Blunderman's 50 Movies That Should Have Been Nominated for Best Picture

While the Academy has honored many of the greatest movies of all time, they still aren't the best at predicting how important a movie may be to cinema. So, some films that were nominated for the Best Picture award don't stand the test of time (such as How Green Was My Valley and The Life of Emile Zola, which very few people remember today), and films which weren't nominated are now regarded as some of the greatest movies of all time. So, here are 50 movies that should have been nominated for (and possibly won) the Best Picture Oscar.
