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.

Last month, the film industry lost one of the most prolific actresses in history, Dame Maggie Smith.

With a stage and screen career that spanned seven decades, it was nearly impossible to pick only three films to highlight Maggie Smith's outstanding career, but we did our best.

• We start with Maggie Smith's Academy Award Winning performance as the enigmatic school teacher in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
• We switch gears with one of the most revered comedies of the 1990s, where Smith dons a habit in Sister Act.
• Finally, we discuss how tremendous she is in an ensemble piece in her Academy Award-nominated performance in Robert Altman's Gosford Park.

Obviously, these three films are just scratching the surface of Dame Maggie Smith's career, so please let us know your favorite performance.

• *AUDIENCE PICK*—Our wonderful audience selected the sensual thriller Indecent Proposal, in which Moore co-stars in a steamy love triangle with Robert Redford and Woody Harrelson.
• Finally, Moore goes an extra mile (or a hundred) with a physical and emotional transformation in Ridley Scott’s G.I. Jane.
