The Top-Rated Films in Cinema History

Unforgiven

Clint Eastwood directed, produced, and starred in this 1992 film, which won him an Academy Award for Best Director and the Best Actor nomination. The film depicts a clash between the town sheriff and two vigilantes who come to collect the reward for killing a pair of cowboys who brutally disfigured a sex worker. Unforgiven was the third-ever western to win the Oscar for Best Picture.

In a Lonely Place

In a Lonely Place stars legendary actor Humphrey Bogart as an alcoholic screenwriter suspected of murdering a girl he met only once. Bogart's spectacular performance is weighted perfectly against Gloria Grahame, who plays Bogart's love interest. The film was added to the Library of Congress in 2007.
