The directorial debut of the Coen brothers ("The Big Lebowski," "No Country for Old Men") is a gritty neo-noir that showcases many of the hallmarks the duo would master in their movies to come. From the camerawork to the writing, there's a lot to love about this movie.

A year after the release of "The 400 Blows," Jean-Luc Godard would add to the French New Wave with his classic debut. Following a thief who is wanted by the police and the American girl he tries to run away to Italy with, the movie's use of dramatic jump cuts was revolutionary for the 1960s.

The Maysles brothers became nonfiction legends thanks to this all-access look at The Rolling Stones during their 1969 US tour. The movie will forever be remembered for capturing the violence and death that erupted when the Stones played at the free Altamont Speedway concert. The onstage filming captures all the chaos.

In the film that Charlie Chaplin said numerous times he wanted to be remembered for, he stars as a prospector in search of gold and comes across a lot more. The "roll dance" scene is one of the most memorable in movie history.

It's a movie that get better every time you see it. John Cusack plays a small-time conman who is up against his biggest challenge, his mother, played incredibly by Anjelica Huston. There are mind games aplenty in this one.

Sterling Hayden plays a crook who has the perfect robbery set up at a race track, until it all goes to hell. Stanley Kubrick's third film is by-the-numbers but extremely thrilling.

Gumshoe detective Philip Marlowe is given a new look in this Robert Altman-directed dry, witty noir adapted from the Raymond Chandler novel. Elliott Gould plays the chain-smoking private eye who tries to help figure out why his friend is accused of murdering his wife. With a more laid-back approach than Humphrey Bogart gave the character, to match Altman's jazzy '70s aesthetic, Gould gives an equally memorable portrayal.

Fritz Lang's first movie with sound is a chilling look at a child murdered and the hunt for justice, even if that justice is illegal.

It's the movie that made Mel Gibson a star and launched an unlikely franchise. The original "Mad Max" still has the thrilling car chases like its sequels, but there is a bit more suspense as we see Max (Gibson) at a point in his life where he still has a family.

One of the first Japanese films to find worldwide acclaim, Kurosawa's drama looks at an event told through the perspectives of the characters, which are self-serving and contradictory.

A movie that can be found seeping into the work of everyone from Brian De Palma and Francis Ford Coppola to Darren Aronofsky, this visually dazzling portrait of a driven woman torn between her love for a man and being a ballerina is required viewing.

The movie that inspired the two "Magnificent Seven" Westerns, Kurosawa's epic follows seven masters of the steel who agree to help a poor village from bandits.
