Cult Clip: The Harder They Come (1972)

The Harder They Come definitely has one of the best movie soundtracks ever, along with being a great slice of gritty Jamaican realism.

Ivanhoe Martin (Jimmy Cliff) heads to Kingston to make it as a reggae singer, but ends up drifting into a life of crime - then becoming the "most wanted" after killing a policeman. A film you really should own. Check out the trailer.
