Looking to sit down with a good movie to take your mind off things? Then choose one of these great American films, selected by the Delevu review team, and get your popcorn popping!
Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock
Want to see an audience jump? Show them the scene where Grace Kelly is searching through Raymond Burr's apartment and we suddenly see Burr turn a corner and walk back toward it. Jimmy Stewart stars as the laid-up photographer-cum-voyeur who suspects a neighbor is a murderer.
The Birth of a Nation by D.W. Griffith
Yes, it may be the most racist movie ever made. But it is also one of the most technically best, and its innovations changed movies forever. The radiant Lillian Gish brings a light to this story of the Civil War and its aftermath. It's a masterpiece. Hateful, yes. But a masterpiece.
An Affair to Remember by Leo McCarey
This is the film everyone cries over in "Sleepless in Seattle." The first half is more of a romantic comedy, as playboy Cary Grant and singer Deborah Kerr fall for each other on a ship. The second half is all drama, as their love is tested by circumstance.
