1. Bronyenosyets Potyomkin (The Battleship Potemkin). A 1925 silent film by the Russian Sergei Eisenstein. The still shows the ground-breaking 'Odessa Staircase' sequence where Czarist soldiers massacre Odessans. Many films pay homage to the scene - The Godfather and The Untouchables to name two.

8. Blade Runner. This 1981 film by Ridley Scott starred Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer. A commerical failure on release, it has since become a cult favourite and is especially noted for the dystopian environs of Los Angeles set in 2019.
9. Bonnie and Clyde. This 1967 film starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway as the bank robbing, gun touting couple who operated during the Great Depression. Bonnie and Clyde is considered a landmark film in that it broke many of the prevalent taboos and was popular with the younger generation. Among the films it inspired was Natural Born Killers.
10. The Misfits. This 1961 John Huston film is now memorable for having been the last completed film of two icons of cinema - Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. Gable died 10 days after filming (he suffered a heart attack attributed to the harsh conditions while filming). Within a year and a half, Monroe died of a drug overdose. The film features another matinee idol, Montgomery Clift and the trio can be seen in the picture.
