Touch of Evil
»rank: 685
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:Considered by many to be the greatest B movie ever made, the original-release version of 0rson Welles's film noir masterpiece Touch of Evil was, ironically, never intended as a B movie at all--it merely suffered that fate after it was taken away from writer-director Welles, then reedited and released in 1958 as the second half of a double feature.

Just listen to his 10-minute talk over the gallery of photographs from the movie (which you can flip ...

Heaven's Gate (Widescreen)
»rank: 2287
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Not many movies can take credit for bringing about the demise of a movie studio--but Michael Cimino's ego-driven, overblown Western is one of them. These days, its $40 million budget would barely cover the cost of an Adam Sandler film--but in 1981, it virtually put United Artists out of business. Cimino, fresh from an 0scar for The Deer Hunter, spent months assembling this ultimately gorgeous and confusing story of the Johnson County cattle wars of 1881, with a cast that included Kris Kristofferson, Jeff Bridges, John Hurt, Christopher Walken, ...
