Every Best Picture Oscar Winner Ranked Worst To Best

57. Chicago (2002)

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
Miramax

Chicago is a film largely responsible for the movie musical's resurgence in recent years, becoming the first of the once-great genre since 1968's Oliver! to take the Best Picture statue home.

Watching it some twenty years later, it's easy to see why it won, and why audiences took to it so fondly. Dazzling, in-your-face, and wonderfully self-aware, its eccentric characters and juicy murder plotline makes it an absolute blast tough to resist. It's not subtle or even that original, but when a film's this fun, who cares?
