1. The Godfather (1972)
It is one of the loved gangster movies of all time. TheLV_Best Of Oscar Nominated Movies to Binge Watch.rtf Godfather is gorgeous to look at and sprawling in its story. It’s hard to separate the excellence of this movie from its mythology — Marlon Brando’s voice and delivery as Vito Corleone, the horse head in the bed, the excruciating transformation of the reluctant Michael (Al Pacino) from an ordinary young man to a Mafia Don — until you begin watching it.

The Oscars it won: Puzo and Coppola (Best Adapted Screenplay); Marlon Brando (Best Actor)

4. Gone With the Wind (1939)
Gone With the Wind is a true epic, and time passes for these characters, taking us along with it. It feels massive as you watch it, and it’s a credit to Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable that they are not dwarfed by the movie itself.
