It’s hard to believe that our favorite 2004 films are turning 20 this year!
So you already know we had to celebrate with a spotlight on three of our favorites from the year. But with so many incredible and timeless films to choose from, we're narrowing it down to three outstanding indie darlings of 2004!
Enjoy a little recap of 2004's biggest and best movies, including the top 10 highest-grossing hits, underrated gems, personal favorites, and the most iconic movies that defined the year. After that, we're diving into three-handpicked indie favorites chosen by Nicholas Ybarra, Bella Efstratis, and our amazing guest, Ryan Lacen.

Nick starts us off with Sideways, Alexander Payne's witty and emotional road trip through wine country with Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church.
Ryan highlights Enduring Love, an underrated and haunting psychological thriller starring Daniel Craig.
And, Bella concludes with Napoleon Dynamite, Jared Hess' hilarious cult classic that left an indelible mark on the 2000s.
