- Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) It seems wild to think that the Monty Python troupe had trouble getting funding to make a movie, but a lot of the love for "Monty Python's Flying Circus" came much later.
- Moonlight (2016) Cited by both The New York Times and The Guardian as one of the best films of this century so far, "Moonlight" was well deserving of its Best Picture win at the 2017 Academy Awards — even if the kerfuffle surrounding the way it was announced stole some of its thunder and is what people remember most about the big moment.
- Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989) Other than horror films, indie movies of the 1980s were largely the realm of film nerds and fans of the avant-garde. While there are several movies that served as a sea change and paved the way for the mainstreaming of indie movies in the next decade, one of the first and most important was Steven Soderbergh's debut film, "Sex, Lies, and Videotape."
