Academy Award Winning Pictures

I decided in January that I wanted to watch all of the movies that have ever been awarded the "Best Picture" Oscar by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (otherwise known as 'The Academy'). I scanned the listing and marked the movies that I had already seen but that only accounted for 25% of the overall list. I located the rest of the movies at the library and one by one I am knocking them off the list.

I watched two of them this weekend (The Best Years of Our Lives and Going My Way) and realized that this venture is turning to require a bit more patience than I anticipated. Some of these movies are not very good. So far I have seen 39% of them. I have seen the movies in BOLD. I will continue to update my progress.
