Movies were movies when you paid a dime....

So today, for some reason, I was thinking about Oscars and the Best Pictures winners.  I figured, I've been on this earth 50 years, and I thought, I've probably not seen too many of them.  I just don't like most of the winners.  So I got the list and looked.....and how surprised was I?

Out of 50 winners, I've seen 27 of them...just a smidge over half.  I really am surprised it's been that many.  So I put the list together below and the ones in Bold are the ones I've seen.
