This is going to be similar to my 'most famous paintings ever' thread. Each post will reflect a film considered a 'classic' or a 'great'. Discuss the films posted or films you consider to be some of the greats.


1. 

Title: Vertigo

Director: Alfred Hitchcock 

Date: 1958

Plot: A San Francisco detective suffering from acrophobia investigates the strange activities of an old friend's wife, all the while becoming dangerously obsessed with her.

Fun fact: Poorly received by U.S. critics on its release, this film is now hailed as Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece.

Title: Citizen Kane

Director: Orson Welles

Date: 1941

Plot: Following the death of a publishing tycoon, news reporters scramble to discover the meaning of his final utterance.

Fun fact: The film's opening - just the title, no star names - was almost unprecedented in 1941. It is now the industry norm for Hollywood blockbusters.

Title: Tokyo Story

Director: Yasujiro Ozu

Date: 1953

Plot: An old couple visit their children and grandchildren in the city; but the children have little time for them.

Fun fact: The film is notable for its use of the "tatami-mat" shot, in which the camera height is low and remains largely static throughout.

Title: The Rules of the Game

Director: Jean Renoir

Date: 1939

Plot: A bourgeois life in France at the onset of World War II, as the rich and their poor servants meet up at a French chateau.

Fun fact: When the film opened in 1939, initial reception of it was so bad that one viewer lit a newspaper and tried to burn the theater that it was playing in. There were even threats to other theaters.

Title: Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans

Director: FW Murnau

Date: 1927

Plot: An allegorical tale about a man fighting the good and evil within him. Both sides are made flesh - one a sophisticated woman he is attracted to and the other his wife.

Fun fact: F.W. Murnau hated using title cards in his films. Thus, in Sunrise (1927), the title cards become more and more infrequent as the film progresses and virtually non-existent by the end.

Title: 2001: A Space Odyssey 

Director: Stanley Kubrick

Date: 1968

Plot: Humanity finds a mysterious, obviously artificial object buried beneath the Lunar surface and, with the intelligent computer H.A.L. 9000, sets off on a quest.

Fun fact: The last movie made about men on the moon before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrinwalked there in real life. More than 40 years later there are still conspiracy theorists who insist that this is not a coincidence, claiming that all footage of Armstrong's voyage was a hoax film directed by Stanley Kubrick using leftover scenes and props from this movie.

Title: The Searchers

Director: John Ford

Date: 1956

Plot: An American Civil War veteran embarks on a journey to rescue his niece from the Comanches.

Fun fact: Reportedly this film was seen in a theater in Texas by Buddy Holly and his friends in the summer of 1956. They were so impressed with Ethan's (John Wayne) repeated use of the phrase "That'll be the day" that they used it as the title for their now standard rock song, which they composed soon after.

Title: Man with a Movie Camera

Director: Dziga Vertov

Date: 1929

Plot: A man travels around a city with a camera slung over his shoulder, documenting urban life with dazzling invention.

Fun fact: A revelation in its day, the film was noted for introducing all sorts of camera techniques to audiences. Some of these include double exposure, fast motion, slow motion, freeze frames, jump cuts, split screens, Dutch angles, extreme close-ups, tracking shots, backwards footage and stop motion animation.

Title: The Passion of Joan of Arc

Director: Carl Theodor Dreyer

Date: 1928

Plot: In 1431, Jeanne d'Arc is placed on trial on charges of heresy. The ecclesiastical jurists attempt to force Jeanne to recant her claims of holy visions.

Fun fact: After completing the original cut of the film, director Carl Theodor Dreyer learned that the entire master print had been accidentally destroyed. With no ability to re-shoot, Dreyer re-edited the entire film from footage he had originally rejected.

Title: 8 1/2

Director: Federico Fellini 

Date: 1963

Plot: A harried movie director retreats into his memories and fantasies.

Fun fact: 8½ was shot, like almost all Italian movies at the time, completely without sound recording on set. All dialogue was dubbed during post production. Fellini was known for shouting direction at his actors during shooting, and for rewriting dialogue afterwards, making a lot of the dialogue in the movie appear out-of-sync.

I don't really like 2001, but I think CK is great and Vertigo is one of my favourites
