The Last Picture Show
The Last Picture Show is described as "feeling new and old at the same time." High school seniors and best friends Sonny (Timothy Bottoms) and Duane (Jeff Bridges) struggle to escape their dead-end Texas town and move on to something bigger. The film earned two Academy Awards and is considered one of the greatest American movies of all time.
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans
Directed by the man behind the classic silent horror film Nosferatu, Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans was F.W. Murnau's American debut. Bored with his family and dull routine, a farmer (George O'Brien) falls for a flirtatious city girl (Margaret Livingston). However, when his wife (Janet Gaynor) becomes suspicious of the farmer's plans to abandon her and their baby, he must win back her trust—and, in doing so, the two rekindle their romance. Words are hardly necessary in this emotional silent film.
