Every Best Picture Oscar Winner Ranked Worst To Best

66. The Sound Of Music (1965)

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
20th Century Fox

This adaptation of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s musical has aged into one of the corniest Best Picture winners, its wholesome universal appeal and catchy soundtrack making it a difficult film to dislike, but an easy one to spoof.

Brought to life by a typically game Julie Andrews and stunning production design that holds up remarkably well, The Sound of Music may limp through its bloated drama about wartime family woes, but its lovingly crafted musical numbers make it sing. Ultimately, it'll make you smile, and that's just fine.
