The Conformist (Bertolucci, 1970)
In the late Bernardo Bertolucci's 1970 anti-fascist, art deco masterpiece, a repressed bisexual man in 1930s Italy marries a woman he doesn't love and works for the secret police in a desperate attempt to fit in. He is tasked with assassinating his former professor, a leftist dissident, during the final days of Mussolini's dictatorship. This expressionist masterpiece offered a blueprint for a new kind of film, which Coppola, Spielberg, and Scorsese would later be inspired by and indebted to. "One of only a handful of films in the past 30 years that truly deserve to be called great." - Washington Post
