Best Pictures

The Oscars. Every year for over eighty years now, the little golden man has been handed to the “best” film made that particular year. While it can be debated whether the right movie won a certain year, this list is what it is, and this is what I’m tackling. My job is to pick these off one by one, and then write down my thoughts on them.
