10. Anora
Anora starts like a wild party, but this movie is a messy, uncomfortable aftermath that really says something. Beneath the glitter and chaos, it’s a sharp, darkly funny look at power, class, and the quiet dignity of people who are too often ignored. | © Neon
9. Wicked
Wicked takes the world of Oz and tells it from a whole new angle, one where the so-called Wicked Witch is anything but. With standout performances from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, it’s a big, bold fantasy about friendship, misjudgment, and what it really means to be different. | © Universal Studios

Before Pride parades and rainbow flags, there was Harvey Milk, just a guy with a bullhorn and the guts to run for office. Milk captures that fight with warmth and grit, showing how one man’s voice lit a fire that still burns today. | © Universal Studios
6. My Left Foot
My Left Foot tells the extraordinary true story of Christy Brown, a man born with cerebral palsy who learns to write and paint using only his left foot.

4. Black Panther
Black Panther did more than deliver a Marvel blockbuster; this movie put African culture, style, and pride front and centre in a way Hollywood rarely does. With all-black main cast, Afro-futurist worldbuilding, and global box office success, it became a cultural milestone as much as a superhero movie. | © Walt Disney Pictures
3. The Intouchables
The Intouchables is based on the true story of a wealthy quadriplegic man who hires a young caregiver from the rougher edges of Paris, and somehow, they perfectly match each other. What follows is a warm, funny, and genuinely moving portrait of friendship that cuts across class, race, and every social barrier in between. | © The Weinstein Company
2. Wonder
Wonder follows a young boy with a facial difference as he navigates the rough waters of school for the first time, and it does so with honesty, warmth, and zero condescension.

1. 12 Years A Slave
12 Years a Slave tells the true story of Solomon Northup without flinching, a free man kidnapped and sold into slavery. It doesn’t try to manipulate your emotions with music or sentiment; the horror speaks for itself, and that’s what makes it hit so hard. | © Searchlight Pictures
