- 'A Woman Under the Influence' (1974) A Woman Under the Influence is essential viewing about womanhood; it's the intimate and heartbreaking portrayal of a desperate woman (arguably Rowlands' best performance of all time) with decaying mental health that leads her to conflict with her Los Angeles municipal construction worker husband (Peter Falk) and family.
- 'Opening Night' (1977) In this impeccable drama, a well-known actress (Rowlands) struggles to deal with her trauma, involving a young woman killed in an accident while attempting to meet her, as she counts down the days toward a big Broadway opening.
- 'Faces' (1968) In this classic 1968 marriage drama, Richard Forst (John Marley) grows tired of his wife (Lynn Carlin) and decides to leave her for another woman (Rowlands).
- 'Love Streams' (1984) In Love Streams, husband and wife Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands play wounded and middle-aged siblings. When the two find themselves abandoned by their loved ones, they reunite and provide each other with comfort and solace.

Like his contemporaries in the New Hollywood Cinema movement, crime was a frequent fascination for many of Cassavetes' films. The Killing of a Chinese Bookie follows a nightclub owner who gets himself in hot water with the mob over gambling debts and has to go to extraordinary measures to pay up. Cassavetes' frequent collaborator, Ben Gazzara, star...
Interpersonal relationships were a big focus of the films written and directed by Cassavetes. Minnie and Moskowitz tells the story of a young woman who works as a museum curator and falls in love with a strange parking attendant. From crime to romantic comedy, Cassavetes proved that he understood the human psyche when writing his scripts. The film ...
Before he pushed boundaries with his independent films, Cassavetes co-wrote and directed a few Hollywood pictures. Too Late Blues tells the story of an aimless musician who would rather play his music than ever compromise his strict moral code about selling out. His strictness puts him at odds with his band and his new love interest. RELATED: 10 Be...
Just as the world was revolting against the 1960s status quo, so too was John Cassavetes revolting against the structure of traditional filmmaking. Faces is the story of a separated couple who struggle to find happiness in close proximity to one another and their mutual friends. Though the film was made extremely cheaply, the focus is on the proces...
After shattering boundaries with his formless film Faces, Cassavetes returned to more traditional filmmaking but with his own unique spin. A Woman Under the Influence tells the story of a married woman who suffers from a mental illness that threatens to unravel her life. Unlike many films that handled mental illness in a ham-fisted way, Influence o...
Proving himself with other Hollywood films, Cassavetes was tapped to direct his biggest project up to that point. A Child is Waiting tells the story of a concert pianist who is hired to teach music at a school for children with learning challenges. She takes a special interest in a particularly lonely student and she puts herself at odds with the s...
Honing his craft and returning his focus to strong female characters, Cassavetes delivered a unique drama-thriller in Gloria, the story of a woman who becomes the guardian of a young boy whose parents were killed by the mob. Learning she is in possession of a book that the mobsters want, Gloria takes the young boy on the run from the gangsters. In ...
Casting himself in a large role, Cassavetes proved that he could pull double duty as actor and director. Opening Night follows an actress as she spirals out of control leading up to the opening of a huge Broadway show that she stars in.

Before he would do it again to greater acclaim, Cassavetes took his first stab at improvisational filmmaking with Shadows. The film explores interracial relationships and friendships between members of New York City's beat scene of the 1950s. Though it didn't reach as large an audience as Faces, Cassavetes' Shadows is equally groundbreaking for its...
In many ways, Love Streams is the culmination of Cassavetes' life as an artist, although he would continue to make films afterward. The film follows a pair of ex-lovers who reunite after years of separation and find that they have both been broken by life's hardships. As a mirror to their own frequent artistic relationship, the film stars Gena Rowl...
