So folks, lately I’ve been giving a little thought to maybe adding some new “features” to the ol’ Soviet Science blog…some new regular updates and the like. After much brain racking and sleepless nights of soul searching I finally came up with a few good ideas.
This is one of them.
Over the course of the next 6 (six) months I will attempt to view and review every movie that has won the Academy Award for Best Picture dating back to the year of my birth (1981).
Mind you, this is no easy task…for every “The Departed” and “Braveheart” there is also an “The English Patient” and “The Last Emperor”. Also some Academy Award winning movies are rather hard to find on DVD (“Out Of Africa” I’m looking at you…).
With that in mind, I hereby solemnly swear to watch and review every single one of these movies in under six months or face the grim penalty of never seeing another movie again. So say I.
A few quick notes: I won’t be watching these movies in any specific order, I’m just going to watch them in what ever order I can get my hands on them. I own a few of these movies, but there are others that I’ll going to have to track down in order to watch them. Also, why am I giving myself six months to watch 31 movies? Plain and simply I want to give myself a little breathing room when it comes to watching them (a.k.a. So I can watch other movies too and not just these only). Lastly, for those who are keeping track at home, I’ll cross out the moves on the list below once I’ve seen and reviewed them.
For your enjoyment here’s a complete list of movies I’ll be watching along with the year they won their Academy Award for Best Picture:
