The original and best adaptation of Hemingway's sweeping WW1 novel. Cooper positively smoulders as the US ambulanceman who falls in love with an English nurse and finally goes AWOL to join her only to find, tragically, that he may be too late. Oscars for Best Cinematography and Sound.

A British made, 1950s epic charting the sinking of the unsinkable. On April 10th 1912, the luxury liner Titanic set sail on its maiden voyage. Four days later, it sank in just 2 hours 40 minutes, needlessly claiming the lives of 1,500 passengers and crew. Infinitely less glamourous than the contemporary Hollywood version, what it lacks in gloss it makes up for with no-nonsense, straightforward storytelling. Truth is, the hard facts are far more shocking than anything Tinseltown could come up wit

Seen through the eyes of a young girl, we observe her life, and that of her parents, in a Brooklyn tenement at the turn of the 19th Century. Dad is a hopeless, but loveable dreamer, the mother a hardened realist, struggling to keep the family together. Directed by Elia Kazan, who would go on to Academy recognition with A Street Car Named Desire and On The Waterfront, and taken from Betty Smith's acclaimed novel; A Tree Grows In Brooklyn is a deeply moving and beautifully evoked drama.

Barbara Stanwyck plays a wayward mother who returns home to a hostile town, marvellous as the struggling actress who yearns for her old life. Though set in the past, the evocation of rural small-town life - a seeming idyllic little world poisoned with gossip, social prejudice, and double standards - isn't all that far from the modern suburbia of Sirk's All That Heaven Allows.

Mind those steps! Perhaps the most famous movie scene in the history of cinema. The documentary style story of mutiny aboard the Potemkin as the sailors fight oppression and fire on Tzarist troops attempting to quell rebellion in the city of Oddessa. Almost every shot is so beautiful it could work as a still.

A landmark in the history of the cinema; it was ranked Number 1 in the American Film Institute's 100 greatest films of all time in two polls (1998 and 2007) of more than 1,500 film industry movers and shakers and again by UK directors in a BFI poll. "Citizen Kane" narrates the rise and fall of a newspaper tycoon driven by a childhood obssession and is loosely based round the life of William Randolph Hurst, who tried to have it banned, but incorporates elements from the lives of other fat cats il

The beautiful Venice waterfront scenery and frustated emotions abound in this cinema classic from Thomas Mann's novel. Dirk Bogarde is an ageing gay man who fantasises whistfully about a young boy who is in the same hotel on the Lido. A revealing tale as much about old age grieving for lost youth as it is about obsession and homosexuality.
