This project has not gone as quickly as we hoped but I’m proud of the fact that through 1993 I’ve got +/- 500 words written on each Best Picture winner. Writing is nothing more than a hobby for me but an important one so it every read and comment means the world to me

Alright guys, I give up. The cross posting is not something I’m great at lol. There’s 66 of these right here www.spinningthereel.com/reviews/cate...

Please check them out! We’re still planning to get up to date by the end of the year so keep that link open

The first time I watched THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI (1957) I found it to be pretty dull. Still think it feels like they’re building that damn bridge in real time #filmsky #moviesky 🎥 📽️ 🎬 www.spinningthereel.com/reviews/the-...

I grew up on the Steve Coogan, Jackie Chan version but this is so much deeper. It’s also incredibly problematic. Cantinflas rules www.spinningthereel.com/reviews/arou...

What do you even say about Marty? Maybe the slightest film to ever win Hollywood’s biggest prize, but also, not undeserving. Borgnine is wonderful and it’s a delight from start to finish.

I could have been a contender! Loved this rewatch of On The Waterfront. Brando is pitch perfect and the fight against a corrupt organization couldn’t be more relevant.

Im fully 22 posts behind, this is brutal. In an effort to catch up I am going to post 2 per day

Been tremendously bad about posting these reviews here. Anyways, we watched FROM HERE TO ETERNITY (1953) like 2 months ago. It’s great, cool to see Sinatra act so well. #filmsky #moviesky 🎥🎬📽️ www.spinningthereel.com/reviews/from...

THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH (1952) hasn’t held up great, but how many other movies have Buttons the Clown? Something to consider… #filmsky #moviesky 🎥 📽️ 🎬 www.spinningthereel.com/reviews/the-...

AN AMERICAN IN PARIS (1951) is not the best of the old movie musicals — it’s not even the best Gene Kelly musical. But it is a visual wonder and really made me miss this kind of film. #filmsky #moviesky 📽️ 🎬 🎥 www.spinningthereel.com/reviews/an-a...

Not exaggerating when I say that ALL ABOUT EVE (1950) may be the best written film I’ve ever seen. Massively entertaining look at the lives of performers and life itself as a performance. #filmsky #moviesky 🎥 🎬 📽️ www.spinningthereel.com/reviews/all-...

You’ve almost certainly seen a movie like ALL THE KINGS MEN (1949) before. A wide eyed idealist jolts into power and succumbs to its corrupting influence. Entertaining even for its cynicism #filmsky #moviesky 🎥 🎬 📽️ www.spinningthereel.com/reviews/all-...

Enjoyed HAMLET (1948) and Olivier imbues it with a stunning magical surrealism. He clearly understands the sides of Shakespeare film can enhance. He’s also too old to play Hamlet #filmsky #moviesky 🎥 📽️ 🎬 www.spinningthereel.com/reviews/haml...

Fell behind on this thread again. Here is my review of Gentleman’s Agreement (1947), a film with its heart in the right place but fells something of a relic with modern eyes. Standout supporting performance by John Garfield #filmsky #moviesky 📽️ 🎬 🎥 www.spinningthereel.com/reviews/gent...

Had never seen a William Wyler film before this project and I’ve been really taken with his first 2 best picture winners. The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) is another intimate and meticulous look at WWII’s effect on the home front #filmsky 📽️ 🎥 🎬 www.spinningthereel.com/reviews/the-...

Billy Wilder is Hollywood royalty, his first Best Picture winner was The Lost Weekend (1945) An intense if sometimes exaggerated look at alcoholism. Really well crafted film. #filmsky 🎬 🎥 📽️ www.spinningthereel.com/reviews/the-...

After a few war movies it makes sense that the Academy shifted to a broad Bing Crosby musical in Going My Way (1944) Not the deepest winner, but its fun, funny and heartfelt. #filmsky 📽️ 🎥 🎬 www.spinningthereel.com/reviews/goin...
