Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

This USA production is one of Stanley Kubrick's masterpieces. From the beginning, and the tittle is enough significant, wastes irony and scathing political criticism. In full cold war, the solution was to stop worrying and love the bomb.

For this entry I have selected the famous "Major Kong Rides the Bomb" scene. One of my favourite ever.

Mad Max (1979)

Directed by George Miller, this australian production made history presenting an apocalyptic future without order after the global oil crisis (1.973). Mad Max meant the introduction of a young Mel Gibson who subsequently re-embodied the road warrior in two sequels produced by Hollywood and without the same appeal of the original.

The Big Country (1958)

Directed by William Wyler, The Big Country is an impressive film that reflects the essence of an age and a country. Western in golden letters.

The commercial phrase is a good summary: Big they fought! Big they loved! Big their story!

For this entry I have selected the "Major Terrill rides alone" scene, epic. Jerome Moross' music achieves the perfect atmosphere.

You talkin' to me?

This not a film, this is only a tribute to one of greatest actors in the history. No doubts.

Travis Bickle, Vito Corleone, Al Capone, Jake La Motta, Sam 'Ace' Rothstein, James 'Jimmy' Conway, Michael the "Deer Hunter"... and a long etcetera of awesome characters.

And he says that the talent is in the choices...

NB: The song is Gimme Shelter (1.969) by The Rolling Stones.
