Stage/Literature-to-Film
Since 1943, the Golden Globes have been celebrating the biggest, brightest, and starriest movies of the year. Now, we take every Golden Globe Best Motion Picture winner — including the categories for Drama, Comedy/Musical, and that brief period of unadulterated hedonism during the 1950s/1960s when Musical and Comedy were separate — and sort them all by Adjusted Tomatometer! And now we’re all caught up with Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody taking home the big two in 2019!

List of movies that won the Academy Award for Best Picture (1962 to present), Best Motion Picture (1944 to 1961), Outstanding Motion Picture (1941 to 1943), Outstanding Production (1929/30 to 1940) or Outstanding Picture (1927/28 to 1928/29) from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Every year, after the fracas of awards season and studio campaigning, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hands out the ultimate prize in cinema, the explicit recommendation that if you’re only going to watch one movie, make it the one we picked. We’re talking the Oscar for Best Picture. Less than 100 of these have been handed out through the centuries. But ever wonder how the movies of this exclusive golden club would fare against each other?
Welcome to our countdown of every Best Picture winner ever, from the Certified Fresh (Casablanca, Schindler’s List, Argo, Lawrence of Arabia, The Godfather, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King…most of them, fortunately), the kinda Fresh (Out of Africa, Forrest Gump), to the ‘HUH? HOW?’ Rottens (The Broadway Melody, Cimarron). We took ’em all and then ranked by Adjusted Tomatometer, which takes into account factors like year of release and number of reviews.
And now, as we open the red envelope, the award for most awesomely convenient Oscars movie guide goes to…Rotten Tomatoes, for All 92 Best Picture Winners, Ranked! Thank you, thank you, too kind, and yes, we do have an acceptance speech ready.
