El Norte -- Brother and sister Enrique and Rosa flee persecution at home in Guatemala and journey north, through Mexico and on to the United States, with the dream of starting a new life. It's a story that happens every day, but until Gregory Nava's groundbreaking El Norte, the personal travails of immigrants crossing the border to America had never been shown in the movies with such urgent humanism.

Death in Venice -- Luchino Visconti's exquisite masterpiece is a tender story of a dying man struggling to overcome the untimely likelihood of his death while consumed by love for an enchanting young man.
