Expanding on your choice(s) is definitely a plus. Not everyone knows about or has played non-mainstream titles.
Apocalypse World. First of all, it's a good game on its own with excellent theming, progression, innovative mechanics, etc. Second, the mechanics were so interesting and struck a great balance of several "narrativist" trends in the indie tabletop rpg scene while still being a traditional, team-based rpg with a GM, that it inspired multiple prher designers to use the mechanics to build their own games, spawning dozens of great "Powered by the Apocalypse" games. They all share a very cinematic feeling with little in the way of "crunch" while still having ample opportunities to roll dice.
