#40 Have watched a Academy Award Best Picture nominated movie from each year

Another movie list; my wonderful friend Terri who also chose this as one of her 101 Things and wrote a list of all the movies nominated for Best Picture from the beginning until last years ceremony.

My rules for this particular "thing" is that it can be any move from that year that was nominated, does not have to be the winner.  I also am giving myself the option to substitute the next closest year (or another category of award) if I can not locate a movie from that year's nominees.  After all i'm not sure how many 1928 movies are out on DVD right now...

Now to keep this list from being excruciatingly long, I'm just listing the years that I haven't seen one of the movies.  (I'll save the super long list of all the movies I have seen for when I complete this task)  If you've seen any of these movies, I'd love some input!
