Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although the classic age of Hollywood cinema is now long-gone, its brightest stars created movies which are still being discovered by new fans decades later. In 1999, the American Film Institute curated a list of the greatest movie stars of classic Hollywood cinema. The list includes 25 men and 25 women who appeared in many of the greatest movies of all time.
Top Hat is a classic screwball comedy, with a series of risible misunderstandings and a few oafish side characters. Ultimately, the plot isn't as important to the movie's enduring appeal as its joyous musical numbers. "Cheek to Cheek" has since been covered by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Billie Holliday, but the original version which appears in Top Hat has become iconic for its visual splendor, with Rogers' feathered dress and a lavish Old Hollywood set.
Marlon Brando exploded onto the scene in the 1950s, earning Oscar nominations for Best Actor four years in a row. His most enduring movies from this era are A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront, but neither have had the lasting impact of The Godfather. Brando plays Vito Corleone, the head of a prestigious Italian-American crime family who wants to ensure that his family and his legacy outlast him.
It's practically impossible to find any list of the greatest movies of all time which doesn't place Casablanca somewhere near the top. The timeless story touches on the universal human struggles of love versus responsibility, and serving oneself versus serving the greater good. Bergman and Bogart share an electric dynamic as two lovers whose time has sadly passed, and Casablanca gives them the perfect ending to their story.
Audrey Hepburn may have delivered her most iconic performance in Breakfast at Tiffany's, with a little help from some iconic costume designs, but Roman Holiday is her greatest movie, and it has aged much more gracefully too.
