I can't remember if this was posted before or not; apologies if it has: Oscar best picture winners ranked from worst to best. This ranking is based on scores from RottenTomatoes.
If you'd rather not go through the whole thing, here are the best from 12th thru 1st:
Tied at 12th, with a score of 97:
Godfather, Part II
Annie Hall
Schindler's List
Spotlight
The Hurt Locker
Casablanca
All the King's Men
Tied at 6th with a score of 98:
It Happened One Night
On the Waterfront
The French Connection
Moonlight
The Godfather
Lawrence of Arabia
Tied at 1st with a perfect score:
Marty
The Lost Weekend
All Quiet on the Western Front
All About Eve
Rebecca
Of those I listed, the only ones I haven't seen are Moonlight and The Lost Weekend.
I should point out that 58 movies scored at least 90. That's a lot of good movies.
Three scored below 60: Cimarron (scored 50), The Greatest Show On Earth (44), and The Broadway Melody (35). I think TGSoE is much better than that; at least, better than Around the World in 80 Days, which scored a 72.
