Every Best Picture Winner

Every Best Picture Winner (January 2017)

This is a ranking of every best picture winner to that point in 2017. This is the one list where I haven't seen every film on the list. I have seen nearly all of them. Of course, the exact ranking could change from time to time. There are a few that probably should be in a different position, but this is also meant as a celebration of the winners of the award. It also shows some of the more curious winners of this award. The best film has not always won. Foreign films also were barely ever even nominated.
