The Top-Rated Films in Cinema History

To Be or Not to Be

To Be or Not to Be tells the story of a Polish theater company fighting to stay afloat when the Nazis invade. To avoid closure, the staff turn themselves into spies. Time Out calls the film "one of the finest comedies to come out of Paramount."

Out of the Past

Out of the Past is based on the novel "Build My Gallows High" by Daniel Mainwaring and was released under the same title in the United Kingdom. This classic noir follows small-town gas station owner Jeff Bailey (Robert Mitchum) whose past returns to haunt him when he is recognized by a crook. The film affirmed the careers of Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, and Kirk Douglas in one of his first major supporting roles.
