7 Movies That Have Won the Most Oscars

Over the years, there have been hundreds of movies nominated for the Academy Awards. Many films win one or two — some collect a handful. But to date, only 32 films have won 5 or more Oscars. Many of them — including Schindler’s List, Star Wars, and The Godfather Part II — are considered among the best films of all time. Some are new classics, others are films that many of us have forgotten. Here are the seven movies that have won the most Academy Awards so far.

1. Titanic (1997)

James Cameron’s romantic exploration of the last days aboard the ill-fated Titanic was a monster hit with audiences around the world. And it made Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet — who are coincidentally both up for Oscars this year — into megastars. But Titanic‘s biggest accomplishment may be the sheer number of trophies it won at the 70th Academy Awards. It’s tied with two other films for the distinguished honor of having won 11 Oscars. It won two of the ceremony’s top prizes; Best Picture and Best Director for Cameron. And it took home nine other awards:  Original Dramatic Score, Art Direction, Make-Up, Costume Design, Film Editing, Visual Effects, Sound, Sound Effects Editing, and Original Song for Celine Dion’s ear-wormy pop ballad “My Heart Will Go On.”
