The Seven Best Dramas: #1

1. Sunset Boulevard (1950)
Directed by Billy Wilder
Starring William Holden and Gloria Swanson
Winner of 3 Academy Awards, Including Best Original Screenplay. Nominated for 11.

We conclude the "Seven Best" series with something that would seem odd to most. But I truly do think that Sunset Boulevard, Billy Wilder's masterpiece, is the greatest drama ever made. The characters are so original and developed through very little dialogue, the story is original and always changing and the performances are...wow. All these things contribute into making Sunset Blvd. the greatest movie of all time.




Well, that does it for the series. Any comments or suggestions?

Sunset Blvd? Seriously Brian? The Best Drama?

I must say that was EXTREMELY dissapointing.

Sunset Blvd. is the most OVERRATED film ever anyways.
