Percentage of Oscar and Box-Office Movies in your collection?

What percentage of Oscar Best Pictures and US #1 box-office hits from 1980 till date do you have in your collection?

I have 52% of the Oscar Best Pictures and 76% of US #1 box-office hits. I guess this indicates that box office hits are more aligned with my movie preference than Oscar best pictures. What does yours reveal?

12/34 on the box office, 16/34 on the best picture winners. A few best picture winners I want to get but waiting on a good price(Schindlers List), have a few in my collection from each list that I just kinda feel "meh" about that I may sell off after time.

25/34 of Box Office and 9/33 for the Best Picture.
Not all on Blu-Ray yet, slowly replacing my DVDs.

[Holmes]

Box office: 9/34
Oscars: 14/34

[Darth Marcus]

I'm not counting Catching Fire since it's not even out on blu-ray yet.

Box Office: 23/33 or 69.7%

Best Picture: 21/33 or 63.7%

[qb2333]

63% Box Office to 57% Oscar
pretty close

[Joda0]

Box office: 52,9%
Best Picture: 27,3%

Pretty low on the Oscar winners

[Lemmy Lugosi]

Box office: 1/34
Oscars: 4/34

[JavaJulien]

58.8% for Top Grossing Movies and 22.6% for Best Picture Winners.

[Jasonic]

box office: 18/33
Oscar BPs: 7/33

Been meaning to get quite a few of some of the ones I'm missing though.

Technically it would be 7 for box office, but 3 of those are just for reference purposes so it's really 4.

Technically it would be 4 for Oscars, but that includes one for reference purposes so it's really 3.

Box Office 4/34 = 11.7%
Oscar 3/34 = 9.8%

There are a 2-3 other best picture winners that I may add in the future if the mood and price strike me. Also if the theatrical versions of Star Wars ever get released in my lifetime on Blu-ray I may pick those up as well, but it's not a big priority and I'll be perfectly fine if it doesn't happen.

[Kevin Holly]

3/34 Box Office #1 Films

5/34 Best Picture Winners

There's a couple I'd like to own but haven't got around to purchasing yet though.

I haven't done the count, but I can guarantee you I have more box office movies. The Best Picture winners are so often horrible choices. Not only not the best, but often just lame movies overall.

[Scarriere]

55.8 % on Box Office.
44.1% on Oscar Winners.
Kinda lame on my part.

I fully agree with you for instance Avartar should have won best picture in 2009 but instead Hurt locker did.

Box Office: 12/34

Best Picture: 15/34

This seems about right. I love a lot of the 80s box office greats and of all the Best Pictures I've seen, I've liked about half.

[AaronJ]

Box Office: 2

Best Picture: 6

This was really interesting to go through and look. For instance, I was SURE I owned "Top Gun" on DVD. Nope.

[chrisron]

Box office: 22/34 (Two of them on DVD though)

Best picture: 7/33 (But maybe 10 others I will buy eventually)

[Canada]

20/34 box office 59% Blu ray collection
13/34 Oscar 38% Blu-ray collection still have to get Million Dollar Baby, Unforgiven and Schindler's List own them all on DVD

[octagon]

Box Office: 20/33
Best Picture: 18/23

For some reason I'm a little surprised it's so close.
