‘The Naked Gun� (1988)

  • Updated

No surprise that a movie this fast and funny makes sure even the credits don’t waste a second. A parody of 1970s-style police shows, the sequence is shot from right behind the flashing light atop a cop car. The car zooms down a city street but then veers onto a sidewalk, through a car wash, onto a roller coaster and toward terrified bystanders. Everything you need to know about the movie is set up: It’s deadpan, sharply observed, hilarious and relentless.

'Ascenseur pour l’échafaud' (1958), Miles Davis

  • Updated

You likely know “Ascenseur pour l’échafaud� as one of Davis� final albums. The French film (known as “Elevator to the Gallows� in the U.S.) wasn’t exactly a blockbuster. But Davis and his band stunningly improvised the entire modal and cool jazz sounds in the studio while sequences of the film played on a loop.
