The Crow

Rock singer Eric Draven and his fiancée Shelly are brutally murdered on Devil's Night, a night when the henchmen of crime-boss Top Dollar traditionally indulge in wanton acts of violence and arson. One year later, a crow brings Draven's restless soul back from the dead and he sets out to wreak vengeance upon his killers. And, gifted with new powers, Draven is a little harder to stop!

A simplistic and dark plot, this movie actually has a bit more depth, with themes of redemption throughout. In the process of taking his revenge, Draven takes down the whole crime syndicate, restores a relationship between a mother and daughter, and helps bring a local cop to a sense of resolution. While some of the writing is clever, the film is mostly famous because its protagonist, Brandon Lee (son of legendary Bruce Lee), was ironically and accidentally killed during the film's shooting.
