1. Sunset Boulevard - Billy Wilder, 1950
“All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close up,” says Norma Desmond as the film fades before Billy Wilder can give his most absurd creation the one thing she wishes. Sunset Boulevard is the ultimate film about Hollywood, its dangers, its heartache and disasters. If there is any doubt about how great a filmmaker Wilder was in your mind, it must only be because you haven’t seen this film.
