Been a while since I've watched it but Kids (1995) might qualify as fitting the category (not sure if it'd be a "best" though).
Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975) is often considered to be a prime example, I think.
Mike Leigh does movies like that. For instance: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100024/
Lost in Translation has a lot of seemingly mundane moments.
It's a cute movie about little boys refusing to speak because their parents won't let them watch the neighbor's TV. Set in a suburban Tokyo neighborhood in post-war Japan.
Would stranger than fiction count?

Its super cute and lovely and extremely extremely simple yet a really good watch.
There's a movie with Phillip s. Hoffman and he's just huffing paint the entire time.
