Most are films that were succesful (or at least, made decent money) at the box office while being heavily praised by the critical community.
That said, there will be no film that is universally praised. For one, there's always someone who wants to be the dude who hates the movie everyone loves. Several people here take pleasure in being THAT dude. If we all love City of God, it's pretenious. If we love Batman Begins, it's boring. Etc.
