In honor of the 30th anniversary of Amadeus, here are my top 10 winners of the Best Picture Oscar. I've seen every Best Picture except Cavalcade and The Artist.
10. The Last Emperor (1987)
9. All About Eve (1950)
8. Casablanca (1943)
7. Schindler's List (1993)
6. Bridge On The River Kwai (1957)
5. The Godfather Part II (1974)
4. A Man For All Seasons (1966)
3. Lawrence Of Arabia (1962)
2. The Godfather (1972)
1. Amadeus (1984)
Haven't seen The Last Emperor or A Man For All Seasons yet. The rest are all worthy winners except Schindler's List, which is a terrible movie in my opinion.
that'll be the day
Amadeus is not even the BP in 83. That honor goes to Once upon a time in America.
