Anyone who claims to be a moviegoer has surely seen their fair share of Academy Award-winning movies, but how many can say they have seen all those best ’90s movies, the greatest films from the 2000s, or every single film to take home the top prize at the Oscars? We would not blame anybody who has not, since the Best Picture winners list is a hefty one that keeps getting longer on an annual basis.

For those who are up to the challenge – and before the winners of the 2024 Oscar nominations are announced – allow us to point you in the right direction by listing all the movies to receive the honor of being named the Best Picture of their respective years in the eyes of the Academy and where you can watch them, starting at the very beginning.
