Looking to sit down with a good movie to take your mind off things? Then choose one of these great American films, selected by the Craveread review team, and get your popcorn popping!
Greed by Erich von Stroheim
The existing print isn't quite von Stroheim's full vision, but it is extraordinary nonetheless. In this silent drama, the great Zasu Pitts wins the lottery and the greed that follows her windfall ruins the lives of three people. The final scene in Death Valley is an absolute stunner.
Fargo by Joel (and Ethan) Coen
A deeply black — but hilarious — comedy about a sheriff (Frances McDormand) investigating a series of murders in small-town Minnesota. The murderers are not encumbered by competence, while the townspeople would likely call the sheriff "sharp as a tack."
Some Like it Hot by Billy Wilder
Some call this a perfect comedy. Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and spend the rest of the movie on the run from mobsters by dressing in drag and playing in an all-woman band with the likes of Marilyn Monroe, in her best role.
