The last 43 Oscar best-picture winners, ranked from lowest budget to highestThe budgets of the winners of the best picture Oscar have ranged from "Titanic" highs to "Rocky" lows. Here are the last 43, ranked from lowest to highest.

There is no special formula to win the best picture Oscar - at least when it comes to money.

Films that range from low-budget indie flicks ("Moonlight," "The Artist") to high-budget blockbusters ("Titanic," "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King") have won the Oscar for best picture throughout history.

And that's reflected in this year's nominees as well - from Christopher Nolan's $100 million war epic, "Dunkirk," to Luca Guadagnino's $4 million 1980s romantic drama "Call Me by Your Name."

Based on budget data from IMDB Pro, and then adjusted for inflation using an inflation calculator, we've ranked the last 43 best picture winners from lowest budget to highest budget.
