This zany romantic comedy was the fourteenth film to pair iconic comic duo Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, released a year before their professional breakup. Martin plays Rick, a struggling painter, and Lewis is his roommate, Eugene, who is obsessed with a comic book character called Bat Lady. They become entangled with Bat Lady’s creator (Dorothy Malone) and her roommate/model (Shirley MacLaine) in a farcical plot that manages to incorporate government secrets and enemy spies. Frank Tashlin’s background in animation made him the perfect choice to direct this cartoon-infused romp, and he would collaborate often with Lewis after the split with Martin.

Four veterans return to the jungles of Vietnam in hopes of recovering a buried fortune in director/co-writer Spike Lee’s epic adventure drama, which pays homage to the classic The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (a favorite of the filmmaker’s) while exploring the rarely told experiences of Black soldiers in the Vietnam War. The top-notch cast includes Sinners supporting actor nominee Delroy Lindo as a proud Trump supporter; two stars of TV’s The Wire, Clarke Peters and Isiah Whitlock, Jr.; and Chadwick Boseman in one of his final performances. The film’s one Oscar nomination was earned by seven-time Grammy winner Terence Blanchard, a regular collaborator of Lee’s, whose bold orchestral score sits comfortably alongside the vintage Marvin Gaye songs that... fill the film’s soundtrack.

Fast-talking Rosalind Russell (His Girl Friday, 1940) is absolutely captivating as Kim Halliday, the daughter of a deceased career gambler who joins her father’s former business partner to run a Vegas casino. Russell's unflappable confidence is a fine match for the swagger of Fernando Lamas as Victor Monte, a rival club owner who vies for Kim’s affections—and her casino. There’s nothing quite like the neon lights of Sin City captured in high-definition VistaVision and vibrant Technicolor, which appear here in gorgeous documentary footage of the Strip; like most studio productions of the era, however, the bulk of this musical comedy was shot on producer Paramount’s lot.

In person: actor Peter Weller Marlon Brando took on his only feature directing project—following the last-minute departure of original director Stanley Kubrick—with this character-oriented Western about a bank robber who tracks down a friend (frequent Brando co-star Karl Malden) who betrayed him. The Academy Award–nominated VistaVision color cinematography by Charles Lang Jr. (How the West Was Won,1962) makes strong use of scenic locations in Mexico and California, with vivid imagery of Brando riding his horse along the Monterey coastline. Until 2024, One-Eyed Jacks was the final film shot with the VistaVision process.

Dr. Barnaby Fulton (Cary Grant) is a scatterbrained chemist working to create an elixir of youth. When one of his chimpanzees, Esther, breaks loose, she mixes chemicals in Barnaby’s lab, dumping the concoction into the office’s water cooler. The formula generates the rejuvenation effect Barnaby has been seeking — along with more chaotic side effects in some cases. Monkey Business allowed Monroe, who co-stars as Lois Laurel, to showcase her brilliant timing, further solidifying her reputation as a comedic actress.

Co-written by Anita Loos and Jane Murfin, The Women delivers 135 of them, each with a speaking role, to the exclusion of men. The delightfully witty and rapid-fire dialogue pours out of a cadre of familiar faces, including Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, and Rosalind Russell. While most of the film unfolds in black-and-white, a delightful six-minute Technicolor fashion show is included, featuring gowns by Adrian, the iconic, MGM-based costume designer. Contributing to the distinctive looks of the cast was the uncredited hair designer, MGM veteran Sydney Guilaroff, whose film career spanned the 1930s to the 1980s and included such classics as Singin’ in the Rain (1952), North by Northwest (1959) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?...

Stanley Kubrick’s follow-up to the foreboding A Clockwork Orange (1971) is a stately, gorgeously crafted, epic adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray’s novel about the curious fates of an Irish rogue. Ryan O’Neal portrays Lyndon, and the film earned seven nominations, including Best Picture, Directing, and Adapted Screenplay (all for Kubrick), with Oscars going to the Art Direction, Costume Design, Adaptation Score, and John Alcott’s painterly, natural and candlelit cinematography, which remains immensely influential.

Baz Luhrmann’s take on Shakespeare’s tragedy is perhaps one of the best-loved adaptations and is the second installment in his Red Curtain Trilogy, which closed with Moulin Rouge! (2001). Featuring Luhrmann’s distinctive, stylized palate coupled with frenetic, MTV-style editing and an all-star soundtrack, Romeo + Juliet became a classic for its casting, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes playing the star-crossed lovers.

Snow White, orphaned as a child, is forced to work under the reign of her evil stepmother, the Queen, who will stop at nothing to remain the most beautiful being in the land. When Snow White’s beauty grows, so does the Queen’s jealously. Seething with hatred, the Queen concocts a sinister plan to put an end to her. Will the princess escape her fate and achieve her happily ever after? Based on the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale, this first animated feature from The Walt Disney Company—and the first traditionally animated feature ever produced— was nominated for its original score; the following year, the Academy gave Disney a Special Award for the film (one full-sized Oscar and seven small ones), “recognized as a significant screen... innovation which has charmed millions and pioneered a great new entertainment field for the motion picture cartoon.”

Swedish auteur Ingmar Bergman’s most sentimental and autobiographical work is set in turn-of-the-century Sweden and appropriately bathed in the candlelit interiors common of the era. Unfolding through the eyes of 10-year-old Alexander, a boy from a wealthy family that operates the town theater, the narrative spans seasons and holidays, marriages and deaths, with small moments of daily life punctuating childhood milestones. Originally conceived as a television miniseries of more than five hours, the final, 188-minute version allowed the visuals of two-time Oscar-winning cinematographer Sven Nykvist (Fanny &amp; Alexander was one of his wins) to be admired at a scale befitting this epic drama.

An American tap dancer pursues the woman he loves from London to Venice in the fourth movie musical to feature the iconic team of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and the second of their films to receive a Best Picture nomination, following The Gay Divorcee (1934). Spotlighting the stars at their effortless best, it was also nominated for Irving Berlin’s classic “Cheek to Cheek,” Hermes Pan’s dance direction of the numbers “Piccolino” and “Top Hat, White Tie, and Tails,” and the art direction of Van Nest Polglase and Carroll Clark, whose elegant deco sets include a Venice canal constructed on a Los Angeles soundstage.

Miloš Forman directed Peter Shaffer’s screenplay, based on his Tony Award–winning play, about the 18th century rivalry between journeyman court composer Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham in an Academy Award–winning tour de force) and young upstart Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (fellow Best Actor nominee Tom Hulce). Saul Zaentz’s lavish production features opulent period details, while Shaffer’s witty script speaks eloquently about the challenge of art while leaving room for Mozart’s gorgeous music. The film earned 11 nominations, and its eight Oscar wins include Best Picture, Art Direction, Costume Design, Directing, Makeup, Sound, and for Shaffer’s adapted screenplay.
