Best Movie To Ever Win the Palme d'Or?

Cannes starts this week!

What is the best movie to ever win the Palme d'Or? I made a list of all the movies that won, find it here: https://www.peliplat.com/en/list/collection/10074230/every-palme-d-or-winner

Making this list, I realized how many amazing movies have won this award. I think the best movie on the list is either Farewell My Concubine or Apocalypse Now.

What is your favourite movie that won the most coveted prize in all of film festivals? Let me know in the comments!

I haven't seen many of those, so my opinion is not valid, but The Conversation is the right answer

Call me a basic bitch, but I'd probably have to go with Parasite tbh.

Maybe "The Class" isn't the GOAT but it's definitely an underrated winner
