- Ms. 45 (1981) The rape-revenge arc and hard-boiled title may root Ms. 45 in the exploitation tradition, but Ferrara’s vision is far more audacious. Zoe Lund plays Thana, the picture’s avenging angel, exacting random and violent retribution on the men of New York.
- Fear City (1984) Though lacking the rich thematic textures that would come to define his later narratives of urban grit, Fear City is the quintessential early Ferrara policier – a lurid chronicle of nocturnal misdeeds, awash with salaciousness.
- King of New York (1990) Unlike the work of many of his contemporaries, Ferrara’s films are not derailed by big performances – they adjust to them. The best examples filter the director’s thematic concerns through performances of unhinged grandeur.
- Bad Lieutenant (1992) With Bad Lieutenant, Ferrara equated the death drive of his protagonist with that of New York itself, entwining the fate of both the man and the city.
- 'The Hawks and the Sparrows' (1966) Director: Pier Paolo Pasolini. A working-class father (Totò) and his son (Ninetto Davoli) embark on a journey through the Italian countryside.
- 'Prison' (1949) Director: Ingmar Bergman. The legendary Ingmar Bergman gets meta with this early work, crafting a borderline surreal drama about the filmmaking process.
- 'Zero for Conduct' (1933) Director: Jean Vigo. At a strict and oppressive boarding school, a group of young boys finally have had enough. Fed up with the stultifying conditions, they decide to revolt and stage a rebellion.
- 'The Devils' (1971) Director: Ken Russell. Almost as controversial as Salò, The Devils is a historical horror-drama set in 17th-century France and inspired by real events.
