The film that changed Hollywood forever.
American GraffitiAmerican Graffiti
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $5.50
Probably my second-favorite film of all time. I think we can all relate to Richard Dreyfuss in this one. Plus, the soundtrack is to die for!
The Umbrellas of CherbourgThe Umbrellas of Cherbourg
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $11.49
I want to live in this movie! It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I strongly recommend it. It's one of my favorite foreign films, and the ending is so moving and bittersweet.
Annie HallAnnie Hall
Buy used from: $12.45
The quintessential Woody Allen film, and one of the best portrayals of modern relationships. Keaton has rarely been better.
Day for NightDay for Night
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $6.59
A classic from the incomparable Francois Truffaut, and, in my opinion, the best film ever made about movie making.
ManhattanManhattan
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $8.99
I watch this every year on 9/11, and the Gershwin soundtrack is just the cherry on top. 'You have to have a little faith in people!'
LolitaLolita
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $5.87
An underrated Kubrick classic. Just TRY getting 'Lolita Ya Ya' out of your head after you've watched this.

The Godfather - The Coppola RestorationThe Godfather - The Coppola Restoration
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $5.50
One of the most quotable movies ever made. It's dark, brooding, and an all-around amazing Hollywood epic.

The epitome of classic Hollywood film making.

Breakfast at Tiffany'sBreakfast at Tiffany's
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.99
Don't write this off as a chick flick--it's sad and even vaguely dark for an Audrey vehicle. I find it to be incredibly moving, and there's a sense of melancholy that pervades the entire film. See it for yourself!
Rear Window (Universal Legacy Series)Rear Window (Universal Legacy Series)
Buy new: $18.99 / Used from: $16.99
Possibly my favorite Hitchcock, and definitely Kelly's finest hour.
My Life to LiveMy Life to Live

The best of the B films!

Maybe it's just the history geek in me, but this movie is thrilling. I absolutely love it.
