Carrie
Everybody knows that Sissy Spacek is the one true Carrie. This adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie follows Carrie White, who faces abuse in and out of the household. Carrie learns that she possesses telekinetic powers, and a prank at the school prom goes famously awry.
Do the Right Thing
Spike Jonze's masterpiece on racial confrontation in New York, Do the Right Things, showcases rising tensions between a pizza shop and the neighborhood residents. A local patron becomes upset when he sees that every actor on the shop's Wall of Fame is Italian, believing that a pizzeria in a predominantly Black neighborhood should feature more Black actors. The owner, Sal, disagrees—and soon the wall becomes a symbol of racism and hate.
