What I've Got

I spent a very long time trying to figure out how to attach a document to a blog post... Turns out, I couldn't find it! So, I'll just type it in here.

I own 34 of the best picture winners, out of 83. Of those 34, I have watched 20.
 
Out of the other 49, I have seen 4. Meaning that out of all of the best picture winners, I have seen 24. But, like I said, I will watch them all, and re-watch the ones I have already seen.
 
The most recent one I own is The Hurt Locker from last year, and the oldest is Gone with the Wind from 1939.
 
There are 2 best picture films that have no official Region 1 (US & Canada) release: Wings (1928) and Cavalcade (1933). I will need to purchase those in a Korean release NTSC version.
 
The first film I will need to watch that I don't own is Driving Miss Daisy (1989).
 
Here is a list of the Best Picture winners, with the ones I own in bold.
