Man, does every film professor teach Do The Right Thing?
I recommend Erendira, a Mexican film from 1983. It may be a little hard to get a hold of, but it's an amazing film. It's based on a short story from 100 Years of Solitude, adapted by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. If you can find it, it's a great film to discuss symbolism and imagery.
Also consider Hitchcock's Rear Window, which can be read as a commentary on film itself.
