Listen "Patton (1970)"
Episode Synopsis
We've been counting down the Academy Award winners for Best Picture from worst to best.* 94 movies in total (we made the list prior to the Oscars held in 2023), and we got all the way down to number 52 before we got anything from the 1970s.
Patton is the film. Released in 1970, it's a biopic of WWII General George Patton, played by George C. Scott. Franklin Schaffner directs.
*What is this list?
We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
