Parasite (2019)

Parasite made history as the first non-English-language film to win Best Picture at the Oscars, a feat unmatched by any previous foreign entry. Bong Joon-ho's South Korean class warfare thriller grossed over $260 million worldwide on a $11 million budget, outperforming Seven Samurai in both critical consensus and global box office impact. Its genre-defying blend of dark comedy, thriller, and social commentary resonated with audiences across every continent, earning a 99% Rotten Tomatoes score and a Palme d'Or at Cannes.
