All 89 Oscar best-picture winners, ranked from worst to best by movie critics

- 89 films have won the Oscar for best picture in the history of the Academy Awards.
- We ranked all 89 films based on how well they fared with critics.
As the 90th Academy Awards looms, this year's best picture race is one of the closest, most unpredictable of all time.
But before the winner is finally announced on March 4, we've reflected on the other 89 winners that have taken home the top prize.
Business Insider ranked all 89 films - from the first winner "Wings" from 1927 to the latest winner, 2016's "Moonlight" - based on their critic score on reviews-aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. In the case of ties, we broke them based on their audience scores on the site. (And if those were the same, the film with more user ratings came out on top.)
Some of the results may be a surprise ("Argo" is ... pretty high on the list), while others (notorious winner "Crash") probably won't be.
