Balcony, The (1963)

Pawnbroker, The (1965)

Dir. Sidney Lumet
Feat. Rod Steiger

Rod Steiger gives a career-best performance as a Jewish pawnbroker whose new life in Spanish Harlem conjures haunting images of his Nazi prison camp past. Grim but powerful stuff.

Iron Horse, The (1924)

Dir. John Ford
Feat. George O'Brien, Madge Bellamy

An early silent western presenting an idealised portrayal of the development of the first American transcontinental railroad. Its romantic, mythologising style influenced the entire Western genre to come.
