Oscar fever is in the air, with the 86th Academy Awards being held this Sunday, March 2. For 86 years, the Oscars have rewarded the best films with golden statues that immortalize their quality and importance to the history of cinema. While there are certainly some Best Picture recipients that plenty of people would take issue with, there are even more movies that are undeniably deserving of the Academy’s highest honor.
To celebrate our excitement for Oscar Sunday, we thought we’d take a look at the Top 30 Best Picture Winners of all-time.
In an era when Hollywood was still blossoming, All Quiet on the Western Front showcased the artistic and historical possibilities of the cinema, creating one of the most realistic depictions of war on film at the time. The movie has been immeasurably influential on the works of later filmmakers (Steven Spielberg has credited the movie as an inspiration for Saving Private Ryan) let alone the genre of war films itself. It caused some controversy internationally, but domestically, the movie was rewarded with Best Picture and Best Director Oscars.
