- All Quiet on the Western Front. Everyone thought that the Knives Out followup Glass Onion was going to be Netflix's big Oscar play, when out of nowhere came this German language import, the second page-to-screen adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's 1929 novel of the same name, a loosely fictionalized chronicle of his own harrowing time in the trenches fighting for the German army in World War I. The 1930 version won the third-ever Best Picture Oscar, and with nine nominations—including dual nods for Best Picture and Best International Feature Film—this remake has a strong chance of following suit.
- The Banshees of Inisherin. Actors Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson reteam with filmmaker Martin McDonagh (Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri) nearly 15 years after In Bruges for another depressingly funny, uniquely Irish tragicomedy, this one chronicling the abrupt dissolution of a lifelong friendship between two men living in a remote island community in 1920s Ireland.

- Top Gun: Maverick. Tom Cruise proved the haters wrong with his 35-years-later followup to 1986 mega-blockbuster Top Gun. The long-gestating sequel not only brought home major box office bank, possibly saving movie theaters from extinction (if you ask Steven Spielberg, at least), it also landed six Oscar nominations—including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Song for the Lady Gaga power ballad "Hold My Hand."

- All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) A new adaptation of the 1929 anti-war novel from Erich Maria Remarque, this new version didn't take home Best Picture nor Best Director as the original 1930 version did, but still, All Quiet wound up being the second-most awarded film on Oscar night 2023, behind Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once.
