Oscar Special: Posters of All 81 Best Picture Winners

Every year, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science will select one film to be named Best Picture of the Year. And this is a title I really take seriously. Each film represents a moment in time in the history of cinema. It's really quite beautiful looking back at the past winners and see how much they have changed the way movies are made today.

So for this post, I'm paying tribute to the 81 movies that has had the honor to go down in history as the Best Picture of the year they were made. Might also give ya'll a nice little Film 101. Enjoy!

  1. Cool. Notice how the posters get darker and (duller?) as you approach the new millennium.
