If you loved F.I.S.T., try In the Heat of the Night
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Norman Jewison, and they both carry the outsider, raw mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to F.I.S.T., the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What In the Heat of the Night is
Sparta, Mississippi, summer, a train station. A black detective stands accused, a racist chief resents his presence, a complex web of town secrets. Norman Jewison directs a tense exploration of racial tension and crime.
