City Lights
1931 USA
Slapstick to perfection and on a magnificent scale. Humor and heart.
Bringing Up Baby
1938 USA
These performances and direction in comedy can't be beat.
Meshes of the Afternoon
1943 USA
We owe so much formal and thematic innovation, the language of cinema, to Maya Deren and Meshes.
Psycho
1960 USA
It's Psycho!
Killer of Sheep
1977 USA
Joy and pain and life in America has never been rendered to so exquisitely beautifully.
Sink or Swim
1990 USA
Do we know a director who directs through editing as marvelously as Su Friedrich?
The Matrix
1999 USA, Australia
There is pre-Matrix cinema and post-Matrix cinema.
The Watermelon Woman

Black Queer cinematic excellence
Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles

Feminist cinema of its time and for the ages.
