A masterpiece of off the wall comedy, Airplane stars Robert Hays as an exfighter pilot forced to take over the control of an airliner when the flight crew succumbs to food poisoning, Julie Hagerty as his girlfriend, stewardess, co-pilot, and a cast of all-stars including Peter Graves, Leslie Nielson, Robert Stack and Lloyd Bridges. This film became a cult classic. I was never able to see these actors in quite the same way again lol

Always ranked among the greatest Hollywood movies ever made is Orson Welles' masterpiece Citizen Kane (1941). In the movie's final scene we learn what Charles Foster Kane's last word ('Rosebud') referred to. This clip has a bit of Italian dialogue dubbed into it. Pay no attention to it; it is unimportant.

This theatrical trailer was produced years after Birth Of A Nation was first released in 1915. The film was D.W. Griffith's Civil War and Reconstruction era masterpiece. Based on the novel The Clansman, the movie is controversial today for its positive portrayal of the Ku Klux Klan.

Sergio Leone sure knew how to turn out epic masterpieces. This falls onto my all time top ten movies at no.7. Robert De Niro's performance along with James Woods were electric and some of their best, to date. The score, provided by Ennio Morricone brings such ambience and atmosphere to an already great film. There have been many versions of this film with different endings, it's up to you which one you prefer. I'm still in search of an uncut version; at nearly five hours; but these are as scarce as hobbie horse's droppings, maybe this is an urban myth though.

In May 2005, a renowned British hoaxer, known only as Banksy, placed this alleged piece of 'cave art'--showing a prehistoric man with a shopping cart--in the British Museum in London. Titled 'Early Man Goes To Market,' the piece hung on a wall for three days before anyone questioned its authenticity. Banksy, who has pranked museums around the world, even provided a caption under his masterpiece: 'This finely preserved example of primative art dates from the post-Catatonic era...' How did no one spot such an obvious hoax for three days? Said a chagrined museum representative, 'It looked very much in keeping with the other exhibits.'

Charlie Chaplin's masterpiece, City Lights (1931), included this very comical boxing scene. Charlie tries to win money in a winner-take-all prize fight. (He's trying to pay for an operation to restore the sight of a blind flower girl.)
