I enjoyed a lot "Hirak Rajar Deshey" by Satyajit Ray. It makes people aware of the oppression of the ruler and gives them courage to protest.

The Birth of a Nation
It was groundbreaking for film as a means of storytelling — a masterpiece of literary narrative with numerous innovative visual techniques. The film initiated so many advances in American cinema that it was rendered obsolete within a few years.

Braveheart.

The Godfather(1972)
It is superb with its narrative power, extraordinary performances and mythic values register as strongly for younger viewers as they did at the time. The film also happens to stand at the precise midpoint between the arrival of sound films and the present.

Meghe Dhaka Tara (1960)
This film was written and directed by Ritwik Ghatak, and is based on a novel by Shaktipada Rajguru. The movie is based on the 1947 partition of Bengal and how the refugees coped with it.

A Streetcar Named Desire (1951 film)
A Streetcar Named Desire is a 1951 American drama film, adapted from Tennessee Williams's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1947 play of the same name. It tells the story of a southern belle, Blanche Dubois, who, after encountering a series of personal losses, leaves her aristocratic background seeking refuge with her sister and brother-in-law in a dilapidated New Orleans tenement. True to the play, the film is both lyrical and gritty, with complex and contradictory characters.
