MestnyiGeroi's "The Ten Worst Academy Award Best Picture Winners"

While this is not purely a matter of my personal preference (Gone with the Wind, for instance, is not my cup of tea, but I can at least see why it might deserve its Oscar), this list is nevertheless entirely subjective, of course.

This, to my mind, is the worst of the supposed best. These are really grouped in tiers:

1-3 (so close as to be practically a tie): Painful to watch.
4-7: Perhaps some merits here and there, but generally unpleasant to watch as well.
8-10: Not bad at all; just mediocre.

Not yet seen by me: Driving Miss Daisy, Million Dollar Baby
