I WATCHED EVERY SINGLE BEST PICTURE WINNER *1950-1954*

Sorry for the wait and thank all of you very much for getting my last Best Picture video to 2k. This set of half a decade ranges from the acclaimed All About Eve to the colourful An American In Paris to Spielberg's first love The Greatest Show On Earth to an epic anti-war statement From Here To Eternity to one of Marlon Brando's greatest performances in On The Waterfront. Stay tuned for the latter half of the 1950's and more as I watch every single best picture winner so you don't have to.

This is an exciting endeavor. I hope you are able to complete it up to the present (2022). Keep up the good work. (For my personal reasons, I judge movies by "feel good" or "challenges me to think, " rather than "best."

Gary Grant is NOT in "An American in Paris" did you mean Gene Kelly? Also your take on Hamlet was interesting you should know that Oliver's film is two hours shorter than the play. Singing in the Rain was not dominated for best picture.

Your professed confusion about plot points in certain films indicates that sometimes you really aren't paying attention, because no one else has trouble following the stories. This, in turn, suggests that at a certain point you do become bored and, as you hint at, turn on your phone instead. It's not that you never make a good point or assess a film fairly but - your understandable Anglo-centric preferences notwithstanding - you seem determined to show everyone that you're just too sophisticated to enjoy the movies that the rest of us like and that the populist Hollywood tripe is beneath you.

About 10% of Best Picture Oscars went to films that deserved it, pathetic record. If you’re using most winners to measure the general quality of films in general in each year/era, you’re barking up the wrong tree.
