If you don’t want to go through the effort of watching the over 90 films to win the Best Picture award, look no further. In this first part of my movie watching saga, you will learn about and hear my take on the first 32 movies to win the coveted Best Picture award. Off first glance, the years of 1927-1959 sounds like a pretty boring time for movies, but trust me, there’s some real heat in this batch of films. Enjoy as I break down the first definitive era of the Best Picture award winners.

My dude actually put spoiler warnings on movies that are a hundred years old. What a legend

@j_c_93 2 года назад

Never understood this. Just because a movie is a certain age doesn't mean everyone has seen it. If I tell you I'm about to watch an obscure film from 1941 and you spoil it, you're still an asshole.

@3Black.1Red 2 года назад

old movies don't need spoiler warnings as much. but movies this old probably hasn't been seen by most, so it comes full circle

@gabi-chan7806 Год назад

The "it's an old movie, spoilers are okay" logic has always been so weird to me. Specially in the internet age where you don't need to watch movies (or shows) at the same time as other people (as you would if they were on cinemas or TV). Not everyone watches every film or TV show.

@ianschmitt4991 Год назад

Olivier's Hamlet has one of my favorite scenes, the one with the father's ghost. One of the best uses of black and white cinematography. There is a bit of adjustment required for Shakespeare's language in general, but it is so worth it, and it's not as difficult as it might seem.

@kennethconnally4356 2 года назад

One big trend I noticed among these wins is genre favoritism. Of course almost all the winners are mainstream, big budget Hollywood crowd-pleasers, but even within that the Oscars in this period seem to have been dead set on locking out many of the most popular film genres. War movies, biopics, musicals, and dramas dominated. Meanwhile the 1930s produced a large quantity of classic horror (Frankenstein, Dracula) and gangster movies (Scarface, White Heat), the '40s saw the rise of film noir (The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity), and the '50s were a golden age for sci-fi (The Day the Earth Stood Still, Invasion of the Body Snatchers) and Westerns (High Noon, The Searchers). None of these "low-brow" genres stood much of a chance in the Best Picture race. Hitchcock was also cranking out all-time classic mystery and suspense films like Vertigo and Rear Window in this period, but only Rebecca, which could be a romantic drama if you squint, took home the gold.

You make some good points. I think you’re right, I’ll consider this in Part 2 where I inevitably tweak the formula for what it takes to win the award.

I agree with many you loved, and nice to see someone else doesn't like From Here to Eternity. One more It Happened One Night notable: Bugs Bunny's character and carrot chomping is based on Clark Gable's character. And the only reason there was slim pickings in 1955 is because Night of the Hunter didn't get nominated, which is consistent because film noir should have won many times (like 1944.)
