She's Gotta Have it

Spike Lee's first film.
Nola Darling (portrayed by Tracy Camilla Johns) is a young, attractive, sexually-independent Brooklynite who juggles three suitors: the polite and well-meaning Jamie Overstreet (Tommy Redmond Hicks); the self-obsessed model Greer Childs (John Canada Terrell); and the immature, motor-mouthed Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee). Nola is attracted to the best in each of them, but refuses to commit to any of them, cherishing her personal freedom instead, even though each man wants her for himself.

 

Bonnie and Clyde

Bonnie and Clyde is considered a landmark film, and is regarded as one of the first films of the New Hollywood era, since it broke many cinematic taboos and was popular with the younger generation. Its success motivated other filmmakers to be more forward about presenting sex and violence in their films. The film's ending also became iconic as "one of the bloodiest death scenes in cinematic history".[3]

 

Blow Up

A mod London photographer seems to find something very suspicious in the shots he has taken of a mysterious beauty in a desolate park.

 

Grand Prix

American Grand Prix driver Pete Aron is fired by his Jordan-BRM racing team after a crash at Monaco that injures his British teammate, Scott Stoddard. While Stoddard struggles to recover, Aron begins to drive for the Japanese Yamura team, and becomes romantically involved with Stoddard's estranged wife.

 

North by Northwest

A hapless New York advertising executive is mistaken for a government agent by a group of foreign spies, and is pursued across the country while he looks for a way to survive.

 

Breathless

French film directed by Jean-Luc Godard. It was his first feature length work, and one of the earliest, most influential of the French New Wave.[1] At the time, the film attracted much attention for its bold visual style and the innovative use of jump cuts.

Breathless, together with François Truffaut's The 400 Blows and Alain Resnais's Hiroshima, Mon Amour, both released a year earlier, brought international acclaim to the French nouvelle vague.

 

Brazil

A bureaucrat in a retro-future world tries to correct an administrative error and himself becomes an enemy of the state.

 

Touch of Evil

Stark, perverse story of murder, kidnapping, and police corruption in Mexican border town.
Touch of Evil is one of the last examples of film noir in the genre's classic era (from the early 1940s until the late 1950s).

 

The Lady from Shanghai

Fascinated by gorgeous Mrs. Bannister, seaman Michael O'Hara joins a bizarre yachting cruise, and ends up mired in a complex murder plot.
The ending is renown in film history.

 

2001: A Space Odyssey

Humanity finds a mysterious, obviously artificial, object buried beneath the Lunar surface and, with the intelligent computer H.A.L. 9000, sets off on a quest.
