The team over at Burger Fiction has compiled clips from every Best Picture Oscar winner ever. This mashup runs the gamut from early classics like All Quiet on the Western Front (1929) and It Happened One Night (1934) to modern masterpieces like Gladiator (2000) and 12 Years a Slave (2013). It even includes this year's contenders to join the ranks of Best Picture winners.
It's a fun trip through Hollywood's evolution. From the fast-talking black and white pictures that stand the test of time to the puzzling picks, like when Forrest Gump (1995) surpassed The Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction for the top spot. Even early winners like How Green Was My Valley (1942) that supplanted Citizen Kane, often thought of the greatest film of all time, were not without controversy. 1977's winner, Rocky, even beat out Taxi Driver and All the President's Men.
But regardless of the upsets, this serves as a reminder that even the unlikely winners were good films, if not the best of their year. Are you not entertained?
