Oscars: Every Best Picture Winner Ever Ranked From Worst To Best
84. Gigi (1958)
Few Best Picture winners have soured on audiences quite so much as Vincente Minnelli's painfully underwhelming musical romance, with its win proving all the more insulting in a year where Hitchcock's Vertigo received just two crafts nominations, winning neither.
The queasy central romance between a hoity-toighty bachelor (Louis Jourdan) and a young Parisian girl (Leslie Caron) never really strikes the right note when viewed through a contemporary lens, and it certainly doesn't help that the movie kicks off with the sublimely stomach-churning tune, "Thank Heaven For Little Girls."
Caron's turn is at least charming and the film clocks in at an incredibly reasonable 115 minutes, but the rampant misogyny makes it a tough sit today and an uneasy relic above all else.
