Obviously, there are tons of movies that the average person hasn’t seen (including some of the classics).
So far, I’ve seen about 52 out of the 89 Oscar winners for Best Picture. There are four others that I actually started watching, but haven’t finished them yet. Though the question I have for you is what are some Best Picture winners you actually feel most guilty about having never seen (yet)?
There are several I probably could’ve mentioned, but my top two would have to be Ben-Hur and The Deer Hunter.
ReplySeems logical for people like us to have at least seen everything from 1970 to 2017, plus a lot of older ones. But from 1970, we should’ve seen it all by now. Having said that, I’ve never seen Patton.
I need to rewatch Chariots of Fire and Braveheart. I can’t remember anything. I recently saw Gladiator too, I felt like I had forgotten a large part of it.

All of the ones I have missed are recent:
The Artist (Have on DVD, just haven’t watched it yet.)
Argo (Have on DVD, just haven’t watched it yet.)
12 Years a Slave
Birdman
Moonlight (I watched the first 10 minutes on Amazon Prime and didn’t get into it. I’ll return to is sometime.)It’s amazing what getting married and having a child did to my social life. I used to see all of the nominees before awards night. <sigh>
I try to periodically re-watch old BP winners that I haven’t seen in years. A few years ago I re-watched The Life of Emile Zola and recently saw All the King’s Men again and was surprised that even though they’re not as well known as others, they’re actually quite good.
ReplyCopy URLI’ve seen them all but barely remember Cimarron, Cavalcade and Mutiny on the Bounty.
OSCAR FLASHBACK: Nicholson at the Oscars (1985) – Prizzi’s Honor
ReplyCopy URLThere’s still several Best Picture winners I’ve never seen, but here are three big ones: The French Connection, Terms Of Endearment and Unforgiven. So far I have seen over half of the winners.
Definitely watch Terms of Endearment ASAP. Bring a box of tissues, it’s a real tearjerker. Debra Winger was wonderful.

Yeah, I was not only surprised that Debra Winger didn’t win an Oscar for the film given the gravitas of her character, but the fact that she was in the same category as Shirley MacLaine.

You should watch all three right away. None of them feel dated and all have elements you can appreciate today. Great dramas, great action, great tears. None of them are the “I couldn’t finish it” type, like some of other BP winners.
