Pass on the others.
All About Eve too. Not an Oscar Best Picture winner but What Ever Happened to Baby Jane as well, Bette at her finest.

I believe I've seen all but four. I've been lucky in having revival theaters around.

I haven't seen Greatest Show, Marty, Oliver, or Patton.

I've seen all but two: The Great Ziegfield and Calvacade.
I'd never even heard of Calvacade,

edit to add:
My personal favorites, in this list, are No Country for Old Men, Chicago, Driving Miss Daisy, Amadeus, A Man for All Seasons, Midnight Cowboy, and Gone With the Wind.

Not a single one on the list, though, would rank in the top 20 of my all time favorite movies. Too often, the Best Picture winners just don't age well.
