- 'Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles' Year of Release: 1975. Akerman's magnum opus is an epic, meticulously crafted slice of film.

- 'I, You, He, She' Year of Release: 1974. "I realized I was hungry." I, You, He, She was Akerman's feature debut, and it includes many of her trademarks: a slow pace, a focus on romantic relationships, themes of alienation, and the search for connection.
- 'News from Home' Year of Release: 1976. "I dream about you and hope you're happy." This experimental documentary combines long takes of locations in New York City with voice-over of Akerman reading letters she received from her mother between 1971 and 1973 while she lived in the city.
