Look, The Shape of Water is great. Seriously, it is. But when you look at film history, the fact that The Shape of Water is the first science fiction film to ever win Best Picture is kind of weird.

Here are some of the movies that earned the Best Picture Oscar—even if they didn’t win it.

Like most lists, this is completely subjective but, for at least the first eight on the list, I would have to agree.
