Hollywoodism: Jews, Movies and the American Dream 1998
Interesting documentary on the origins of Hollywood at its surface, academic and dated at times, but with a deeper meaning about the story of immigration in the USA. It does manage to go beyond the Jewish immigration experience and become global. It can get cringy at times for the modern audience (e.g. the section about the Jazz Singer and blackface).

Zeder 1983
Effective and creepy little movie by the most underated Italian Horror Master, Pupi Avati, who also directed one of the best giallo-horror movies out there, The House with the Laughing Windows (1976). Avati creates an unsettleling atmosphere, while completely avoiding any gore or violence, going against the norm of the genre (look no further than what Fulci, Argento and the rest where doing at the time).
