Every Best Picture Oscar Winner Ranked Worst To Best
50. Marty (1955)
With its straightforward love story and conventional execution, Marty remains one of the Academy's sweetest Best Picture winners, following a hopeless romantic butcher who, despite the antagonism of his family, falls in love and attempts to live happily ever after.
Affectionate and charming, the drama features a truly wonderful Ernest Borgnine performance, and works effortlessly to sweep even the most cynical viewer up with its spell. It may not be the biggest rule-breaker the Oscars have ever honoured, but it's certainly one of the loveliest.
