These are the films that brought something special to the table, be it groundbreaking storytelling, breathtaking cinematography, or performances that made you forget you were even watching a movie, yet for some reason, they didn't fit the mold of what the Oscars usually go for.

They're the kind of films that stick with you long after the credits roll, the ones you end up recommending to friends, wondering aloud why they didn't get more love during awards season.
