Kristopher Tapley gave his list of the ten Best Best Picture Winners. I’m not sure if he means best, or his favourite…but it’s all good and so is the list. I’m still in the process of compiling my hundred favourite films so I can’t list my favourite Best Picture winners in order. But I will list my top 29 in a quasi-chronological ascending order.

                    

                         

Many of the films above are vying for a place in my Top 100 Films. Now I know what you’re probably saying, where’s so and so film etc…but this is not a list of the Best Picture winners…in fact what the hell does the worst best mean. I think it should be stricken from the English Language and replaced with favourite or another word akin. Generally I don’t have a problem with the Oscar winning Best Pictures…well not often. I think at least forty are very good to excellent films. The winners are rarely my favourites, but that doesn’t really matter. Off the top of my head there are only three winners I absolutely hate Gigi, An American in Paris and Rocky. A strongly dislike a few others, but these three have no redeeming qualities for me.
