7. Working A Crowd Hasn't Really Changed That Much (The Canterbury Tales, 1972)
Some people like classic British wrestling, while others prefer classic British literature. There's a third group, though - a much, much smaller group - who would prefer not to have to choose, and for them, 1972's The Canterbury Tales is an ideal production. Directed by legendary Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini, the adaptation of the book that helped define the modern English language featured Street in a cameo at the very beginning, playing a fighter. While a brief appearance by 'The Exotic One' may not seem like a huge deal, those who were fans of Street because of wrestling and saw him in the movie undoubtedly did a pronounced double-take.
