Welcome to Sibling Cinema! Dennis and Bonnie are siblings and we're here to talk movies! Dennis is an obsessive cinephile and Bonnie is a super casual movie watcher. In this series we are embarking on a countdown of the Academy Award Best Picture winners. We aggregated several different lists (our trailer goes into more detail on how) that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
