DOCTOR ZHIVAGO
GERALDINE CHAPLIN - JULIE CHRISTIE - TOM COURTENAY
David Lean demonstrates again why he's a peerless filmmaker of substance and scale, directing Boris Pasternak's tumultuous tale of Russia divided by war and hearts torn by love. Epic images abound: revolution in the streets, an infantry charge into No Man's Land, the train ride to the Urals, an icebound dacha. Doctor Zhivago is a moviemaking wonder.

GONE WITH THE WIND
CLARK GABLE - VIVIAN LEIGH - LESLIE HOWARD - OLIVIA de HAVILLAND
David O. Selznick's production of Margaret Mitchell's Pulitzer Prize winner, Gone With The Wind is "the pinnacle of Hollywood moviemaking," Leonard Maltin of Entertainment Tonight said. And in Maltin's view, "it looks better than it has in years." This sweeping Civil War-era romance won an impressive 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture. Immortal characters populate an epic story of enduring appeal across generations. Judged by many as the greatest movie of all time.

CASABLANCA
HUMPHREY BOGART - INGRID BERGMAN - PAUL HENREID
Casablanca: easy to enter, but much harder to leave, especially if your name is on the Nazi's most-wanted list. On top of that list is Czech Resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), whose only hope is Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a cynical American who sticks his neck out for no one...especially Victor's wife Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), the ex-lover who broke his heart. So when Ilsa offers herself in exchange for Laszlo's safe transport out of the country, the bitter Rick must decide what's more important - his own happiness or the countless lives that hang in the balance.
Winner of three Academy Awards including Best Picture, Casablanca is "America's most popular and beloved movie - and rightly so" (The Motion Picture Guide)!

BEN-HUR
CHARLTON HESTON - JACK HAWKINS - HAYA HARAREET
The numbers speak volumes: 100,000 costumes, 8,000 extras, 300 sets and a staggering budget that in its day was the largest in movie history. But impressive numbers don't tell the whole story. Because Ben-Hur's creators didn't just make it big. They made it the best, the greatest Biblical-era epic ever. Ben-Hur won a total 11 Academy Awards - a tally unequaled until 1997's Titanic set sail.
