Project to see All the Best Picture Winners
Discussed this with a friend a few months ago, a project to see all the best picture winners. Some I know I've seen already, but who knows. Maybe I'll rewatch them too, but just do them last. I also have been meaning to see all the Best Picture nominees from 2012. Here's the list of movies I would need to see... and good lord, its a big one.
Basically, i should stop seeing shit like Days of Thunder and Resident Evil (reviews to come on those soon....) and other stuff I've already seen and try to see some good shit. LOOK AT MY SHIT
I'm absolutely going to do the silent movies last, except maybe The Artist since that one is so recent and readily available. I thought about starting with the first one, Wings, but its over two hours long and SILENT. Don't think I could handle that right now. Might start with Annie Hall. Heard a lot of good things about it, and was once again mentioned recently on my favorite film podcast The Film Vault.
