• Rocky (1976): 

Rocky the movie earned its deserving reputation as one of the most engaging sports movies that ever released. The inception of Sylvester Stallone in this movie from the script is legendary, while in three days he wrote to a tough sell for movie studios. He did not willing to act in a lead role is an underdog story that introduces in the tale of triumphant and deeply human, a poor boxer who finds love, validation, and a sense of self-worth both outside and inside the ring. 

• Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939):

Imagine one thing, a young and recently elected senator for the first time get entered Washington overflowing with new hopes for a better future. Only with those ideals shatter against the corrupt reality and scheming of the United States federal legislation. The film director Frank Capra’s includes funny political drama from 1939 stars up-and-coming Jimmy Stewart (then James Stewart) in a particular role that would lead him to his first Academy Award nomination. 

• The Great Dictator (1940):

What could be more urgently timely than immoderate 1940 comedy in which Charlie Chaplin like legend hilariously highlighting fascist dictators generally, Adolf Hitler specifically, Nazi beliefs, and antisemitism? It comes under the first comic sound film and Chaplin utilizes that sound to great effect. It’s made when the existence of the original Hitler was still a dominant political persona.   

• Casablanca (1942):

Almost 80 years have passed, but still, Casablanca comes as one of the most popular movies that ever come.  It might be the ultimate romantic drama recording the bittersweet love triangle between American outsider Rick (Humphrey Bogart), his lost love Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), and her freedom fighter husband Laszlo (Paul Henreid). However, besides the love trilogy, it’s also a sort of war film that is less interested in bloodshed battles than in the complications in personal life and moral considerations rendered by war. 

• Singin’ in the Rain (1952):

It is quite easy to say that it is one of the most loved musicals that ever made, Singin’ in the Rain opines the whole story of Hollywood’s transformation from silent movies to taking pictures. During this change, the leading man Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly), and leading lady character Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) have scraping voice imaginable. With his best friend’s help Cosmo Brown (Donald O’Connor) and promising actor Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds), he thinks to create a musical movie. 

• Superman (1978):

Superhero movies that didn’t actually reach their summit until the 2000s, but Richard Donner’s Superman is the replica of all the agreeing blockbusters that would come after in subsequent decades. It is the most expensive movie ever made at its release time. Superman comes as a comic book movie that represents a certain character and shows the origin story that readers knew already. There are numerous known faces, including a most menacing villain who comes and an evil plot for our official hero to crash. 

• The Wizard of Oz (1939):

There are many iconic films but The Wizard of Oz is over the top. Here audience watched Dorothy Gale’s journey to the land of Oz is possibly one of the most famous movies in history. It has been almost 82 years of praise to amazing phrases such as “lions, tiger, and bears,” “there’s no place like home,” and “we’re not in Kansas anymore” – to opine nothing of the enduring musical impressions of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “If I Only Had a Brain/Heart.”

• Stagecoach (1939)”

Westerns have not such more iconic than Stagecoach, which supports the catapult, John Wayne, into super-stardom, and the whole plot along with the protagonist.  Another titan of this genre is John Ford, who directs the frozen tale of a group of strangers thrown together for a harmful journey through the Old West.    

• Cabaret (1972):

Cabaret is a stunning movie musical that still has enormous power to jar out of self-approval with its boldness and brilliance. Liza Minnelli’s most remembering act has to play Sally Bowles, a performer who likes to enjoy middling success at a club in Weimar-era Berlin and gets mingled up in a romantic triangle with British outsider (Michael York) and a rich playboy (Helmut Griem)- all during the looms of fascism around.    

• North by Northwest:

Even in the eldest classic movies, it can be permitted to modern acceptability standards, general entertainment, and pacing – but Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest is not at all like them. An innocent man, Cary Grant acts as Roger Thornhill who is pursued constantly while mistaken for someone else.
