Today marks the start of the Cannes Film Festival, widely considered one of film’s most elite and prestigious events. Despite some concerns about the festival’s secrecy, ballooning size, and demographics<\/a>, Cannes is still the gold standard for festivals, and its top prize, the Palme d’Or, remains one of the highest awards a filmmaker can receive.<\/p>\n

Appearing in competition at Cannes is an honor in itself. It’s also great for a film’s publicity: you might recognize some of last years entrants, including Amour<\/i>, Holy Motors<\/i>, Moonrise Kingdom<\/i>, Cosmopolis<\/i>, Killing Them Softly<\/i>, and On the Road<\/i>. This year holds some interesting surprises, including the next films from the Coen brothers and Drive<\/i> director Nicolas Winding Refn.<\/p>\n

Given Cannes’s storied seven-decade history, we have a large number of the festival’s winners. Read past the break for a full list of our Cannes-winning DVDs.
