- ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ (1975) There were “midnight movies” before the big-screen version of Richard O’Brien’s tongue-in-cheek stage show, assembled from the spare parts of science fiction double features, musical theater and underlined passages of “Notes on Camp.”
- ‘Saturday Night Fever’ (1977) Meet Tony Manero, age 19, a native of Brooklyn’s Bay Ridge. During the day, this outer-borough everyguy sells paint and bickers with his Italian-American family.
- ‘Cooley High’ (1975) Set in 1964 at the height of the Civil Rights Movement and scored by Motown’s vibrant back catalog, this coming-of-age tale follows a group of young, Black high schoolers in Chicago — led by the burgeoning poet Preach (Glynn Turman) and his college bound best friend Cochise (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs) — through a series of teenage hijinks (sneaking out of class, fights at house parties).
- ‘F for Fake’ (1973) Orson Welles is at his slipperiest in this essay film, as he imports his gift for telling plummy tall tales on the talk-show circuit to a feature-film format.

- 'The Apartment' (1960) Director: Billy Wilder. Standing as one of Billy Wilder's best-written movies (and that's really saying something), The Apartment is a blast, working as a hilarious comedy and a human romance/drama film all at once.
- 'High and Low' (1963) Director: Akira Kurosawa. Following Yojimbo and its 1962 sequel, Sanjuro, Akira Kurosawa reteamed with the great Toshiro Mifune and Tatsuya Nakadai for a non-samurai movie: High and Low.
- 'Psycho' (1960) Director: Alfred Hitchcock. Alfred Hitchcock was probably at his peak during the 1950s, because that was the decade that saw a particularly high number of classics released by the great director.
- 'Lawrence of Arabia' (1962) Director: David Lean. Lawrence of Arabia stuns because not only is it one of the biggest epics of all time, but it's also amazingly effective as a personal, intimate, and thought-provoking biopic.
