The Sundance Film Festival is back, highlighting the finest achievements in independent film.

For over 40 years, Sundance has served as a platform for groundbreaking filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, David O. Russell, and Wes Anderson, as well as a slew of notable indie films. The festival has been home to Academy Award-nominated works like “CODA,” which is the only Sundance selection to win Best Picture, and quirky classics like “Napoleon Dynamite,” along with a number of horror hits, ranging from the original “Saw” to the summer smash “Talk to Me” in 2023.

This year’s lineup includes fresh premieres aimed at making an impact, featuring a musical reboot of “Kiss of the Spider Woman” (starring Jennifer Lopez) and the pop thriller “Opus,” as well as highly anticipated documentaries like “It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley,” “Sly Lives!” and “Pee-wee as Himself.”

Tickets for virtual screenings (starting Jan. 30) are available for cinema enthusiasts wishing to enjoy from home. However, if you want to commemorate the festival’s rich legacy, here are the top 10 all-time films from Sundance that you can stream to catch the essence of its greatest moments:

This movie played a crucial role in igniting the indie film movement, paving the way for Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs” just two years later.
