Wikipedia: Academy Award for Best PictureWhat are your favorite Best Picture winners? Not necessarily the best films on the list but rather ones you consistently enjoy the most. Choose up to 5. Mine are (in no particular order): 1. Terms of Endearment 2. Argo 3. Driving Miss Daisy 4. Green Book 5. My Fair Lady I got my top 5 from the following list. These are all the Best Picture films I've seen so far and enjoyed a lot: Green Book Argo Gladiator American Beauty The English Patient Braveheart Titanic Schindler's List The Silence of the Lambs Driving Miss Daisy Terms of Endearment Rocky The Godfather Part II The Godfather The Sound of Music My Fair Lady West Side Story Casablanca Gone with the Wind

I'll list the ones I agree are actually the "best pictures" of the year from 1970-present:
The Godfather
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Silence of the Lambs
American Beauty
No Country For Old Men
And that makes a perfect 5. How convenient.

The difference between an Academy that recognizes truly great movies like Braveheart, and the PC crap that has been winning everything lately, is night and day...
