I haven’t seen all of them, but here’s how I rank the ones I did see. FYI I hated Moonlight. I’m sorry I found it super boring. 1. Everything Everywhere all at Once(absolutely amazing). 2. Parasite(Also great) 3. Spotlight(good) 4. 12 Years a slave(good) 5. Moonlight(very boring) I wish La la land won! It would be ranked number 2 if it had won. The rest I didn’t see.
2019 was an amazing year for movies. 1917, Joker, The Irishman, Jojo Rabbit, Knives Out, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Ford v Ferrari, The Lighthouse, Toy Story 4, and Avengers: Endgame
Toy Story 4??? That movie was great, but the ending…. Why!!? Regardless, I think it’s a great movie, but it’s unnecessary. It’s like good dlc. The Toy Story trilogy(1-3) are still the best, and it’s all you need. Don’t get me wrong though! I love Forky and I bought a build your own Forky kit. 😊
Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Sound of Metal, Little Women, Midsommar, Peanut Butter Falcon, Last Black Man in San Francisco, and more. Truly a STACKED year
My vote definitely goes to Parasite as well. It's a special film that made me, the viewer, look at the world a little differently, specifically when it comes to the people I meet. It's a film that provokes discussion in which you'll never get the same answer (ex: who is in the right, who is in the wrong, etc.), and to top it all off, the film is thrilling, sad, and also funny. A masterpiece on every level.
My ranking of the films I've seen are 1. Parasite 2. Moonlight 3. The Shape Of Water 4. Everything Everywhere All at Once 5. Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) 6. Green Book 7. Spotlight i Sill have to watch 12 Years a Slave, Nomadland and Coda
Parasite for me is the best movie of all time. Since I saw that movie it became my first 10/10 on IMDb. One of my happiest moments in Oscars history was when they won BP and other important Oscars. Such an incredible movie!
The birdman script is an original as it gets bouncing from on stage performance to not on stage, about halfway through you genuinely have no idea where the next scene is going, the script plays into its self as unpredictable , it is so unique in my opinion, I can't think of another movie with a remotely similar script
Everything everywhere all at once is the first time my favorite movie of the year has actually won in a LONG time! Yes! The last time that happened was for Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. So yeah! I loved Everything everywhere all at once!! I easily rank that as #1! Parasite is amazing too! It’s so intense in the 2nd half. The genre just flips! Regardless, I still wanted The Joker to win that year, but I knew it wouldn’t. 1917 was really great and awesome too!
You said something very important about an impactful film, "....It's not a movie I really want to go back and ever watch again but that's because it did it's job." That applies to Parasite, it's like having a fantastic teacher, so precise it's method of teaching, you never need to back to that class again because we were paying very close attention to each lesson.

That movie was a masterclass in movie making. From the cinematography, to the costumes, to the performances, to the storytelling. There are a few on this list that I still haven’t seen. Thanks for the reminder.
A second ago I was thinking about this movie and then boom I saw your comment. have you seen Oldboy buy the same director? That movie is arguably the best South Korean movie ever made
@@reginaldndambiblessingkhoz5266 😂 I’m on it. Two movies I’ve been meaning to watch for a while are Old Boy & I Saw the Devil. Maybe I’ll do a double feature.

parasite is one of most historic best picture winners of all time. i was amazed first watching it but not too shocked by the twist as Korean films always do that. one of the masterful movie, well deserved best picture winner indeed
Besides the first movie that won for BP, Titanic, Return of the King and I think Ben Hur?, its deffintly up there as far as historic wins goes. But it was not a movie for me.
1. Everything Everywhere (Deserved) 2. Parasite (Deserved) 3. The Shape of Water (Prefer Dunkirk or 3 Billboards but still a great choice) 4. 12 Years a Slave (Prefer Gravity or Her but 12 Years is such a powerful film) 5. Birdman (Prefer Whiplash and Budapest Hotel) 6. Spotlight (Every nominee of that year except for Bridge of Spies is more memorable in my opinion) 7. Green Book (Except for Vice, the other movies were better) 8. CODA (A pretty weak year to be honest, West Side Story and Dune were the best) 9. Moonlight (I wasn't a big fan of the movie, I think La La Land, Arrival and Hacksaw Ridge were so much better options for the award) 10. Nomadland (ZZZZZZZZZZ, Promising Young Woman, The Father and Sound of Metal are so freaking better)
Agreed!! I love both everything everywhere all at once and parasite and I would rank those as the top 2! Eeaao slightly above parasite. I also agree! I found moonlight boring and I would have rather had la la land win. Loved la la land!
Everything everywhere all at once is my top favourite for sure. It’s so good and a masterpiece and it’s so different. It can make me laugh and cry and I love it so much. And everyone in it is so incredibly talented
Parasite and EEAAO are really similar cases. Both come from great years for movies and were favorites for critics and audiences alike. Both gave us some of the greatest Oscar speeches of all time, and both are wins that give you a feeling of triumph, because you know the Academy made the right choice. Honestly though, I haven’t seen best picture wins that monumental since Lord of the rings.
Gravity Everything Everywhere All At Once The Shape of Water Nomadland Moonlight-Beautiful looking and moving but I felt it was bit overpraised. I have thought about it many times since. Spotlight-A one time watch but solid old school performance first screenplay. Great cast. Birdman I need to catch up on the Oscar winners.
Parasite was the film that sold me on watching more independent films. I'd honestly say it's helped me flesh out and be open to watching more under the radar films. Totally agree with the #1 spot.
How fun! Couldn’t agree with you less on Nomadland, it has stuck with me so much. The resonance and the humanity is so profound for me. Goes to show how ones personal life and experience will affect how much cinema and art impacts you. Love the channel.
I was so confused as this video was along by all the movies you ranked lower than the Artist and Argo. I made it to number 4 before I realized both those movies were actually over a decade old now and wouldn't be on the list.
Heres my ranking of all the best picture winners ive seen: 1. Godfather (not perfect imo but close to it) 2. No country for old men (i didnt expect to love this movie) 3. Return of the king (epic) 4. Schindlers list (very long but amazing cinematography) 5. One flew over the cuckoos nest (jack nicholson going crazy as usual) 6. Spotlight (amazinf dialogue and acting) 7. Platoon (not my fav war movie but still great) 8. A beautiful mind (a great movie from ron howard) 9. Argo (a well directed film by ben affleck) 10. Gladiator (epic action and Russell crowe being badass) 11. Departed (great acting but a lot going on) 12. Million dollar baby (hilary swank is really good) 13. Braveheart (some epic action) 14. 12 years a slave (a solid movie bout slavery) 15. Forrest gump (just a guy sitting on a bench telling his life story) 16. Ben hur (also way too long) 17. Lawrence of arabia (way too long) 18. Casablanca (not my cup of tea) 19. Sound of music (too many songs and way too long)
10. Nomadland 9. Coda 8. Moonlight 7. Green book 6. Spotlight 5. Birdman 4. Shape of water 3. Twelve years a slave 2. Everything everywhere all at once 1. Parasite
It's hard to not have Parasite at the top. The movie is incredible. Although I'm not a huge fan of Spotlight one has to admit that it has one of the greatest screenplays in years. Mas Max:Fury Road and Whiplash would've been my alternates in their respective years.
I was actually quite happy to hear that Birdman won Best Picture in 2014😂, so I disagree with what you said about it not holding a candle to Whiplash 😂. But for me the more objective pick would've been Interstellar(which wasn't nominated); because looking back on it, that was a monumental film that achieved some great things with its filmmaking, the thing that amazes me the most is that it was a Sci-fi film that contributed to actual scientific research and gave back to the scientific community. The 2014 nominees were certainly good, but I don't think they're touching Interstellar.
The standard for Best Picture has been on decline in my opinion. CODA? EEAAO? I long for the days of 12 year's a Slave, Moonlight and Parasite. I hope next year we get back on track
2014 was one of the best years for movies ever imo and despite how incredible Whiplash is, Birdman is in a totally different league compared to every other best picture winner.
Ive seen 5 1. Birdman 2. Parasite 3. Everything everywhere all at once 4. 12 years a slave 5. Spotlight. If it were up to me: 13 Prisoners 14 Birdman or Whiplash 15 Fury Road 16 Arrival 17 A Ghost Story 18 American Animals 19 Parasite 20 Sound of metal 21 Dune 22 Top Gun
I think Green Book is really good and emotionally resonant. And I think Don Shirley’s arc in that movie is actually much better than people give it credit
I would have loved Revenant to have won in 2016. How cool for Iñárritu to win two years in a row?? If not Revenant, it should have been Mad Max though. And I am so glad Moonlight won in 2017, I honestly don't get the hype with La La Land. I saw it in theaters and just thought it was alright

Not a great fan of preferential ballots. The likely runners up or even third in that system probably make a better list if we ever got to know the true tallies. It would be great if post Oscars they released the final tallies. It would make interesting discussion.
Great video as always Austin. Great to hear an opinion that can appreciate the value in all of these. This is somewhat of a hot take, but here’s my ranking: 1. 12 Years A Slave 2. Green Book 3. Everything, Everywhere, All At Once (these top 3 are among my favorite films. Do not understand the Green Book hate. To me, it’s Driving Miss Daisy but done perfectly.) 4. Spotlight 5. Parasite 6. CODA 7. The Shape of Water 8. Moonlight 9. Nomadland 10. Birdman (This is the only one I wouldn’t give a B+ or higher. It’s a good movie but very overrated in my opinion. Definitely should not have beaten Whiplash.)
My ranking would be: 1. Parasite 2. Moonlight 3. Everything Everywhere All At Once 4. Birdman 5. CODA 6. Twelve Years A Slave 7. The Shape of Water 8. Spotlight 9. Nomadland 10. Green Book
My rankings: 1. Everything, Everywhere All at Once. 2. Parasite. 3. Moonlight. 4. 12 Years a Slave. 5. Nomadland. 6. Spotlight 7. Coda. 8. Birdman. 9. Shape of Water. 10. Green Book
My two favorites are definitely Parasite and EEAAO. I haven’t seen Spotlight or Birdman yet somehow so I can’t rank all ten, I’ll try and watch those sometime soon. As it is with the eight I’ve seen, this is how I’d rank them: 8. Nomadland 7. CODA 6. Green Book 5. The Shape of Water 4. Moonlight 3. 12 Years A Slave 2. EEAAO 1. Parasite
I don't know man: I can see 'The Shape of Water* *SWIMMING* it's way to #1 💦 I can see 'Green Book' *DRIVING* it's way to #1 🚗 I can even see 'Spotlight' *WRITING* it's way to #1 ✍🏻 Point is, this is gonna be an interesting video to watch...
Eeaao's message is amazing, it deeply touched me once it got there, but getting there was the issue, it could've been executed a lot better, it has a lot of unnecessary over-the-top-ness and ridiculousness, i left me very ambivalent
If I had to pick 10 movies to watch for the rest of my life it wouldn’t include any of these & most of my top 10 come from the last 10 years. For that reason I’m glad EEAAO won to keep with the consistency.
Of the ones I saw 1- Moonlight AKA Best Movie ever made 2- Everything AKA Most movie ever made 3- Parasite AKA not a single mistake is made on this movie 4- Nomadland 5- Birdman 6- Shape of Water 7- Spotlight 8- CODA 9- Haven't seen 12 years of slave 10- Green Book
My list: 1. Parasite - unexpected and brilliant 2. CODA - touching and beautifully acted 3. 12 Years a Slave - history lesson on the level of Schindler's List 4. Spotlight - great investigative journalism movie 5. Moonlight - better Mahershala 6. Green Book - solid Mahershala 7. Everything Everywhere All At Once - multiverse weird confusion with hotdog fingers 8. The Shape of Water - fish sex, really?! 9. Nomadland - very slow and not worth repeat viewing 10. Birdman (or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) - too bizarre for me
8. Birdman or: The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorace (C+) 7. Spotlight (B) 6. Green Book (B) 5. 12 Years a Slave (B+) 4. Moonlight (B+) 3. The Shape of Water (A-) 2. Everything Everywhere All at Once (A-) 1. Parasite (A) Haven't seen Nomadland and CODA but obviously intending to, though watching the latter might be difficult for me since I don't have Apple+.
10. Nomadland (I don’t dislike it but I don’t really care for it and I think The Father would’ve been much more deserving that year) 9. Coda 8. The Shape of Water 7. Spotlight 6. 12 Years a Slave 5. Green Book (I think I’m the only one that like this movie, weak nominees that year tho) 4. Moonlight (Fantastic film, but I’m still somewhat salty about La la land not winning tbh) 3. Birdman 2. Parasite (I will probably go back and forth on this and EEAAO forever, both masterpieces) 1. Everything Everywhere All At Once (It’s still insane that it kept all its momentum and went all the way to ultimately sweep at the Oscars, one of the best Oscar winners of all time)
i remember watching parasite like a week before the oscars and i had heard all this buzz and thought it couldn't possibly be **that** good (and i'm saying that as someone who greatly appreciates korean cinema) but when it ended i was like.... holy $#it, yeah, that's the one. i also rewatched spotlight recently and that movie is simple compared so some of the others here but the story really grips you from beginning to end, even if you remember what happened in real life.
@Austin Burke Unrelated but please do Adventure Time Distant Lands review and review Close Enough Season 2 and 3. Also review Solar Opposites season 3. I want to see you doing Adventure Time video like name your top 10 best episodes, etc
My ranking is this: 10. Green book (haven’t seen it) 9. CODA (didn’t watch it) 8. 12 Years a Slave (didn’t watch it) 7. Everything Everywhere All At Once (haven’t seen it yet unfortunately) 6.Nomadland 5. Birdman 4. Shape of Water 3. Moonlight 2. Spotlight 1. Parasite I literally just got the Parasite criterion edition last week in the mail, it’s such a good movie. I can’t wait to see the next Bong Joon-Ho movie with Pattinson.. I’m not sure why I ranked the ones I haven’t seen, but I’m leaving it 😂
Do yourself a favor and go watch CODA. If you don’t have Apple TV+ then it’s only 5 dollars. That’s less than a movie ticket. If you can afford to of course. EEAAO is great too. Parasite is a masterpiece.
@@Christopher-ms5ke I hear nothing but good things about CODA, and I do have Apple TV+, but it’s just one of those movies I haven’t gotten around to yet, definitely something I plan to check out tho!
CODA! I love that movie so much. It's the only time in the last 10 years that my favorite movie of the year actually won Best Picture. That is if you don't count the 5 minutes that La La Land was Best Picture.🤣🤣🤣
Here is my personal top for the last 10 Best Picture winners at Oscars: 1) Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), 2) Spotlight (2015), 3) 12 Years a Slave (2013), 4) Birdman (2014), 5) Green Book (2018), 6) Moonlight (2016), 7) CODA (2021), 8) Nomadland (2020), 9) Parasite (2019), 10) The Shape of Water (2017). For me, I still don't understand the majority of praise for Parasite and some for The Shape of Water. And now here are my personal best movies (plus no 2s and 3s) for every year from the last 10 years chronological: 1) 12 Years a Slave, Gravity, Her (2013), 2) Boyhood, Birdman, Whiplash (2014), 3) Mad Max: Fury Road, Spotlight, Beasts of No Nation (2015), 4) Doctor Strange, Manchester by the Sea, Moonlight (2016), 5) Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Logan, Dunkirk (2017), 6) Green Book, A Star Is Born, Can You Ever Forgive Me (2018), 7) The Irishman, Joker, 1917 (2019), 8) The Trial of the Chicago 7, Minari, Nomadland (2020), 9) Belfast, King Richard, CODA (2021), 10) Everything Everywhere All at Once, Avatar: The Way of Water, RRR (Rise Roar Revolt) (2022).
Really fun video Austin! Looking back is quite something...if there was ever a statement that the Oscars have been picking for their time is true, then these past 10 years are definitely a testament to that. I could honestly say that maybe only 3 years have they gone for the most obvious choice; a very interesting group of winners. My Ranking: Less Said, the Better...I just find them VERY annoying: 10. Green Book (...I love Mahershala and Viggo!) - prefer The Favourite 9. Birdman (...I love Lubezki and Stone!) - prefer Grand Budapest 8. Everything Everywhere All At Once (...great fight sequences!) - prefer The Fabelmans Not My Cup of Tea: 7. CODA (Extremely inoffensive, I feel like it should've been more than it was because its heart is absolutely there.) - prefer West Side Story 6. Nomadland (My disconnect is mostly with McDormand, although well-performed, feeling too actress-y for the rest of the cast, whose naturalism is often affecting. Adding to that is that I don't find the cinematography particularly beautiful.) - prefer Sound of Metal 5. The Shape of Water (I so badly wanna love every Guillermo film, and especially one starring Doug Jones & Sally Hawkins and Dan Lautsen's cinematography and the costuming and production design and score UGH, I'm just so unaffected by the actual emotional content.) - prefer Phantom Thread or Dunkirk Fine: 4. Moonlight (One of those modern classics I just can't explain my disconnection from. Laxton's cinematography, Jenkins' writing & direction, Britell's score, all of the amazing performances, the deeply personal editing are all exceptional and lead to numerous terrific, powerful moments. I just can't say it worked for me as a whole any of the 3 times I've tried.) - prefer Manchester by the Sea Good: 3. Spotlight (Does everything just right. Not much exemplary, just all right.) 2. 12 Years A Slave (Most of the film's success comes from Steve McQueen's highly sensitive, restrained direction and Sean Bobbitt's cinematography. Even where it loses its power with the ending, the rest is a really devastating, earned drama.) 1. Parasite (Don't think it's one of the best winners ever (though I haven't seen all of them), but very good anyways. For the first 2 acts, everybody is doing this insane highwire act of being funny and being real yet it's left lingering just long enough for there to be something very dark hiding underneath. A very witty movie yet its surfaces are thorny and potent. Very nearly the best winner of the century.) - prefer Marriage Story or The Irishman
I’m still surprised Green Book and Coda won best picture. I really enjoyed both, but they feel like well made Disney channel original movies. I agree with Parasite, made my jaw drop at how Joon Ho unfolded the story. My ranking: 1. Parasite 2. Birdman 3. 12 Years a Slave 4. Spotlight 5. Moonlight 6. Nomadland 7. The Shape of Water 8. Everything Everywhere All At Once 9. Green Book 10. Coda
Great idea for a ranking! Mine would be: 10. Nomadland 9. Shape of Water 8. Green Book 7. Birdman 6. EEAAO 5. Moonlight 4. CODA 3. Spotlight 2. 12 Years a Slave 1. Parasite

Exactly. From an artistic side of view, it still remains my top of the top from the last 10 years or so.

Eeaao slightly above parasite.
I also agree! I found moonlight boring and I would have rather had la la land win. Loved la la land!
Respect your opinion but imo 12 years a slave is better than Gravity which itself is better than Her. Deserved win.
Would love to see a tier list of every winner!
Everything everywhere all at once is my top favourite for sure. It’s so good and a masterpiece and it’s so different. It can make me laugh and cry and I love it so much. And everyone in it is so incredibly talented
Parasite and EEAAO are really similar cases. Both come from great years for movies and were favorites for critics and audiences alike. Both gave us some of the greatest Oscar speeches of all time, and both are wins that give you a feeling of triumph, because you know the Academy made the right choice. Honestly though, I haven’t seen best picture wins that monumental since Lord of the rings.
Gravity
Everything Everywhere All At Once
The Shape of Water
Nomadland
Moonlight-Beautiful looking and moving but I felt it was bit overpraised. I have thought about it many times since.
Spotlight-A one time watch but solid old school performance first screenplay. Great cast.
Birdman
I need to catch up on the Oscar winners.
Parasite was the film that sold me on watching more independent films. I'd honestly say it's helped me flesh out and be open to watching more under the radar films. Totally agree with the #1 spot.
How fun! Couldn’t agree with you less on Nomadland, it has stuck with me so much. The resonance and the humanity is so profound for me. Goes to show how ones personal life and experience will affect how much cinema and art impacts you. Love the channel.
I was so confused as this video was along by all the movies you ranked lower than the Artist and Argo. I made it to number 4 before I realized both those movies were actually over a decade old now and wouldn't be on the list.
Haha it’s crazy they were so long ago!
Heres my ranking of all the best picture winners ive seen:
1. Godfather (not perfect imo but close to it)
2. No country for old men (i didnt expect to love this movie)
3. Return of the king (epic)
4. Schindlers list (very long but amazing cinematography)
5. One flew over the cuckoos nest (jack nicholson going crazy as usual)
6. Spotlight (amazinf dialogue and acting)
7. Platoon (not my fav war movie but still great)
8. A beautiful mind (a great movie from ron howard)
9. Argo (a well directed film by ben affleck)
10. Gladiator (epic action and Russell crowe being badass)
11. Departed (great acting but a lot going on)
12. Million dollar baby (hilary swank is really good)
13. Braveheart (some epic action)
14. 12 years a slave (a solid movie bout slavery)
15. Forrest gump (just a guy sitting on a bench telling his life story)
16. Ben hur (also way too long)
17. Lawrence of arabia (way too long)
18. Casablanca (not my cup of tea)
19. Sound of music (too many songs and way too long)
Heck of a list
@@AustinBurke idk if thats a good thing or a bad thing 🤣

1) Moonlight
It's hard to not have Parasite at the top. The movie is incredible.
Although I'm not a huge fan of Spotlight one has to admit that it has one of the greatest screenplays in years.
Mas Max:Fury Road and Whiplash would've been my alternates in their respective years.
Am i the only who thinks that CODA looks and feels like a Disney Channel Original?
I don't feel that way😊
YMS does too
Exactly why I thought it deserved some love on this list ☺️
1) Parasite
2) Everything Everywhere All at Once
3) Birdman
4) The Green Book
5) Moonlight
I was actually quite happy to hear that Birdman won Best Picture in 2014😂, so I disagree with what you said about it not holding a candle to Whiplash 😂. But for me the more objective pick would've been Interstellar(which wasn't nominated); because looking back on it, that was a monumental film that achieved some great things with its filmmaking, the thing that amazes me the most is that it was a Sci-fi film that contributed to actual scientific research and gave back to the scientific community. The 2014 nominees were certainly good, but I don't think they're touching Interstellar.
@@aaabbbccc12346 social network and inception are still talked about a decade later, no one talks about King's speech😂😂
@@aaabbbccc12346 true, atleast this year Everything Everywhere won
@@aaabbbccc12346 are you on letterboxd?
@@aaabbbccc12346 alright I'll give you a follow, name's Malous :P
I will never not be angered by the Oscars nominating Joker back in 2020 and not Avengers Infinity war or No way home back then
Great list bro
The standard for Best Picture has been on decline in my opinion. CODA? EEAAO? I long for the days of 12 year's a Slave, Moonlight and Parasite. I hope next year we get back on track
I think it would be cool if you went through best picture winners, and explain which movie you think should've won best picture that year and why?
Yess
2014 was one of the best years for movies ever imo and despite how incredible Whiplash is, Birdman is in a totally different league compared to every other best picture winner.
Excellent video....
Ive seen 5
1. Birdman
2. Parasite
3. Everything everywhere all at once
4. 12 years a slave
5. Spotlight.
If it were up to me:
13 Prisoners
14 Birdman or Whiplash
15 Fury Road
16 Arrival
17 A Ghost Story
18 American Animals
19 Parasite
20 Sound of metal
21 Dune
22 Top Gun
11:15 what film?
Everything everywhere all at once, parasite, green book, shape of water, coda, 12 years a slave, spotlight, moonlight, birdman, nomadland
Awe man I was expecting all time. Rocky platoon godfather departed, etc.
I think Green Book is really good and emotionally resonant. And I think Don Shirley’s arc in that movie is actually much better than people give it credit
I would have loved Revenant to have won in 2016. How cool for Iñárritu to win two years in a row?? If not Revenant, it should have been Mad Max though.
And I am so glad Moonlight won in 2017, I honestly don't get the hype with La La Land. I saw it in theaters and just thought it was alright
I actually like birdman better than whiplash, but I haven't seen whiplash since 2016 so maybe I should give it a rewatch.
One movie that was overwhelming best choice to win was schindler's list
(I like all of them)

YAY! Anything to extend Oscar season!
Yessss more to come
@@AustinBurke YAY!!! EEAAO - 1, Parasite - 2 for me! Lol
Parasite is easily on the top for me. Absolutely loved it. One of the best films I have ever seen.
Lost me with Nomadland and shape of water being below green book😂respect your opinion, I just can’t be ok with that
My ranking:

5. Everything everywhere all at once
6. The shape of water
7. Spotlight
8. Nomadland

You need to do this with some of the other catogories, like best actress and best actor
Not a great fan of preferential ballots.
The likely runners up or even third in that system probably make a better list if we ever got to know the true tallies.
It would be great if post Oscars they released the final tallies. It would make interesting discussion.
2020 I was routing for PYW
For me no I was routing for Nomadland or The Father
Great video as always Austin. Great to hear an opinion that can appreciate the value in all of these.
This is somewhat of a hot take, but here’s my ranking:
1. 12 Years A Slave
2. Green Book
3. Everything, Everywhere, All At Once (these top 3 are among my favorite films. Do not understand the Green Book hate. To me, it’s Driving Miss Daisy but done perfectly.)
4. Spotlight
5. Parasite
6. CODA
7. The Shape of Water
8. Moonlight
9. Nomadland
10. Birdman (This is the only one I wouldn’t give a B+ or higher. It’s a good movie but very overrated in my opinion. Definitely should not have beaten Whiplash.)
I’m still not over La La Land losing to moonlight.
Mr. Burke, comparing Wolf of Wall Street to 12 Years A Slave is ludicrous, I am gobsmacked.
How? That has literally been the conversation for years. Plus, they were both nominated and favorites, why would I NOT compare them?
@@AustinBurke because Wolf is very good, but 12 Years is fantastic. IMO
1. Parasite 2. Nomadland 3. moonlight
4. 12 Years Slave 5. coda 6. Shape of Water 7. EEAAO 8. Spotlight 9. Bird man 10. Green Book
My ranking would be:

3. Everything Everywhere All At Once
4. Birdman
5. CODA
6. Twelve Years A Slave
7. The Shape of Water
8. Spotlight

My rankings: 1. Everything, Everywhere All at Once. 2. Parasite. 3. Moonlight. 4. 12 Years a Slave. 5. Nomadland. 6. Spotlight 7. Coda. 8. Birdman. 9. Shape of Water. 10. Green Book
My two favorites are definitely Parasite and EEAAO. I haven’t seen Spotlight or Birdman yet somehow so I can’t rank all ten, I’ll try and watch those sometime soon. As it is with the eight I’ve seen, this is how I’d rank them:
8. Nomadland
7. CODA
6. Green Book
5. The Shape of Water
4. Moonlight
3. 12 Years A Slave
2. EEAAO
1. Parasite
I don't know man:
I can see 'The Shape of Water* *SWIMMING* it's way to #1 💦
I can see 'Green Book' *DRIVING* it's way to #1 🚗
I can even see 'Spotlight' *WRITING* it's way to #1 ✍🏻
Point is, this is gonna be an interesting video to watch...
Hehehehe

Eeaao's message is amazing, it deeply touched me once it got there, but getting there was the issue, it could've been executed a lot better, it has a lot of unnecessary over-the-top-ness and ridiculousness, i left me very ambivalent
Spotlight #1 for me
Hmmm I’ll go with
1. Parasite
2. CODA
3. Shape of water
4. Green book
5. Nomadland
6. EEAAO
7. 12 years a slave
8. Birdman
9. Spotlight
10. Moonlight
ranking the ones I've seen (I know I haven't seen parasite and I need to)
1. EEAAO
2. Spotlight
3. CODA
4. Nomadland
5. Green Book
If I had to pick 10 movies to watch for the rest of my life it wouldn’t include any of these & most of my top 10 come from the last 10 years. For that reason I’m glad EEAAO won to keep with the consistency.
Of the ones I saw
1- Moonlight AKA Best Movie ever made
2- Everything AKA Most movie ever made
3- Parasite AKA not a single mistake is made on this movie
4- Nomadland
5- Birdman
6- Shape of Water
7- Spotlight
8- CODA
9- Haven't seen 12 years of slave
10- Green Book
I would agree that Parasite is the best of all these winners.
Can we just acknowledge that although Parasite was made by South Korea, even North Korea liked it.
1. Parasite
2. EEAAO
3. Spotlight
CODA is one of my favorite movies in the past decade, and my favorite of the Best Picture Winners on your list. Parasite is #2 for me.
My list:
1. Parasite - unexpected and brilliant
2. CODA - touching and beautifully acted
3. 12 Years a Slave - history lesson on the level of Schindler's List
4. Spotlight - great investigative journalism movie
5. Moonlight - better Mahershala
6. Green Book - solid Mahershala
7. Everything Everywhere All At Once - multiverse weird confusion with hotdog fingers
8. The Shape of Water - fish sex, really?!
9. Nomadland - very slow and not worth repeat viewing
10. Birdman (or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) - too bizarre for me
Surprised that Green Book made it as high as .....
8. Birdman or: The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorace (C+)
7. Spotlight (B)
6. Green Book (B)
5. 12 Years a Slave (B+)
4. Moonlight (B+)
3. The Shape of Water (A-)
2. Everything Everywhere All at Once (A-)
1. Parasite (A)
Haven't seen Nomadland and CODA but obviously intending to, though watching the latter might be difficult for me since I don't have Apple+.
I honeslty don't understand how green book is so unliked, it's a great movie, it's AMAZING!! Someone who doesn't like green book talk to me....
I really agree with all of your rankings, Austin, particularly Parasite as numero uno!
Yes!!
12 Years A Slave is the best out of all the winners in my opinion.
10. Nomadland (I don’t dislike it but I don’t really care for it and I think The Father would’ve been much more deserving that year)
9. Coda
8. The Shape of Water
7. Spotlight
6. 12 Years a Slave
5. Green Book (I think I’m the only one that like this movie, weak nominees that year tho)
4. Moonlight (Fantastic film, but I’m still somewhat salty about La la land not winning tbh)
3. Birdman
2. Parasite (I will probably go back and forth on this and EEAAO forever, both masterpieces)
1. Everything Everywhere All At Once (It’s still insane that it kept all its momentum and went all the way to ultimately sweep at the Oscars, one of the best Oscar winners of all time)
I think Parasite is one of the best movies OF ALL TIME. By the way, I really wonder your ranking for winners of the best international feature films.
i remember watching parasite like a week before the oscars and i had heard all this buzz and thought it couldn't possibly be **that** good (and i'm saying that as someone who greatly appreciates korean cinema) but when it ended i was like.... holy $#it, yeah, that's the one.
i also rewatched spotlight recently and that movie is simple compared so some of the others here but the story really grips you from beginning to end, even if you remember what happened in real life.
Its like saying that 2018 was the best year for MCU and Marvel media
@Austin Burke Unrelated but please do Adventure Time Distant Lands review and review Close Enough Season 2 and 3. Also review Solar Opposites season 3. I want to see you doing Adventure Time video like name your top 10 best episodes, etc
Bong Joon ho is a top tier director. He has many good movies.
Yes, Parasite. A true masterpiece.
Then EEAAO
I’m really glad Nomadland was at the bottom, anything else would’ve been offensive
My ranking is this:
10. Green book (haven’t seen it)
9. CODA (didn’t watch it)
8. 12 Years a Slave (didn’t watch it)
7. Everything Everywhere All At Once (haven’t seen it yet unfortunately)
6.Nomadland
5. Birdman
4. Shape of Water
3. Moonlight
2. Spotlight
1. Parasite
I literally just got the Parasite criterion edition last week in the mail, it’s such a good movie. I can’t wait to see the next Bong Joon-Ho movie with Pattinson..
I’m not sure why I ranked the ones I haven’t seen, but I’m leaving it 😂
Do yourself a favor and go watch CODA. If you don’t have Apple TV+ then it’s only 5 dollars. That’s less than a movie ticket. If you can afford to of course. EEAAO is great too. Parasite is a masterpiece.
@@Christopher-ms5ke I hear nothing but good things about CODA, and I do have Apple TV+, but it’s just one of those movies I haven’t gotten around to yet, definitely something I plan to check out tho!
@@Cash42 Definitely!
PATHAAN IS NOW ON PRIME VIDEO AUSTIN! PLS REVIEW IT!
CODA! I love that movie so much. It's the only time in the last 10 years that my favorite movie of the year actually won Best Picture. That is if you don't count the 5 minutes that La La Land was Best Picture.🤣🤣🤣
Birdman should be higher tbh
Watch Birdman again. It's brilliant. I felt the same way on my first viewing
Boyhood > Birdman
La La Land > Moonlight
We stan La La Land in this house
The Grand Budapest Hotel > Birdman
Arrival > Moonlight
W list
Here is my personal top for the last 10 Best Picture winners at Oscars:
1) Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022),
2) Spotlight (2015),
3) 12 Years a Slave (2013),
4) Birdman (2014),
5) Green Book (2018),
6) Moonlight (2016),
7) CODA (2021),
8) Nomadland (2020),
9) Parasite (2019),
10) The Shape of Water (2017).
For me, I still don't understand the majority of praise for Parasite and some for The Shape of Water.
And now here are my personal best movies (plus no 2s and 3s) for every year from the last 10 years chronological:
1) 12 Years a Slave, Gravity, Her (2013),
2) Boyhood, Birdman, Whiplash (2014),
3) Mad Max: Fury Road, Spotlight, Beasts of No Nation (2015),
4) Doctor Strange, Manchester by the Sea, Moonlight (2016),
5) Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Logan, Dunkirk (2017),
6) Green Book, A Star Is Born, Can You Ever Forgive Me (2018),
7) The Irishman, Joker, 1917 (2019),
8) The Trial of the Chicago 7, Minari, Nomadland (2020),
9) Belfast, King Richard, CODA (2021),
10) Everything Everywhere All at Once, Avatar: The Way of Water, RRR (Rise Roar Revolt) (2022).
Boyhood deserved best picture over birdman.
Moonlight, EEAAO, and Parasite for me. Roma got robbed of a Best Picture IMO.
Really fun video Austin! Looking back is quite something...if there was ever a statement that the Oscars have been picking for their time is true, then these past 10 years are definitely a testament to that. I could honestly say that maybe only 3 years have they gone for the most obvious choice; a very interesting group of winners.
My Ranking:
Less Said, the Better...I just find them VERY annoying:
10. Green Book (...I love Mahershala and Viggo!) - prefer The Favourite
9. Birdman (...I love Lubezki and Stone!) - prefer Grand Budapest
8. Everything Everywhere All At Once (...great fight sequences!) - prefer The Fabelmans
Not My Cup of Tea:
7. CODA (Extremely inoffensive, I feel like it should've been more than it was because its heart is absolutely there.) - prefer West Side Story
6. Nomadland (My disconnect is mostly with McDormand, although well-performed, feeling too actress-y for the rest of the cast, whose naturalism is often affecting. Adding to that is that I don't find the cinematography particularly beautiful.) - prefer Sound of Metal
5. The Shape of Water (I so badly wanna love every Guillermo film, and especially one starring Doug Jones & Sally Hawkins and Dan Lautsen's cinematography and the costuming and production design and score UGH, I'm just so unaffected by the actual emotional content.) - prefer Phantom Thread or Dunkirk
Fine:
4. Moonlight (One of those modern classics I just can't explain my disconnection from. Laxton's cinematography, Jenkins' writing & direction, Britell's score, all of the amazing performances, the deeply personal editing are all exceptional and lead to numerous terrific, powerful moments. I just can't say it worked for me as a whole any of the 3 times I've tried.) - prefer Manchester by the Sea
Good:
3. Spotlight (Does everything just right. Not much exemplary, just all right.)
2. 12 Years A Slave (Most of the film's success comes from Steve McQueen's highly sensitive, restrained direction and Sean Bobbitt's cinematography. Even where it loses its power with the ending, the rest is a really devastating, earned drama.)
1. Parasite (Don't think it's one of the best winners ever (though I haven't seen all of them), but very good anyways. For the first 2 acts, everybody is doing this insane highwire act of being funny and being real yet it's left lingering just long enough for there to be something very dark hiding underneath. A very witty movie yet its surfaces are thorny and potent. Very nearly the best winner of the century.) - prefer Marriage Story or The Irishman
Excellent list and reasoning!
I’m still surprised Green Book and Coda won best picture. I really enjoyed both, but they feel like well made Disney channel original movies. I agree with Parasite, made my jaw drop at how Joon Ho unfolded the story. My ranking:
1. Parasite
2. Birdman
3. 12 Years a Slave
4. Spotlight
5. Moonlight
6. Nomadland
7. The Shape of Water
8. Everything Everywhere All At Once
9. Green Book
10. Coda
Great idea for a ranking! Mine would be:
10. Nomadland
9. Shape of Water
8. Green Book
7. Birdman
6. EEAAO
5. Moonlight
4. CODA
3. Spotlight
2. 12 Years a Slave
1. Parasite
Everything Everywhere All at Once
Parasite
The Shape of Water
CODA
Spotlight
Moonlight
Green Book
Nomadland
12 Years a Slave
Birdman
My list is yours but in reverse. Except take nomadland amd put it to number 7
