- Streets of Fire (1984) Streets of Fire is more of an experience than a movie. And what an experience it is. A passion project of Hill’s, who worked on the movie with frequent collaborators Larry Gross, Joel Silver, Lawrence Gordon and Ry Cooder, Streets of Fire takes place in an alternate universe where it’s always nighttime, nobody is over the age of 30, and the overriding architectural and design aesthetic is an eye-popping mixture of the 1950s and 1980s.
- Southern Comfort (1981) Set in 1973, Southern Comfort is Hill’s balls-out survival film, pitting a band of Louisiana Army National Guardsmen, out in the swamp on weekend maneuvers, up against a bunch of bloodthirsty Cajuns.
- 48 Hrs. Hill’s first true blockbuster success, 48 Hrs. single-handedly invested the buddy movie and cemented Eddie Murphy’s ability to headline a major motion picture (it was his very first movie!)
- Wild Bill (1995) Undeterred by the financial and critical disappointment of Geronimo, Hill jumped back into the biographical western waters with Wild Hill, his most formally adventurous, emotionally involving western and one of his most unsung masterworks.
