The films in this list received a best picture nomination from the Academy Awards (BP), the BAFTA awards, the Critics' Choice Awards (Critics), or the Independent Spirit Awards (Spirit), or were selected as a top ten film by the American Film Institute (AFI) or the National Board of Review (NBR).

This list is intended to contain mostly mainstream films that have won awards from some of the most prestigious English-language award-granting institutions, though a little bit of indieness is mixed in via the Independent Spirit Awards. The vast majority of the films in the list are English-language films, but non-English language films are not excluded so long as they meet the criteria of the list. Similarly, most films on the list are prestige dramas, but comedies, action/superhero movies, and various other kinds of films are not excluded so long as they meet the criteria.
