Best Picture Oscar Winners

As of the end of 2016 there are 88 movies that have been awarded the Best Picture Oscar at the Academy Awards. Of those 88 movies, 39 appear on the list of the top 251 movies of all time. Of those 39 movies, I had not seen 27 of them previously. That leaves 12 movies on the list that I had seen before. In addition, there are six other Best Picture Oscar winners I've seen that either didn't make the cut (Dances with Wolves, A Beautiful Mind, Chicago) or were released after the top 251 list was compiled (12 Years a Slave, Birdman, Spotlight). Without this project I would likely only be at 18 of 88 seen instead of 45 of 88 seen.

Below are two lists of Best Picture Oscar winners in the top 251 movies of all time and the grade I gave the movie. The first list is of Best Picture Oscar winners that I hadn't previously seen, which had an average grade of 3.074 out of 5, and the second list is of Best Picture Oscar winners that I had seen before, which had an average grade of 4.042 out of 5. Breaking the list into two, along with listing the Best Picture Oscar winners above that I've seen that didn't make the top 251, makes it easier to compare where I was at and where I am now in terms of seeing all of the Best Picture Oscar winners in history. That may be a goal of mine at some point after my addendum project is finished.
