How does "The Departed" fit with other Best Picture winners?
Reasonably well, at least judging by critical reaction. Rotten Tomatoes puts it at Number 30 of 80 by that barometer - http://www.rottentomatoes.com/features/special/2007/botbp/

Cultural illiterate me, I've only seen 18 then.

I have seen:

2. On the Waterfront
10. Annie Hall
20. West Side Story
22. Silence of the Lambs
29. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
30. The Departed
33. Shakespeare in Love
37. Rocky
40. Rain Man
43. American Beauty
45. The Deer Hunter
49. Gandhi
51. Ordinary People
55. Chicago
65. Driving Miss Daisy
70. Gladiator
71. A Beautiful Mind
73. Forrest Gump


Here's how I would rank those

On the Waterfront
Annie Hall
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Shakespeare in Love
The Deer Hunter
Rain Main
The Departed
American Beauty
Silence of the Lambs
A Beautiful Mind
Rocky
Driving Miss Daisy
Forrest Gump
Chicago
Ordinary People
Gandhi
Gladiator
West Side Story

I don't remember how many I've seen/haven't seen, but I do remember looking at the list and "huh"-ing at a few of the titles. I've never even heard of "Marty" or "Rebecca". And somehow it surprises me that 'Godfather' was the highest scored/rated movie.

Not as surprising that I, having grown up in the Bronx to Italian parents, never say any of the Godfather movies.
