Oscars: Every Best Picture Winner Ever Ranked From Worst To Best

71. You Can't Take It With You (1938)

While hardly among the very best films of Frank Capra's back catalogue nor an especially sterling Best Picture winner, You Can't Take It With You does benefit hugely from Capra's typical charm and deference towards humanism at all costs, with Jean Arthur and Jimmy Stewart sizzling together on-screen.

To some it might seem a little trite and overly sentimental, but as a giddy romance and familial drama, it hits all the right notes, delivering its message about the utility of money and importance of family with, as the saying goes, a welcome spoonful of sugar.

Lionel Barrymore's riot of a performance as the loony Grandpa Martin Vanderhof shouldn't be discounted either (even if the Academy ignored him).
