How to Lose a Wife and Find a Lover (1978)

In Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It (1986), we follow the love life of powerful female protagonist Nola Darling (Tracy Camilla Johns) and explore the relationship dynamics she has with her partners. She sees three men simultaneously: Greer Childs, (John Canada Terrell) Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee), and Jamie Overstreet (Tommy Redmond Hicks). Though an 80’s film, She’s Gotta Have It is surprisingly progressive with its themes of female sexuality, although at some points in the film it is handled clumsily. Overall Nola is an incredibly compelling character especially for modern women, as we as a society acknowledge female sensuality more and more without the negative stigma.

This reboot of The Wonder Years is told from the lens of a Black man.

Friendships are tested when two girls have a crush on the popular boy at school.

The tale of two friends spans three films and gives wonderful representation for young girls everywhere.

We are constantly being pushed to move on from mishaps and negative feelings. What happens if we're not ready to do so?

Hitchcock is no stranger to innuendo, as was common in that era, but there was something so sophisticated about his approach to 'Rope', and it starts in the first frame.
