并非每一个最佳影片的决定都是最理想的选择——事实上，很可能大多数都不是。但这份名单上几乎每部电影都有一些潜在的故事，即使不是一部伟大的艺术作品，也有一个可以解释的获得电影院的最高荣誉的理由。

对一部伟大的最佳影片的真正考验是，在获得小金人奖年、年、年、年后，能引起世人多大的共鸣。有些失败了——这个名单上有很多电影，它们在文化世界上出名的唯一理由是它们获得了最佳影片奖。

拥有投票权的成员会每年都在尝试这种平衡——为一部既在当下有意义又将在未来的时代被人们记住的电影加冕。这也是每年奥斯卡颁奖典礼结束时最佳影片的宣布如此迷人、令人愤怒和不可错过的原因，请继续阅读奥斯卡历史上所有部最佳影片排名。原文有详细介绍，有兴趣可以去搜索一下。
