Citizen Kane (1941)
best movie of all time
classic masterpiece, Citizen Kane (1941), is probably the world's most famous and highly-rated film, with its many remarkable scenes and performances, cinematic and narrative techniques and experimental innovations (in photography, editing, and sound). Its director, star, and producer were all the same genius individual - Orson Welles (in his film debut at age 25!), who collaborated with Herman J. Mankiewicz on the script (and also with an uncredited John Houseman), and with Gregg Toland as his talented cinematographer. [The amount of each person's contributions to the screenplay has been the subject of great debate over many decades.] Toland's camera work on Karl Freund's expressionistic horror film Mad Love (1935)exerted a profound influence on this film.
The film, budgeted at $800,000, received unanimous critical praise even at the time of its release, although it was not a commercial success (partly due to its limited distribution and delayed release by RKO due to pressure exerted by famous publisher W.R. Hearst) - until it was re-released after World War II, found well-deserved (but delayed) recognition in Europe, and then played on television.
The film engendered controversy (and efforts at suppression in early 1941 and efforts at suppression in early 1941 through intimidation, blackmail, newspaper smears, discrediting and FBI investigations) before it premiered in New York City on May 1, 1941, because it appeared to fictionalize and caricaturize certain events and individuals in the life of William Randolph Hearst - a powerful newspaper magnate and publisher. The film was accused of drawing remarkable, unflattering, and uncomplimentary parallels (especially in regards to the Susan Alexander Kane character) to real-life. The notorious battle was detailed in Thomas Lennon's and Michael Epstein's Oscar-nominated documentary The Battle Over Citizen Kane (1996), and it was retold in HBO's cable-TV film RKO 281 (1999) (the film's title refers to the project numbering for the film by the studio, before the film was formally titled):
The Godfather (1972)
The superb, three-part gangster saga was inaugurated with this film from Italian-American director Francis Ford Coppola, The Godfather (1972). The first two parts of the lush and grand saga are among the most celebrated, landmark films of all time. Many film reviewers consider the second part equal or superior to the original, although the first part was a tremendous critical and commercial success - and the highest grossing film of its time. This mythic, tragic film contributed to a resurgence in the American film industry, after a decade of competition from cinema abroad.
One of the original "Movie Brats" who had not had a hit after seven films, director Coppola collaborated on the epic film's screenplay with Mario Puzo who had written a best-selling novel of the same name about a Mafia dynasty (the Corleones).The Godfather catapulted Francis Ford Coppola to directorial superstardom, and popularized the following euphemistic phrase (of brutal coercion): "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse."
The almost three hour, R-rated saga film (for violence and graphic language) won three Oscars: Best Picture, Best Actor (Marlon Brando refused to accept the award) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola). The other seven nominations included three for Best Supporting Actor (James Caan, Robert Duvall, and Al Pacino), Best Director, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, and Best Costume Design. One of The Godfather's original eleven nominations was removed, Best Music (Original Dramatic Score), when it was determined that Nino Rota's score had been used for a previous film.
Gangster films are one of the oldest of film genres (starring Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart), emerging as an influential force in the early 1930s (e.g., Little Caesar (1930), Public Enemy (1931), and Scarface (1932)). This gangster film re-invented the gangster genre, elevating the classic Hollywood gangster film to a higher level by portraying the gangster figure as a tragic hero. [With the disappearance of the Production Code, retribution for the gangster's crimes was not an automatic requirement.] The rich and enthralling film is characterized by superb acting and deep character studies, beautiful photography and choreography, authentic recreation of the period, a bittersweet romantic sub-plot, a rich score by Nino Rota, and superbly-staged portrayals of gangster violence. Its grim, dark passages and bright exterior scenes are all part of the beautiful cinematography by Gordon Willis.
Star Wars (1977)
Star Wars (1977), (aka Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope) is one of the most popular, profitable, entertaining, and successful science fiction/action - adventure/fantasy films of all time. The film, shot mostly on location in Durango Mexico.Tunisia Guatemala and Death Valley (California), advanced special-effects technology to a degree unseen before, with computerized and digitally-timed special effects. It ultimately helped to resurrect the financial viability of the science-fiction genre, a category of films that was considered frivolous and unprofitable, and brought the phrase "May the Force be with you" into common usage.
Pre-Star Wars director, USC graduate, and writer George Lucas had begun his career as director of the science-fiction filmTHX 1138 (1971), an expanded version of a prize-winning feature film he made while studying film at USC. It was produced by American Zoetrope and executive-produced by Francis Ford Coppola. He went on to direct and co-write the immensely popular American Graffiti (1973), a nostalgic story about California teenagers in the early 60s. It took four years for Lucas to develop his next film - this astounding cult film about "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." from 20th Century Fox.
The modestly-budgeted production (of about $11 million) from the TCF/LucasFilm production company, made in Britain, was based upon Lucas' recollections of Saturday afternoon matinees, serials, and comic strips, usually with cliff-hanging endings.
The archetypal plot was influenced by a varied anthology of sources and eclectic references:
- legendary Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon comic-book heroes and films [Lucas had originally wanted to remake the 1930's Flash Gordon movie serials, but the rights to the comic book character were snapped up first by Dino Di Laurentiis]; the works of cartoonist Alex Raymond included Flash Gordon and Jungle Jim; Lucas cited the classic movie serial Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe (1940) as the direct inspiration for his own space opera
- previous science fiction films (such as Forbidden Planet (1956) and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968))
- the saloon setting of westerns (as a model for the inter-galactic watering hole)
- the James Bond films
- Joseph Campbell's book The Hero with a Thousand Faces
- Carlos Castaneda's Tales of Power
- medieval knights (King Arthur and Camelot) [Camelot's story also told of a young Prince, who with the help of a sorcerer/Merlin, a Sword and 'the Force' saves a Queen and defeats the Black Knight with the help of his Roundtable aides.]
- sorcerers' tales and stories about magic (Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Carlos Castaneda tales)
- warrior legends, myths, fairy tales
- Western good-guy vs. bad-guy stories
- elements of other classic films or tales (e.g., The Wizard of Oz (1939), John Ford's The Searchers (1956), TV's Star Trek, Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927, Germ.),Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will (1935, Germ.), and Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress (1958, Jp.) and Yojimbo (1961))
- Errol Flynn swashbucklers
- dogfight-filled WWII war films, such as 633 Squadron (1964)
- similar to the Greek tradition of beginning an epic in the middle ("in medias res"), this film (the first in a trilogy) was the fourth film in the entire series
The mythological tale of space-age heroism (fighting Evil for the sake of Good) featured memorable characters - a benevolent ex-Jedi Knight (Guinness), an imprisoned Princess Leia (Fisher) of the peace-loving Rebel Alliance, two comical robotic droids (R2D2, named after a piece of film editor's jargon - Reel 2 Dialog 2, and C3PO), a smuggler/mercenary space-pilot (Ford), a beastly creature named Chewbacca (a Wookiee), and an idealistic young boy (Hamill) who becomes trained in the righteous ways of the Force in order to rescue the captured Princess from the evil Empire's Death Star and the dark forces of the Empire, led by evil Darth Vader (voice of James Earl Jones/David Prowse).
Lucas wisely combined three basically-unknown young American actors in the lead roles (Hamill, Fisher, and Ford acting like a screwball comedy threesome) with the acting talents of the great British actor Alec Guinness, and then added a pair of cute robotic droids and a Sesame Street-style creature (Chewbacca) to the mix. [Note that the film's hero, Luke Skywalker or Luke S. (pronounced "Luc-as"), was a way for director Lucas to get his name mentioned, subliminally.]
The blockbuster film left itself open for sequels (and prequels). Lucas announced plans for a second trilogy (and hinted at three more films) ten years after Star Wars' release - in mid 1987. In total, there were really only six films. Two prequels in a second trilogy were released in 1999 and 2002, with a third in mid-2005. The prequels focused on how the father of Luke Skywalker (Anakin Skywalker) succumbed to the dark side of the Force and became the evil Darth Vader

In the American Film Institute's inaugural Top 100 Best American Films of All Time list of 1998, it was ranked fourth.

The Academy Award
also known as the Oscar, is an accolade bestowed by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) to recognize excellence of professionals in the film industry, including directors, actors, and writers.

It is also the oldest award ceremony in the media; its equivalents, the Grammy Awards (for music), Emmy Awards (for television), and Tony Awards (for theatre) are modeled after the Academy.
The AMPAS was originally conceived by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio boss Louis B. Mayer as a professional honorary organization to help improve the film industry’s image and help mediate labor disputes. The Oscar itself was later initiated by the Academy as an award "of merit for distinctive achievement" in the industry.
The first Academy Awards ceremony was held on May 16, 1929, at the Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood to honor outstanding film achievements of the 1927/1928 film season. The most recent ceremony, honoring films in 2010, was held at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre on February 27, 2011.

THE TEN BEST MOTION PICTURE LOGOS
Motion Pictures Presents the 10 best film studio logos from around the world. We have always chosen the best movies, posters, etc. through the years. Motion Pictures Presents based the information on the internet sources like yahoo, google, facebook, myspace, etc. and also on the motion picture library, director’s guild and USC. A jury picks the best logos every 10 years and we present the images for the 2011 results by order of importance. Honoring the 10th anniversary of this award-winning series, a jury of 1,500 film artists, critics and historians determined that the Warner Brother’s logo remains the greatest one of all time. Curious about the rest of the list? Please take a look at all 10 film .
It is also around this time, the first logos appearing on the move, unlike other designs that were. Those were more complicated to produce and had to be recreated for each film produced, which became very expensive (at the beginning of the twentieth century, each studio produced, on average, about 100 films per year). To solve the problem, the logo design tips was shot once, copied and placed at the beginning of the first reel of each film. A practice that continues to this day. With the advent of sound movies, studios and sound added fanfares to their logos, as was the case of 20th Century-Fox and World Film Magic RKO Radio Pictures.
Know then, the stories of the logos of the most charismatic Hollywood studios.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer: Of all the logos, the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is the best known and most charismatic of all, one of which suffered less change over the years. Its origin dates back to 1918 and was created by publicist Howard Dietz for Goldwyn Pictures. The version of the logo, as we know, was used in 1925 to the new name of the studio, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Although over the years have been filmed several versions of Leo (which became known by the name the mascot of the studio), none has substantially changed the logo, even when filmed in Cinemascope version.
In 1966 and following the fashion of the time, the charismatic lion was replaced by a stylized image, but an outcry from fans and shareholders took the administration back from the studio, keeping up to the old days

Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin Jr. {1889 – 1977}
was absolutely the master of silent films. Charlie was an actor, producer, screenwriter, director and composer. His acting career spanned over 65 years. He is considered a genius in silent film history.
He was an English comic actor and film director of the silent film era who became one of the best-known film stars in the world before the end of the First World War. Chaplin used mime, slapstick and other visual comedy routines, and continued well into the era of the talkies, though his films decreased in frequency from the end of the 1920s. His most famous role was that of The Tramp, which he first played in the Keystone comedy Kid Auto Races at Venice in 1914. From the April 1914 one-reeler Twenty Minutes of Love onwards he was writing and directing most of his films, by 1916 he was also producing, and from 1918 composing the music. With Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D. W. Griffith, he co-founded United Artists in 1919.
Chaplin was one of the most creative and influential personalities of the silent-film era. He was influenced by his predecessor, the French silent movie comedian Max Linder, to whom he dedicated one of his films. His working life in entertainment spanned over 75 years, from the Victorian stage and the Music Hall in the United Kingdom as a child performer, until close to his death at the age of 88. His high-profile public and private life encompassed both adulation and controversy. Chaplin’s identification with the left ultimately forced him to resettle in Europe during the McCarthy era in the early 1950s.
Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai
(1954) thrust Japanese cinema to the outside world; and he went on to be conferred with the Academy Honorary Award '89
THE STORY - A poor village in the mountains of medieval Japan is repeatedly pillaged by a gang of bandits. In desperation they seek to hire Samurais to protect their harvest, the paltry payment they can afford being - food three times a day.
Takashi Shimura,who dazzled in Ikuru, impresses as the worldly wise seasoned samurai Kambei; who rustles up a motley bunch of Ronins - unemployed Samurais or mercenaries.
Charismatic Toshiro Mifune is the outside pretender Shishinin, who is grudgingly included in the samurai team. (In fact the original Japanese name of the movie is Shichinin no Samurai)
The story is of the samurai and villagers evolving as a team in spite of their deep mutual antipathy, how old Kambei plans and executes the defense of the village, the sacrifices thrust upon average men in crisis.
The end is sheer poetry - after the triumph of blood and bravery, Kurosawa signs off with pointing out ‘the disconnect of violence’ in a community content with itself.
Why SEVEN SAMURAI is considered a forerunner The plot element of ‘ building a team with varied personalities to achieve a specific goal ‘ spawned many movies like Magnificent 7, Dirty Dozen, Guns of Navrone, Ocean's Eleven and our own Sholay.
Many other popular story devices like’ Introducing the hero with an incident unrelated to the main story’ and ‘Romance between village girl and outsider’ were seen first in Seven Samurai.
In fact, many management institutions screen Seven Samurai as a study of effective leadership – team building, delegation of duty and goal orientation
Titanic
is a 1997 American epic romance and disaster film directed, written, co-produced, and co-edited by James Cameron. A fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, it stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson and Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater, members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ship during its ill-fated maiden voyage.
Cameron's inspiration for the film was predicated on his fascination with shipwrecks; he wanted to convey the emotional message of the tragedy, and felt that a love story interspersed with the human loss would be essential to achieving this. Production on the film began in 1995, when Cameron shot footage of the actual Titanic wreck. The modern scenes were shot on board the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, which Cameron had used as a base when filming the wreck. A reconstruction of the Titanic was built at Playas de Rosarito, Baja California, and scale models and computer-generated imagery were also used to recreate the sinking. The film was partially funded by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox – respectively, its American and international distributors – and at the time, it was the most expensive film ever made, with an estimated budget of $200 million.
Post-production delays pushed back the film's release to December 19, 1997.Titanic was released to critical acclaim and considerable commercial success. It was nominated for fourteen Academy Awards, eventually winning eleven, including Best Picture and Best Director.[8] It became the highest-grossing film of all time, with a worldwide gross of over $1.8 billion – the first film to reach the billion dollar mark – and remained so for twelve years until Cameron's next directorial effort, Avatar, surpassed it in 2010.Titanic is also ranked as the sixth best epic film of all time in AFI's 10 Top 10 by the American Film Institute. The film is due for theatrical re-release in 2012 after Cameron completes its conversion into
FILM HISTORY
 The Birth of FilmIn the humanity's history, the man has always had a deep interest in capturing and representing movement, different civilizations or people have looked for the way to achieve this fact. Several inventors and geniuses have built machines that produce the illusion of movement, for example the Phenakistiscope, the Praxinoscope, the thaumatrope, the Zoetrope, etc.When those machines were invented, three fundamental elements that constituted cinema were achieved, the persistence of vision, photography and projection. The two other elements, the perforated movie and the mechanism that permits its advance were invented in 1890 by Edison and Dickson. The Silent Era
At the beginning of the XX century, the films were already an industry extended around the world, the movies were mute and it appeared texts amid the scenes in order to explain the action of the film, sometimes a pianist played music to make happier the show. The barracks of the beginnings of cinema became elegant and roomy rooms where they began to assist the high social classes and not only the popular ones. Once the movies becomes a great popular show that overcame the social and idiomatic barriers, Edison sends his lawyers against the exploiters of film projectors with the purpose of monopolizing the film market, and after several processes, closings film theaters, confiscation of projectors and moments of violence, the victory was given to Edison. This situation affected negatively to independent filmmakers, which moved to the other side of the country, to California. There Hollywood was founded and the big film production companies started to make the history of the North American films. The Sound Era
By these years it also was originated the animation films, which was especially made for children, being Walt Disney their favorite creator. Opposite to directors with mainly commercial positions, they appear others with new aesthetic restlessness such as Von Stroheim, Hitchcock or Orson Welles; Meanwhile in Europe the filmmakers of countries with totalitarian governments were guided toward a politically propagandistic cinema, frequently failed artistically as the case of the Fascists. Post-War
At the end of 1950, and following the steps of innovative directors such as Rossellini, a new generation of filmmakers contributed to improve the films, under the denomination nouvelle wanders, it was a cinema equally made with a few tools but with the force of aesthetic innovations. By the years 1960 appeared new film types, in Sweden, Ingmar Bergman made films focused in the introspection that were interested on the psychology of people, their anguishes and their existential doubts. In Italy, Antonioni, Pasolini, Bertolucci, Visconti and Fellini opt for the poetic films. Cinema at the present time
