41. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)

The melancholy of Michel Legrand’s glorious score washes over viewers’ hearts from the first moment of Jacques Demy’s nontraditional, sung-through musical. One of the most romantic films ever made about the pains and purity of first love, the immaculately styled The Umbrellas of Cherbourg challenged the lighter Hollywood musicals of the era (like The Sound of Music and My Fair Lady) and launched the sensational Catherine Deneuve into international stardom. Later, it would be a major influence on La La Land.

《瑟堡的雨伞》

        从Jacques Demy的非传统、通唱的音乐剧的第一刻起，Michel Legrand光荣配乐的忧郁就冲刷着观众的心。有史以来关于初恋的痛苦和纯洁的最浪漫的电影之一，风格完美无暇的《瑟堡的雨伞》挑战了那个时代更轻松的好莱坞音乐剧（如《音乐之声》和《窈窕淑女》），并将耸人听闻的Catherine Deneuve推向了国际明星地位。后来，它将对La La Land产生重大影响。

42. Chinatown (1974)

Thrillers

Director Roman Polanski and screenwriter Robert Towne took a modestly sleazy noir setup and turned it into a meditation on the horrors of American history and rapacious capitalism. The film also sports a perfect cast, with a top-of-his-game Jack Nicholson as a cynical private eye, an impossibly alluring Faye Dunaway as the femme fatale with a past so dark her final revelation still shocks, and the legendary John Huston as the monstrous millionaire at the heart of it all.

《唐人街》

        导演罗曼.波罗斯基和编剧Robert Towne采用了适度肮脏的黑色装置，并将其变成了对美国历史和贪婪资本主义的恐怖的沉思。这部电影还拥有完美的演员阵容，顶级的Jack Nicholson扮演愤世嫉俗的私家侦探，一个不可能诱人的Faye Dunaway扮演的女杀手，她的过去如此黑暗，她的最终启示仍然令人震惊，传奇人物John Huston扮演可怕的百万富翁，是这一切的核心。

43. The Seventh Seal (1957)

Not just any film gets homaged by Bill and Ted. But Ingmar Bergman’s great treatise on mortality isn’t just any film. Despite becoming somehow synonymous with “difficult art-house statement,” it’s not all weighty themes, plague-strewn landscapes and chess games with the Grim Reaper. As Max von Sydow’s medieval knight travels the land witnessing the apocalypse, loads of life-affirming moments lighten the load. Of course, it’s a work of profound philosophical thought, too, so you’ll feel brainier for having seen it.
