Every Best Picture Oscar Winner Ranked Worst To Best

Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, All About Eve was nominated for a monumental fourteen Oscars, and each one of them feels well deserved and appropriate.

Following a veteran Broadway star who has her career threatened by her ambitious new assistant, it features an endless supply of wit and intelligent dialogue, and its themes of toxic ego, the celebrity, and empowerment haven't aged a day (and in many ways feel more timely now than ever before).

The elegant execution makes All About Eve a great film, but it's the cast - particularly a fiery, flawless Bette Davis - that makes it a classic. This is the kind of all-time great movie where everything comes together without fault, to create an experience unlike any other.
