Alfred Hitchcock's only Best Picture win came with Rebeccain 1940, but Joan Fontaine's Best Actress-winning performance as Lina McLaidlaw was the only time a performance in a Hitchcock film took an award. In this psychological thriller, Cary Grant is deeply sus playboy Johnnie, who Lina realises only after they've married is also an inveterate gamb...
Loads of the best short animated film winners are on YouTube, and this one's a belter. In a world made entirely out of corporate mascots and logos, everything seems to be ticking along as usual until Ronald McDonald turns up and takes a hostage in a Pizza Hut. Constantly surprising and inventive, and the man from the Pringles can is voiced by David...
When Charles Laughton took the Best Actor gong for his booming, larger-than-very-large-life portrayal of Henry VIII, this became the first non-American film to pick up an Oscar and started a long lineage of Oscar-winning British historical dramas which runs right up to Darkest Hour and The King's Speech. We start with the aftermath of Anne Boleyn's...
This Best Picture winner is a fascinating thing. It's a Noel Coward-written family saga covering 1899 to 1933, in which we follow the well-to-do Jane and Robert Marryot and their family as they orbit around all the big events of the first third of the 20th century: the Second Boer War, the death of Queen Victoria, the sinking of the Titanic, the Gr...
In 1974, three years after Muhammad Ali had been dropped by Joe Frazier, he and the younger, heavier-hitting George Foreman squared up in Zaire for 'The Rumble in the Jungle'. If you want to know about Ali's mystique, watch this: it took Leon Gast 22 years to gradually piece his retrospective of Ali's last, greatest win together, but it's the defin...
A mysterious, reclusive mega-wealthy newspaper proprietor dies alone in his gigantic mansion. But who was he? The life of Charles Foster Kane as told by Orson Welles was nominated for nine Oscars but only won one for Best Screenplay. But, you know, it's since become quite well-regarded. WATCH NOW
Known in the US as The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer, this is the kind of knockabout romantic comedy Cary Grant could do in his sleep, and he's hardly stretching himself as urbane artist Richard. Shirley Temple is 17-year-old Susan, who falls for a deeply disinterested Richard, who's after her sister, who's also the judge who's trying him for scrapp...
Nick Park's first Oscar came in the animated short film category for this, which perfected the technique Aardman had been playing with on their 'Conversation Pieces' series. But where before plasticine was used to dramatise real people's everyday chatter fairly straightforwardly, Park put people's words in the mouths of zoo animals. Majestic. WATCH...
On 6 May 1970, Yuichiro Miura started skiing down Mount Everest's South Col, 26,000 feet above sea level. Six years previously he'd set a world ski speed record of 108 miles per hour, but this was the big one. Staggeringly stupid idea which unnecessarily risked – and claimed – the lives of seven sherpas, or a wildly romantic quest? It's the first o...
In the fight against fascism every helping hand was welcome, even if that hand was actually the wing of an anthropomorphic duck. This short is quite a thing: it opens with an oompah band made up of Goebbels, Goering, Himmler and Mussolini stomping through Donald Duck's nightmarish Nazi town, where he's forced to make artillery shells and gradually ...
