19. Fiddler on the Roof (1971)

This film adaptation of the iconic musical brought to life Tevye's conflict with tradition. The movie, directed by Norman Jewison, depicts the Jewish shtetl experience in moving performances and dazzling cinematography. Songs like "If I Were a Rich Man" and "Tradition" are now culturally iconic. Three Oscars came back home to it, among which Best Cinematography is counted for the outstanding portrayal of the early 20th-century setting. A recent Broadway revival and discussions of a film remake show the story's enduring relevance, emphasizing family, faith, and resilience amidst change.
