We Both Enjoy Watching Movies,

and I chanced upon this list,


of every Academy Award winning film in the Best Picture category since the inception of the Oscars, not in my order of preference, but there it is they are all winners, I had to put a picture of number 12, Gone With The Wind in the post if for no other reason than the book found itself at number 26 on the American Library Association’s list of the 100 most-banned classics, the book was not even available in Russian, as it was not given permission to be published by the central party committee until it's translation finally and publicly appeared in 1982, made by Tatiana Alexseyevna Kudriavtseva, who waged a successful 18-year battle with the Communist Party to finally publish the book, it was of course printed in Russia in 1940, but was never made available to the public, back to the films, so how many of the 86 films have you seen? for myself a disappointingly low of only 59.
