The 20 Most Unforgettable Sundance Films Ever

"What began in 1978 as the Utah/United States Film Festival to help promote American independent cinema and boost film production in the Beehive State didn't officially become the Sundance Film Festival until Robert Redford's Sundance Institute officially took it over in 1985. Since then, Sundance has become one of the most influential film festivals on the planet. The festival has been introducing us to great films and great filmmakers for decades; almost two generations' worth of our favorite films have sprung from the snow-covered but fertile ground of Park City. Here's a chronological look at the 20 most transformative films to come out of Sundance, from 1984's Blood Simple to 2017's Get Out."
