Date: 1957

Title: Modern Times

Director: Charles Chaplin

Date: 1936

Plot: The Tramp struggles to live in modern industrial society with the help of a young homeless woman.

Fun fact: Discounting later parodies and novelty films, this was the last major American film to make use of silent film conventions, such as title cards for dialogue. The very last dialogue title card of this film (and thus, it can be said, the entire silent era) belongs to The Tramp, who says "Buck up - never say die! We'll get along."

Title: Sunset Boulevard

Director: Billy Wilder

Date: 1950

Plot: A screenwriter is hired to rework a faded silent film star's script only to find himself developing a dangerous relationship.

Fun fact: For some scenes, cinematographer John F. Seitz would sprinkle dust into the air so it could be caught by the lights and create a moody effect. Seitz had used a similar technique on Double Indemnity (1944).

Title: The Night of the Hunter

Director: Charles Laughton 

Date: 1955

Plot: A religious fanatic marries a gullible widow whose young children are reluctant to tell him where their real daddy hid $10,000 he'd stolen in a robbery.

Fun fact: So disappointed was he by the poor reception of this film on its initial release both critically and commercially, Charles Laughton vowed never to direct a film again, and he never did. The film he was planning to direct next was going to be a screen adaptation of "The Naked and the Dead."

Fun fact: Banned in Finland until 1965 because of its depiction of authentic pickpocketing techniques.

Director: Howard Hawks

Date: 1959

Plot: A small-town sheriff in the American West enlists the help of a cripple, a drunk, and a young gunfighter in his efforts to hold in jail the brother of the local bad guy.

Fun fact: Quentin Tarantino has said that before he enters into a relationship with a girl, he always shows her this film; if she doesn't like it, there is no relationship.

Title: Blade Runner

Director: Ridley Scott

Date: 1982

Plot: A blade runner must pursue and try to terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator.

Fun fact: Ridley Scott and Jordan Cronenweth achieved the famous 'shining eyes' effect by using a technique invented by 'Fritz Lang' known as the 'Schüfftan Process'; light is bounced into the actors' eyes off a piece of half mirrored glass mounted at a forty five degree angle to the camera.

Title: Blue Velvet

Director: David Lynch

Date: 1986

Plot: The discovery of a severed human ear found in a field leads a young man on an investigation related to a beautiful, mysterious nightclub singer and a group of psychopathic criminals who have kidnapped her child.

Fun fact: Several of the actors who were considered for the role of Frank found the character too repulsive and intense. Dennis Hopper, by contrast, is reported to have exclaimed, "I've got to play Frank. Because I am Frank!"

Title: A Man Escaped

Title: The Third Man

Director: Carol Reed

Date: 1949

Plot: Pulp novelist Holly Martins travels to shadowy, postwar Vienna, only to find himself investigating the mysterious death of an old friend, Harry Lime.

Fun fact: Carol Reed went to great lengths to capture the atmosphere of the beleaguered city on film, and he was helped along by city officials and ordinary inhabitants. On nights when rain was unavailable to give the cobblestone streets the appropriate glistening sheen, for example, the city would provide a fire brigade to wet things down. Reed also incorporated many local residents into the film as extras such as the often glimpsed balloon seller.

Plot: A young woman meets a vital young man, but their love affair is doomed because of the man's materialistic nature.

Fun fact: Final part of the unofficial "Incommunicability Trilogy" also including L'Avventura (1960) and The Night (1961).

Title: Children of Paradise

Director: Marcel Carne

Date: 1945

Plot: The theatrical life of a beautiful courtesan and the four men who love her.

Fun fact: The film's title refers to the people who sat in the upper balcony of the theatre. This is where the lower classes sat, as the seats were significantly cheaper that the ones below (as noted in the film itself). It is the French equivalent of the term used in English theatres, "the gods."

Title: La Grande Illusion

Director: Jean Renoir

Date: 1937

Plot: During the First World War, two French soldiers are captured and imprisoned in a German P.O.W. camp. Several escape attempts follow until they are sent to a seemingly impenetrable fortress which seems impossible to escape from.

Fun fact: Joseph Goebbels made sure that the film's print was one of the first things seized by the Germans when they occupied France. He referred to Jean Renoir as "Cinematic Public Enemy Number 1".
