ireland, Joanne Dru, John Derek

Votes: 16,599

9/10

I was hesitant to even watch this because it sounded horrible, but I loved All the King's Men the first time I watched it. Not sure why, really, but it's just awesome. Everything works from the dialogue to the editing. It's just excellent. My third-favourite Best Picture winner.

24. All About Eve (1950)

Passed | 138 min | Drama

98 Metascore

A seemingly timid but secretly ruthless ingénue insinuates herself into the lives of an aging Broadway star and her circle of theater friends.

Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz | Stars: Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm

Votes: 138,839 | Gross: $0.01M

7/10

Well-written, but my praise doesn't go much farther. I suppose All about Eve isn't horrible or a waste of time, but I wasn't that impressed. It has some good aspects, but some poor ones. I don't really want to revisit this, but it isn't bad - just not my thing.

25. An American in Paris (1951)

Passed | 114 min | Drama, Musical, Romance

83 Metascore

Three friends struggle to find work in Paris. Things become more complicated when two of them fall in love with the same woman.

Director: Vincente Minnelli | Stars: Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron, Oscar Levant, Georges Guétary

Votes: 36,908 | Gross: $4.50M

8/10

I'm not surprised a 50s musical won Best Picture, especially this one. I quite liked it. While not a favourite, An American in Paris is a good watch. Far from perfect, it's entertaining.

26. The Greatest Show on Earth (1952)

Passed | 152 min | Drama, Family, Romance

76 Metascore

The dramatic lives of trapeze artists, a clown, and an elephant trainer are told against a background of circus spectacle.

Director: Cecil B. DeMille | Stars: James Stewart, Charlton Heston, Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde

Votes: 16,066 | Gross: $36.00M

5/10

Unfortunately, the title and quality don't match. This is not the greatest show anywhere, let alone all of Earth. It's boring and poorly made. Bleh.

27. From Here to Eternity (1953)

Passed | 118 min | Drama, Romance, War

85 Metascore

At a U.S. Army base in 1941 Hawaii, a private is cruelly punished for not boxing on his unit's team, while his commanding officer's wife and top aide begin a tentative affair.

Director: Fred Zinnemann | Stars: Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Deborah Kerr, Donna Reed

Votes: 50,848 | Gross: $30.50M

8/10

A war film! Hurrah! It's great. Everyone did a good job on this film, and I don't just mean the cast. The crew helped make a great film. I just don't love it as much as others. Still, it's worth watching a few times.

28. On the Waterfront (1954)

Approved | 108 min | Crime, Drama, Thriller

91 Metascore

An ex-prize fighter turned New Jersey longshoreman struggles to stand up to his corrupt union bosses, including his older brother, as he starts to connect with the grieving sister of one of the syndicate's victims.

Director: Elia Kazan | Stars: Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger

Votes: 165,040 | Gross: $9.60M

6/10

Boring. Shabby acting. Meandering pace. Lackluster plot. Not great.

29. Marty (1955)

Not Rated | 90 min | Drama, Romance

82 Metascore

A middle-aged butcher and a school teacher who have given up on the idea of love meet at a dance and fall for each other.

Director: Delbert Mann | Stars: Ernest Borgnine, Betsy Blair, Esther Minciotti, Augusta Ciolli

Votes: 27,045

7/10

A charming little film with no more than fluff, but it's good fluff. Borgnine did a good job as the social outcast, and the writing isn't bad, but it's rather shallow.

30. Around the World in 80 Days (1956)

G | 175 min | Adventure, Comedy, Family

69 Metascore

A Victorian Englishman bets that with the new steamships and railways he can circumnavigate the globe in eighty days.

Directors: Michael Anderson, John Farrow | Stars: David Niven, Cantinflas, Finlay Currie, Robert Morley

Votes: 29,727 | Gross: $42.00M

6/10

Has it ended yet? No? Crap. How about now? It's still going? I have to endure another two hours of nothing but empty, pretty pictures? That's how I felt watching this. It's not bad, but it was slow and boring, and nothing more than fluff.

31. The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)

PG | 161 min | Adventure, Drama, War

88 Metascore

British POWs are forced to build a railway bridge across the river Kwai for their Japanese captors in occupied Burma, not knowing that the allied forces are planning a daring commando raid through the jungle to destroy it.

Director: David Lean | Stars: William Holden, Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins, Sessue Hayakawa

Votes: 233,446 | Gross: $44.91M

8/10

Another great war film! Hurrah! I saw this before I sought the list, but I wouldn't mind getting on DVD or Blu-ray. It's very, very good. It's great from all angles.

32. Gigi (1958)

G | 115 min | Comedy, Musical, Romance

82 Metascore

Weary of the conventions of Parisian society, a rich playboy and a youthful courtesan-in-training enjoy a platonic friendship which may not stay platonic for long.

Directors: Vincente Minnelli, Charles Walters | Stars: Leslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan, Hermione Gingold

Votes: 24,514

5/10

It's a cure for insomnia! Pretty pictures, boring everything else.

33. Ben-Hur (1959)

G | 212 min | Adventure, Drama

90 Metascore

After a Jewish prince is betrayed and sent into slavery by a Roman friend in 1st-century Jerusalem, he regains his freedom and comes back for revenge.

Director: William Wyler | Stars: Charlton Heston, Jack Hawkins, Stephen Boyd, Haya Harareet

Votes: 253,822 | Gross: $74.70M

8/10

Yes, the chariot race is great, and I'd say the best part of the film, but it's certainly not the only good part. A little long, but Ben-Hur is another great one. Finding time to watch it is the toughest part.

34. The Apartment (1960)

Approved | 125 min | Comedy, Drama, Romance

94 Metascore

A Manhattan insurance clerk tries to rise in his company by letting its executives use his apartment for trysts, but complications and a romance of his own ensue.

Director: Billy Wilder | Stars: Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, Fred MacMurray, Ray Walston

Votes: 197,009 | Gross: $18.60M

8/10

Entertaining, if silly, and fluffy. Fluff isn't bad, and this proves it. I enjoyed Lemmon the most, as I think we were supposed to do. It's a solid film, if not a favourite.

35. West Side Story (1961)

Approved | 153 min | Crime, Drama, Musical

86 Metascore

Two youngsters from rival New York City gangs fall in love, but tensions between their respective friends build toward tragedy.

Directors: Jerome Robbins, Robert Wise | Stars: Natalie Wood, George Chakiris, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn

Votes: 121,263 | Gross: $43.66M

9/10

This film works on a lot of levels. It's an interesting update on Romeo and Juliet.

36. Lawrence of Arabia (1962)

Approved | 218 min | Adventure, Biography, Drama

100 Metascore

The story of T.E. Lawrence, the English officer who successfully united and led the diverse, often warring, Arab tribes during World War I in order to fight the Turks.

Director: David Lean | Stars: Peter O'Toole, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins

Votes: 314,586 | Gross: $44.82M

9/10

An excellent film. The second half is a little big of a slog, though still quite good, but I love the first half. Lawrence of Arabia has always been near the top of my favourites list. It's awesome. My 4th favourite Best Picture winner.

37. Tom Jones (1963)

Not Rated | 129 min | Adventure, Comedy, History

77 Metascore

The romantic and chivalrous adventures of adopted bastard Tom Jones in 18th-century England.

Director: Tony Richardson | Stars: Albert Finney, Susannah York, George Devine, Rachel Kempson

Votes: 14,269 | Gross: $37.60M

7/10

Another fluffy film, and another good fluffy film. Finney was quite entertaining, but there's not a lot of substance here. Oh, well.

38. My Fair Lady (1964)

G | 170 min | Drama, Family, Musical

95 Metascore

In 1910s London, snobbish phonetics professor Henry Higgins agrees to a wager that he can make crude flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, presentable in high society.

Director: George Cukor | Stars: Audrey Hepburn, Rex Harrison, Stanley Holloway, Wilfrid Hyde-White

Votes: 101,890 | Gross: $72.00M

8/10

Entertaining as an entertaining thing. It's very-well made and entertaining. I liked the songs and acting and writing. It's really good.

39. The Sound of Music (1965)

G | 172 min | Biography, Drama, Family

63 Metascore

A young novice is sent by her convent in 1930s Austria to become a governess to the seven children of a widowed naval officer.

Director: Robert Wise | Stars: Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer, Eleanor Parker, Richard Haydn

Votes: 261,270 | Gross: $163.21M

7/10

Not amazing, but good and worth watching. I like things set in World War II, and this is, and is good. Not bad, not bad.

40. A Man for All Seasons (1966)

G | 120 min | Biography, Drama, History

72 Metascore

The story of Sir Thomas More, who stood up to King Henry VIII when the King rejected the Roman Catholic Church to obtain a divorce and remarry.

Director: Fred Zinnemann | Stars: Paul Scofield, Wendy Hiller, Robert Shaw, Leo McKern

Votes: 37,175 | Gross: $28.35M

6/10

Kind of boring. I didn't enjoy it.

41. In the Heat of the Night (1967)

Approved | 110 min | Drama, Mystery, Thriller

76 Metascore

A black Philadelphia police detective is mistakenly suspected of a local murder while passing through a racially hostile Mississippi town, and after being cleared is reluctantly asked by the police chief to investigate the case.

Director: Norman Jewison | Stars: Sidney Poitier, Rod Steiger, Warren Oates, Lee Grant

Votes: 83,618 | Gross: $24.38M

9/10

An excellent murder mystery, with some social undertones. I like how they never drop the N-word because of censorship, but the writers found other ways for the racists to be racist.

42. Oliver! (1968)

G | 153 min | Drama, Family, Musical

74 Metascore

After being sold to a mortician, young orphan Oliver Twist runs away and meets a group of boys trained to be pickpockets by an elderly mentor in 1830s London.

Director: Carol Reed | Stars: Mark Lester, Ron Moody, Shani Wallis, Oliver Reed

Votes: 41,431 | Gross: $16.80M

7/10

I know it's a controversial winner because of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but, and I know I'm in the minority here, I think Oliver! is better. It's not boring, unlike 2001: A Space Odyssey.

43. Midnight Cowboy (1969)

R | 113 min | Drama

79 Metascore

A naive hustler travels from Texas to New York City to seek personal fortune, finding a new friend in the process.

Director: John Schlesinger | Stars: Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight, Sylvia Miles, John McGiver

Votes: 120,912 | Gross: $44.79M

5/10

Boring, boring, and boring. I didn't care about anything or what would happen to anyone. It's bland as toast.

44. Patton (1970)

GP | 172 min | Biography, Drama, War

86 Metascore

The World War II phase of the career of controversial American general George S. Patton.

Director: Franklin J. Schaffner | Stars: George C. Scott, Karl Malden, Stephen Young, Michael Strong

Votes: 108,011 | Gross: $61.70M

8/10

Not the best-made film, but it's still great. George C. Scott is great as General George S. Patton, and the rest is solid, too. Great stuff.

45. The French Connection (1971)

R | 104 min | Action, Crime, Drama

94 Metascore

A pair of NYPD detectives in the Narcotics Bureau stumble onto a heroin smuggling ring based in Marseilles, but stopping them and capturing their leaders proves an elusive goal.

Director: William Friedkin | Stars: Gene Hackman, Roy Scheider, Fernando Rey, Tony Lo Bianco

Votes: 135,804 | Gross: $15.63M

8/10

Yet another controversial winner because of its competition with a Stanley Kubrick film, but it's, yet again, better than the Kubrick film in question. French Connection is quite entertaining, and well-deserving of its praise.

46. The Godfather (1972)

R | 175 min | Crime, Drama

100 Metascore

The aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son.

Director: Francis Ford Coppola | Stars: Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Diane Keaton

Votes: 2,014,449 | Gross: $134.97M

5/10

I hated everybody in this, and no one had a good performance. It's boring as a boring thing, and just sloppy. I lost interest about twenty minutes into it, which is bad because it's three hours long. Ugh.

47. The Sting (1973)

PG | 129 min | Comedy, Crime, Drama

83 Metascore

Two grifters team up to pull off the ultimate con.

Director: George Roy Hill | Stars: Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Robert Shaw, Charles Durning

Votes: 280,071 | Gross: $159.60M

9/10

Super awesome. It's cleverer than a lot of films, and just flows. Everyone did a great job, and I never tire of it. Awesome.

48. The Godfather Part II (1974)

R | 202 min | Crime, Drama

90 Metascore

The early life and career of Vito Corleone in 1920s New York City is portrayed, while his son, Michael, expands and tightens his grip on the family crime syndicate.

Director: Francis Ford Coppola | Stars: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton

Votes: 1,365,296 | Gross: $57.30M

4/10

Worse than the first, which is bad because it is. It is so freaking boring. I lost interest ten minutes into it, which isn't good with a film 200 minutes long. It's a cure for insomnia. Boring.

49. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

R | 133 min | Drama

84 Metascore

In the Fall of 1963, a Korean War veteran and criminal pleads insanity and is admitted to a mental institution, where he rallies up the scared patients against the tyrannical nurse.

Director: Milos Forman | Stars: Jack Nicholson, Louise Fletcher, Michael Berryman, Peter Brocco

Votes: 1,073,111 | Gross: $112.00M

8/10

Quite like this one. It's not complicated, but it's very well-done. I really enjoyed it, and everyone did a good job. Good stuff.

50. Rocky (1976)

PG | 120 min | Drama, Sport

70 Metascore

A small-time Philadelphia boxer gets a supremely rare chance to fight the world heavyweight champion in a bout in which he strives to go the distance for his self-respect.

Director: John G. Avildsen | Stars: Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers

Votes: 628,902 | Gross: $117.24M

7/10

Eh, not great. Good, but not great. I don't much like the gangster stuff. The boxing was okay I guess, but I don't get the desire to watch two dudes beat each other up.

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. None of the jokes were funny, nothing was written well, no one could act, and it just didn't work. It's awful.

2/10

When you make a movie about the Vietnam War, don't forget to go to Vietnam more than twice. This movie is one of the worst I've ever seen. Not only did I hate the writing, pacing, look, editing, and acting, it is one of the most boring movies ever. I hate everything about this film.

Not bad, but kind of boring. I was bored about half an hour through, but at least I didn't suffer as much as I did with the Godfather films. Still, I have to say ugh.

Another great war film! I dig it. I think Charlie Sheen wanted to be Daddy Sheen in this film, but Martin Sheen did a better job. Still, Sheen's support is great, and it's a strong film. Good stuff.

7/10

Another controversial winner, but this time because of Scorsese's Goodfellas, which I actually hated. Dances with Wolves, while not perfect, is a solid picture, and I quite liked it.

Rather brutal, but still a good murder mystery. It's a little disturbing in spots, and almost the epitome of a antithesis to a typical Best Picture winner.

Another western with Eastwood? Count me in to watch this! It's great, and unforgiving, as the title implies. Not my favourite anything (well, maybe my favourite western from 1992) (or movie directed by Eastwood), but I quite like it.

Forrest Gump is full of convenience, but it's still entertaining. It's all solid and well-done, but it's not really a favourite. Still, I enjoyed Forrest Gump, but I haven't the desire to watch it again.

I dug the first half, but the second half turned into a whole lot of film that couldn't keep me awake. It's kind of boring in a lot of spots, but it's not really horrible. It's just kind of lame.

It's more about the romance than the war, which is fine, because I like seeing people in films being people. It is a little long, and takes its time, but English Patient isn't bad. It requires British patience. Haha!

71. Titanic (1997)

7/10

It's actually pretty funny in spots, but, naturally, I just wanted to watch the ship sink, and I got the bonus of seeing Kate Winslet naked, though not much is seen. It's a movie that's just... there. It doesn't really do anything. It's just fluff.

72. Shakespeare in Love (1998)

87 Metascore

The world's greatest ever playwright, William Shakespeare, is young, out of ideas and short of cash, but meets his ideal woman and is inspired to write one of his most famous plays.

7/10

The first of the major "Why didn't that movie win!" controversy-laden winners with which I disagree. I love Saving Private Ryan, but not this. Now, Shakespeare in Love is serviceable entertainment, but it's rather empty and not too engaging. I enjoyed it, sure, but it could have been a lot better.

73. American Beauty (1999)

That was weird, and not in a good way. It was just kind of boring, and not written all that well. It's a little disturbing in spots, especially the main story of Kevin Spacey falling in love with a 16-year old.

74. Gladiator (2000)

8/10

I understand it's based on a true story, but the story was modified a whole bunch for the film, which happens a lot with sword-and-sandal films. Gladiator is a good one, though. It's very strong in all aspects, but it isn't quite a favourite. I need to rewatch it sometime, though.

75. A Beautiful Mind (2001)

8/10

Another controversial win, and another with which I agree. This is much more focused, and much more entertaining, than Pianist. Sure, this movie is fluffier than Pianist, and they'll forever be compared, even though they aren't really comparable, but I enjoyed it more.

77. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)

5/10

I'm not sure if "crash" meant the crash in the film or the fact it crashes and burns into a mess. It's not bad, and I can't speak to the controversy because I haven't seen Brokeback Mountain, but it could have been better if it wasn't so mediocre.

80. The Departed (2006)

A sympathy win for Scorsese, and I want sympathy for being subjected to this dreck. I can't stand Scorsese's films, and this doesn't help at all. They're all jerks to each other, and it's just boring. I didn't like it.

10/10

Bound! This film is superb. Everything works, and does it excellently. No Country for Old Men is just awesome at every turn. I love everything about this film, especially the (controversial) ending. This is my #2 Best Picture winner. My biggest complaint is that the book is better, and some detail got lost in translation (like why Anton didn't just shoot Llewelyn in the truck), and it brought it down a bit. It's an excellent film, but it's hard for me to not prefer Korean films.

3/10

Crap. Crap crap crap. Everything about this film is crap. I hated all of it. I don't rate it lower because I can't remember everything that happened (I try to forget horrible films' details), and because it isn't long enough to be super boring for five hours, like Deer Hunter. Awful.

8/10

A simple film, but it works quite well. Everyone, especially Rush, does a great acting job, and the writing is strong. It's a little plain in direction and composition, but it's a good film. This is another controversy with which I agree - it's better than the horrible Social Network.

It sounded great, but it isn't. It's good, but I wasn't overly impressed. It doesn't really do anything wrong, so much as it doesn't excel at anything. Artist is a charming film, but I wasn't too impressed.

9/10

Awesome film. It's very dialogue-driven, though that is far from an inherently bad thing. I loved the script and performances, which are the two main driving forces of the film. Spotlight felt a lot like Big Short in style and progression, though not quite as awesome. Can't go wrong with either, really.

I finally got to this movie and I enjoyed it. It's easy to follow with some good drama and some good comedy. The title, at first, made little sense, but it's explained early in the film, and it goes from there. It's enjoyable.

Parasite is bonkers, and it's also awesome. I know I initially typed I didn't like the ending, nor that I wanted to watch it again, but I changed my mind, watched it again, and loved it. It's a wild ride, and the ending is actually fitting. I love it loads, and I'm glad a Korean film won Best Picture. It's my #1 Best Picture.
