Dramatic moments abound in this iconic 1953 Western, directed by George Stevens. Certain scenes unfold almost ritualistically, as if pre-destined and inevitable. Alan Ladd, Jack Palance, and many others provide memorable performances.

Actor Chris Sarandon, as the vampire Jerry Dandrige, rather voraciously chews up the scenery in 1985’s Fright Night.
Based on the novel by the great Philip K. Dick, this Ridley Scott-directed film still stands today as a groundbreaking achievement. Blending noir-ish elements with the futuristic plotline/atmosphere, Scott ushered in an entirely new era in cinema. Über-Antagonist Nexus-6 Replicant Roy Batty {iconically portrayed by Rutger Hauer} provides the extra impetus of genius to propel us to the skies.
“Roy Batty is a very cryptic individual, as a replicant and combat unit. He carries an unnerving aura around him and inspires fear wherever he goes.
It is worth mentioning, that at the end of his life, Roy is shown to have a moment of empathy, saving Deckard from his death before giving a monologue about his memories, and passing away with a smile…”

This Great Man.
This Great Man.
Directed by the great Stanley Kubrick, this mighty film features memorable performances by Kirk Douglas, Peter Ustinov, Charles Laughton, Tony Curtis, and, of course: Laurence Olivier.
Portrayed memorably by actor Matthew McConaughey, detective/profiler Rust Cohle is as troubled and enigmatic as he is brilliant. Haunted by his past (and present), Cohle is an insomniac, an alcoholic, and experiences profound episodes of paralyzing synesthesia. He’s singularly obsessed with his work, which in this case involves a sadistic, ritualistic serial killer amidst an eerie Louisiana landscape of unsettling, tantalizing suspects.
1991’s The Silence of the Lambs, directed by Jonathan Demme, still unquestionably stands as a landmark of psychological terror. Jodi Foster, Anthony Hopkins, and Ted Levine all turn in remarkable, iconic performances. This immortal film features some of the most intense, memorable dialogue ever committed to the medium.
Magical moments (that will leave you all agog) featuring Cyd Charisse, Debbie Reynolds, Marlene Dietrich, Ethel Merman, Dolores Gray, and Donald O’Connor.
