Orfeu Negro

If you haven't seen the 1959 film "Black Orpheus", please do yourself a favour. Besides the shameless perve on Brazilian beauties of both genders, the film has a famously beautiful soundtrack by Luis Bonfa and Antonio Carlos Jobim, both seminal figures in the Bossa Nova movement. Set in a 1959 Rio favela during Carneval, it is both aurally and visually sublime - messy, lusty, colourful, real. Also, I would very much like to bone Breno Mello. I think he is dead now but.
