A Certain Sacrifice is the singer Madonna's first movie made in September 1979 written and directed by Stephen Jon Lewicki. Madonna starred with Jeremy Pattnosh and Charles Kurtz.

Madonna achieved wide success five years after the making of this movie. Jon Lewicki invited her to view it and at the conclusion of the screening session, Madonna reportedly was not happy with the result. Subsequently a representative from Madonna offered to buy the rights for $5000 which Lewicki refused.
