Ghost Dog, The Way of the Samurai
If you have to choose between this Whitaker and Idi, pick this.
Seabiscuit
The horse that made the Depression folk hoarse. Fun.
Hollywood Homicide
When Harrison isn't funny (and bumbles) he's almost unwatchable.
Se7ven
Rain and maggots are foremost, though you can make a case for Morgan.

Yes, the engagement is long, but it's also interesting to look at and follow.
La Strada
Fellini's tale of circus outsiders reflects an enduring national condition.
