Here is a list of the 455 movies that have officially been nominated for Best Picture Oscars since the first Academy Awards ceremony in 1929. Go through the list and bold all the ones you've seen. Then, if you aren't too lazy, count them and post your number. Once you've looked at my list, suggest three movies from the list I haven't seen that you think I should see (if you can think of three). I will also suggest one movie that I think everyone should see. Assuming they haven't.
