《貧民窟的百萬富翁》(2008年)

入選理由:從孩子的視角抓拍一個城市的演變;一首對友誼和愛情的禮贊

故事采用倒敘方式。警方傳喚了賈馬爾，因為他在一次獎金額高達數百萬美元的智力競賽節目中回答對了全部問題——除了僅剩的一個準備回答的問題。但沒人相信在印度貧民窟長大的賈馬爾不作弊就能知道這些答案。在影片的倒敘中，賈馬爾向警察解釋稱他沒有作弊，而是他經受過的辛酸童年命中注定般地為他提供了所有的正確答案。通過描繪賈馬爾面對困境時的抗爭，這部電影十分吸引人，而且即使在最糟糕的處境中，它也能以合情合理的方式給人以希望。

《百萬美元寶貝》(2004年)

入選理由:講述了在職業拳擊的無情世界里，一個關于夢想的力量和追求夢想的代價的故事，深入探討了生活的酸甜苦辣

這是關于一個無人賞識的拳擊教練的故事。他有著令人難以捉摸的過去，為了救贖，他幫助一名業余女拳擊手實現她成為職業拳擊手的夢想。電影完全將拳擊用作一個時而優雅、時而野蠻的隱喻——生活的艱辛、我們必須克服的全部困難、不能放棄的那些夢想，以及即便最輝煌的故事也有的那些苦樂參半的結局。

《美麗心靈》(2001年)

入選理由:故事描繪了人類心靈的神秘、克服逆境后的勝利以及愛情的治愈力量

這是一個關于約翰·納什的真實故事。這位數學天才30歲就成了一個傳奇，但同時他也患上了精神分裂癥。幸虧妻子無私的愛和數學界的不斷資助，在經歷了數十年像鬼一樣的生存后，他再次崛起，在1994年獲得諾貝爾獎，蜚聲國際。

《勇敢的心》(1995年)

入選理由:一趟回歸13世紀的不列顛之旅，和對第一次蘇格蘭獨立戰爭中著名勇士威廉·華萊士一生的回顧

故事發生在英格蘭王愛德華一世占領了蘇格蘭的大部分領土后，對當地人民強令推行殘忍不公政策的時期。這部電影描繪了威廉·華萊士史詩般的故事，盡管他只是一個農民，但是這個土生土長的蘇格蘭人卻領導了反抗全副武裝的英國軍隊的起義運動。這部獲獎電影前無古人地在電影中呈現了最真實的戰爭畫面。這部電影歷久彌香，也比你手中的歐洲歷史課本要有趣得多。

《阿甘正傳》(1994年)

入選理由:20世紀60年代、70年代和80年代的動蕩時光一瞥，完整呈現了“越南戰爭”、“民權運動”及“水門事件”等相關情景

影片以主人公福利斯特·甘為主線，從他追崇“貓王”的孩提時光一直講述到他長大成人的當代。阿甘是來自阿拉巴馬一個小鎮的普通人，他智商偏低，卻一樣很可愛。隨著影片中阿甘沿著記憶之路找尋兒時的摯愛珍妮，我們愉快地追憶生活中那段非同尋常的年代。隨著故事情節的展開，影片著實都提到了那些年代里政治、經濟和社會活動中最著名的時刻及最重大的事件，而且還將這些內容與故事線索不著痕跡地揉合在一起。這部電影一上映就成為經典，非常值得一看。

《炎熱的夜晚》(1967年)

入選理由:對20世紀60年代很多人所持有的種族主義態度的觀察

一個南部小鎮發生了一起謀殺案后，極端種族主義者、南部白人警長比爾·吉利斯比被迫與一名民權活動分子、兇殺案黑人偵探西德尼·博伊提爾合作辦案。對這起發生在密西西比州斯巴達小鎮看似偶然的謀殺案，這部十足的警匪片將種族主義看作既是案件的原因也是謀殺案的結果。美國國會圖書館甚至稱這部電影具有“重要的文化意義”。
