Comments

The Searchers

1956 USA

Film of a lifetime.

Battleship Potemkin

1925 USSR

true and pure film, more than ever.

Citizen Kane

1941 USA

The one.

To Have and Have Not

1945 USA

"You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve?"

Apocalypse Now

1979 USA

For the back- and downside: "Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse" (1991), in part directed by Eleanor Coppola.

JEDER FÜR SICH UND GOTT GEGEN ALLE

1974 Federal Republic of Germany

So German.

Gone with the Wind

1939 USA

Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara: "After all, tomorrow is another day."

MASCULIN FÉMININ 15 FAITS PRÉCIS

1966 France, Sweden

What about Jean-Pierre Léaud recording a message for his girl?

ALICE IN DEN STÄDTEN

1974 Federal Republic of Germany

Just watch the boy nurturing his ice-cream cone while leaning against the juke box that plays "On the Road Again" by Canned Heat. Or Rüdiger Vogler sitting under the boardwalk and humming "Under the Boardwalk".

Barry Lyndon

1975 USA, United Kingdom

They don't make movies like that anymore, in fact they never did.
