    Out of the Past
    There's much to relish here: a script which mixes pungent humour and tension, the pervading atmosphere of corruption and obsession, and a perfectly judged, tragically stoical performance from the sleepy-eyed Mitchum, not to forget Nicholas Musuraca's suitably shadowy cinematography.
  2. Casablanca
    A peerless example of Hollywood studio moviemaking, director Michael Curtiz turning the Warner backlot into a gloriously romantic vision of WW2-era Morocco crammed with real-life European exiles and larger-than-life character actors.

    Citizen Kane
    It's a visual feast, from the moody, horror-flick style opening which hovers over the gates of man-made mountain Xanadu, to the opera-house scene when we levitate hundreds of metres from Susan's awful stage debut to the workmen flinching in the rafters.
  4. Gone with the Wind
    Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh create their own sizzle as Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara in a lavish four-hour epic that juxtaposes scenes of jaw-dropping majesty – that aerial shot of the Confederates’ wounded, for example – with moments of elegant intimacy and playful verbal jousting.

    The Wizard of Oz
    This phantasmagorical fantasy really does represent old-school MGM filmmaking at its best – sets, make-up, costumes and music combining to quite stunning effect.
  6. Only Angels Have Wings
    One of [Hawks'] finest pictures: a swoony saga of fatalistic flyboys and the women who try to keep their feet on the ground.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Duck Soup
    Its relentless pot shots at war, religion and just about everything else making it more controlled chaos than movie.
  8. The Odyssey
    An attractive if conventional biopic of French underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau.
  9. Hotel Salvation
    Their wry, odd-couple chemistry is comfortingly familiar, but kept fresh by an insouciant realism that deftly avoids exotic cliché.
  10. The Lure
    Despite risking life and sanity, these American Dreamers are surprisingly cheerful, making for a light-hearted study of eccentric hobbyists.
  11. The Jungle Bunch
    Its attempt to cram in both origin story and follow-up adventure makes it a long haul for the target tinies.
  12. The Stolen
    A western as inept as it is preposterous.
  13. Ferrari: Race to Immortality
    Blending archive footage, contemporary interviews and dramatic reconstructions, the film reminds us how dangerous the sport could be.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Life of Jesus
    No, this isn't another tale about the son of the Almighty, but a perceptive, naturalistic study of disenchanted French youth, which effectively conveys the tedium and frustration of small-town life.
  15. Jupiter's Moon
    The sheer volume of potential readings eventually stalls on reductive soundbites about a faithless generation, but the set-pieces sizzle with style.
  16. The Nothing Factory
    Blurring the fiction/documentary lines (it features non-professional actors), it’s spiced with eccentricities.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Born and Bred
    Impressively acted and compassionately observed, it hovers intriguingly between reality and dream-state.
