Academy Award Winning Movies

© Copyright 2002, Jim Loy

A while back, I wanted to see all of the great movies. Well, the video rental places are full of great movies (and nowhere near great). So I limited myself to movies that won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Then after I had seen all of the old ones, I just have to rent one more every year.
