Parasite

Parasite made history as the first non-English-language film to win Best Picture, taking home 4 Oscars with a 99% Rotten Tomatoes score—the highest among all winners on this list. Its $258 million worldwide gross on a modest $11 million budget is 50% more profitable than #6 Annie Hall's adjusted worldwide earnings, demonstrating that thoughtful class satire can conquer global audiences. Bong Joon-ho's genre-bending masterpiece changed the landscape for international cinema, proving arthouse storytelling can win Hollywood's top prize.
