Known for revolutionizing the independent film industry "sex, lies, and videotape" was added to the U.S National Film Registration in 2006 as being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The low-budget film won the 1989 Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or award. It also won an Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival and Soderbergh was nominated for an Academy Award for his screenplay.

In the film James Spader's character, Graham, films women talking about their sexual desires. It follows dulled housewife Ann (Andy MacDowell) and her scumbag husband, John (Peter Gallagher), as John has sex with Ann's sister and Ann falls for Graham, John's college friend. Graham - a drifter who has arrived in town with little more than his handicap and a box of tapes - is quiet and sweet, soulful and very sexy. John is a lawyer; slick, conniving and low.

Whether you've already seen it or not, don't miss this film that Roger Egbert says "is never boring, and there are moments when it reminds us of how sexy the movies used to be".
