MODERN TIMES
1936
By Charles Chaplin
87 minutes

Chaplin's Modern Times has influenced the 20th century as much as any other film could have. His portrayal of man vs. machine, individual vs. group, love vs. industry...is the framework of classic modern American "anti-progressive" thinking.

ALIEN
1979
By Ridley Scott
117 minutes

It's amazing that this is over 20 years old - apart from the actors looking so young, the film doesn't feel dated at all. The sci-fi visions here are still bleak and futuristic as they were then.

By Michael Curtiz
102 minutes

Casablanca remains Hollywood's finest moment ... This is the film that played by the rules while elevating the form, and remains the touchstone for those who talk about Hollywood's greatness.

NORTH BY NORTH-WEST
1959
By Alfred Hitchcock
131 minutes

Its Hitch's most briskly entertaining movie, and one of his most comic, adventure-caper type movies, largely thanks to the persona of Cary Grant. But its also one of his most suspenseful - in the fact that Grant is being recognised as someone else, and that he may be put in jail for someone else's crime.

PSYCO
1960
By Alfred Hitchcock
109 minutes

When you look up the phrase Horror Film in the dictionary a picture of Janet Leigh screaming in a shower should appear next to it. The story is incredible. The acting is near perfection. The cinematography is godly. The soundtrack is perfect. It's hard to find anything wrong with Psycho.

IL BUONO, IL BRUTTO, IL CATTIVO (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly)
1960
By Sergio Leone
161 minutes

This movie is hypnotic. It's operatic. It's sad. It's funny. It's gritty. It's violent. It's art. It's action. It's pure entertainment. The film is just so incredible on so many different levels that EVERYONE should see it. And it's so cool that the greatest flick ever just happens to be a spaghetti western.

What makes this film one of the best ever made is the message it conveys. It is one of eternal hope. Andy Dufresne, has been sent to prison for a crime he did not commit. But he never loses hope.
