- All That Jazz. However, Fosse's greatest achievement as a filmmaker and as an artist is the film in which he choreographed his own death. While it was snubbed at the Oscars, only winning technical awards, "All That Jazz" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and has been immortalized by the National Film Registry and the Criterion Collection.
- Cabaret. Fosse's greatest success, and the dragon he chased for the rest of his life, is "Cabaret." The film took home eight Academy Awards, including best director, best actress, and best supporting actress (it lost best picture to "The Godfather"; in my humble opinion, if your masterpiece is going to lose best picture, it might as well be to another masterpiece).
- My Sister Eileen. This low-key '50s musical is surprisingly charming. Check it out if you get the chance! Its story has been adapted many times. It started as a series of short stories written by Ruth McKenny and published in The New Yorker.
- Sweet Charity. Fosse's directorial debut bombed at the box office and received mixed reviews, but it's pretty dang fun. It follows Charity Hope Valentine (Shirley MacLaine) as she bounces through life as a dancer-for-rent at a sleazy club and tries to make her way up in the world, balancing multiple love interests with the hopes that one of them will sweep her out of the gutter.
