The Top-Rated Films in Cinema History

The Wild Bunch

This 1969 American western stars William Holden, Robert Ryan, and Ernest Borgnine. It's one of the most controversial films of its time, though what was once deemed "graphic" violence has become relatively commonplace in movies today. In the late 1960s, this sort of brutality was rarely seen on the silver screen.

Witness for the Prosecution

This crime drama is based on Agatha Christie's novel of the same name. Witness for the Prosecution follows the story of a screenwriter accused of murdering an old, wealthy woman. Regarded as one of the most notable courtroom dramas of all time, the film was nominated for six Academy Awards.
