Kiss Me Deadly (1955)
Crime | Drama | Film-Noir | Thriller
In this atomic adaptation of Mickey Spillane's novel, directed by Robert Aldrich, the good manners of the 1950s are blown to smithereens. Ralph Meeker stars as snarling private dick Mike Hammer, whose decision one dark, lonely night to pick up a hitchhiking woman sends him down some terrifying byways. Brazen and bleak, Kiss Me Deadly is a film noir masterpiece as well as an essential piece of cold war paranoia, and it features as nervy an ending as has ever been seen in American cinema.

A Farewell to Arms (1957)
Drama | Romance | War
Hollywood legends Rock Hudson and Jennifer Jones heat up the screen in a towering adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's novel, the famous tale of doomed love amidst the howl and fury of the most perilous theatre of World War I – the snowy Alpine peaks and muddy plains of northern Italy. Majestically filmed in the actual Hemingway locales (the Alps, Milan, Switzerland and Rome), A Farewell to Arms tells of the love affair of Lt. Henry (Hudson), an American ambulance driver injured on the battlefront, and Catherine (Jones), the English nurse who shares his pain – and his hospital bed. When Henry is forced to desert, the devoted (and now pregnant) Catherine joins him in his flight to neutral Switzerland…where very different, even greater danger awaits. Best Supporting Actor Oscar® nominee Vittorio De Sica co-stars in this epic motion picture worthy of Hemingway's American classic.
