New York movies: Wild Style (1983)
Charlie Ahearn’s legendary docudrama captured onscreen as never before the worlds of hip-hop and graffiti, with appearances from Grandmaster Flash, Fab 5 Freddy, street artist Lee Quinones, break-dancers the Rock Steady Crew and more. It’s an unparalleled artifact of a tagging, popping and body-rocking era.—Alison Willmore
