This week, we tackle Barry Levinson's 1988 drama Rain Man. The movie, which features Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman as estranged brothers--one a cocky yuppie and the other a sweet-natured austic savant, ranks at #54 on our countdown* of Best Picture winners.

*What is this list?

We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
