I don't really watch movies that much, so, although I have heard of most of the movies on that list, I have only seen one of them.

I did see the Barbie movie and I thought it was really quite bad. I'm somewhat baffled at the acclaim it has received, though I kind of get that it touched on themes that people feel good about seeing addressed, like feminist ideas, in particular, but it did so very clumsily and superficially. The inventiveness and the aesthetic were the best part, but still not that good. (I know that wasn't on the list, but it was mentioned in the article.)

Most of the time, movies win Oscars if they're boring period dramas or ableist inspiration porn.
