The Oscar-winning movies you should watch before you die

The best Oscar-winning movies of all time are, frankly, some of the best movies of time. Every year, the best and brightest of Hollywood meet together at one star-studded event to celebrate their greatest achievements. We are, of course, talking about the Academy Awards, where the greatest take home prizes.

They are, as intended, a great barometer for sorting the good movies from the bad. But choosing the best Oscar-winning movies of all time is quite a challenge. There have been almost 100 ceremonies since the award's inception, and each one gives prizes to a couple of dozen movies. 

So, how did we come up with this list? We only looked at those movies that won the prestigious Best Picture award and then chose our favorites from that list. So, without further ado, here are the movies you should watch before you die.
