OSCAR BEST PICTURES - a SLUM DOG INSPIRATION

Hey there,

Those who want to have a collection of DVDs , purely of the Oscar best picture pedigree, here is a list (not comprehensive though) of some of them.

Some of which I have seen , some others which I cannot vouch for.

Some are best seen in theatres.Some, so damn good that DVDs dont come in the way.

Never watch them in the order of production i.e year-wise as they came up for the awards. No, mix-em-up so that you travel back and forth in history.
