Directed by Alex Proyas • 1994 • United States
Starring Brandon Lee, Rochelle Davis, Ernie Hudson

This seductively grungy, operatically stylized thriller has achieved cult immortality both for its sleek noir world-building and for the impressive performance of Brandon Lee, whose tragic accidental death while filming lends it a haunting melancholy. One year after he and his fiancée were brutally murdered by a Detroit gang, rock musician Eric Draven (Lee) rises again as the Crow—a supernatural avenger hell-bent on retribution. The darkly ravishing goth aesthetic is perfectly complimented by a soundtrack that includes the Cure, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Rage Against the Machine, and more.
