The 28 best films of all time you've probably never seen

When it comes to awards and appraisal, there are some films that clean up every year.

In 2017, we had "La La Land" and "Moonlight," while 2016 saw "Deadpool,""Rogue One," and "Finding Dory" take the stage.

With so much attention on these superstar blockbusters, it becomes far too easy for a quality movie to fall through the cracks — even with a star-studded cast and reputable director behind it.

Business Insider asked 10 film industry experts, critics, board directors, and editors at some of the world's leading film committees and publications — from BAFTA to Empire magazine — for three of their favourite films through the years that haven't received the attention they deserve.

Including everything from gory, vintage horror to stop-motion family flicks, scroll on to discover 28 of the best films of all time that you've probably never heard of.

"The Warrior" (2002) — directed by Asif Kapadia.

Marc Samuelson, Chair of the BAFTA Film Committee, believes that many acclaimed British directors first gained wider public attention after receiving BAFTAs in the "Outstanding Debut" category. Seven of such films are currently screening in cinemas across the UK as part of the BAFTA Debuts tour. One example of this from previous years is "The Warrior"— the story of a lone warrior in rural India attempting to escape his violent past.

Documentary master Asif Kapadia's debut feature-length film won two BAFTAs. "Before the BAFTA-winning [biography] 'Senna' and the BAFTA and Oscar-winning [documentary] 'Amy,' there was this sumptuous epic starring renowned Indian actor Irrfan Khan," Samuelson said.

"Hunger" (2008) — directed by Steve McQueen.

According to Samuelson, "Hunger" is an "unflinching dramatisation of the last weeks in the life of Provisional IRA member Bobby Sands, played by Michael Fassbender.

"McQueen followed this up with the BAFTA-nominated 'Shame,' and the seminal BAFTA- and Oscar-winning '12 Years a Slave,'" Samuelson added.

"Red Road" (2006) — directed by Andrea Arnold.

"A BAFTA-winner in 2007, 'Red Road' is the debut of Andrea Arnold," Marc Samuelson said.

"This visually striking story of female isolation is a bold introduction to the work of Arnold, who has gone on to win a BAFTA for 'Fish Tank,' and was nominated in 2017 for 'American Honey.'"
