OK. So I'm not cinema-obsessed enough to have seen all of the Oscar Winners for Best Picture yet, but I'm going to rank the ones I've seen! I already know what first and last will be. Filling in the middle will be interesting.

All Best Picture Winners I've Seen From Best to Worst

Liv Tyler, Sean Astin, Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortensen, Ian McKellen, and Andy Serkis in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)

Everyone has them. Movies that you love, but that when you mention them you just get blank looks. Maybe they are great movies that flew under the radar. Maybe they are terrible comedies that tickle your funny bone in just the right way. Maybe they are movies that you watched when you were at the right place in your life to love them. Either way, they are movies that you love, but it feels like the only other people that know them are people you've shown them to. Here are some of my favorite films that my friends just don't know exist.

Favorite Movies I Feel Like No One Else Has Seen

River Phoenix, Christine Lahti, and Judd Hirsch in Running on Empty (1988)

I'm sure there are many that I forgot, but here are some movies that just have amazing openings, that draw you in from the very get go.  So, in no particular order...

Edward Asner, Bob Peterson, and Jordan Nagai in Up (2009)

Not long ago I ranked all the Best Picture Winners that I've seen from best to worst.  Now I'm going to rank all of the Best Picture Nominees (that didn't win) that I've seen.

Ranking the "Almost But Not Quites" that I've seen.
