  1. JFK (2013)
    "Directed by Costa-Gavras, this political thriller explores the assassination of a Greek politician and the subsequent cover-up. Stone has cited Costa-Gavras as a primary influence on his work, recalling that he "was certainly one of my earliest role models,...I was a film student at NYU when Z came out, which we studied."" Oliver Stone Wikipedia
  2. Serpico (1973)
    "Amid a tense political climate, the opposition leader is killed in an apparent accident. When a prosecutor smells a cover-up, witnesses get targeted. A thinly veiled dramatization of the assassination of Greek politician Grigoris Lambrakis and its aftermath, “Z” captures the outrage at the US-backed junta that ruled Greece at the time of its release."
  3. Argo (2012)
    "The political themes and storytelling techniques of Costa-Gavras's *Z* influenced *Argo*. Affleck listed Costa-Gavras's films as influences for his film." Costa-Gavras Wikipedia
