“Ninotchka” is a true comedy masterpiece. No wonder – the combination of Greta Garbo’s talent with Ernst Lubitsch’s directorial sense must have resulted in such a treasure.

“Grand Hotel” went down in cinema history as a film that managed to bring together a whole plethora of the biggest stars of the 1930s, led by the legendary Greta Garbo.

“Queen Christina” with Greta Garbo is a great film in which the legendary actress played a historical heroine, but also announced her future abandonment of cinema.

Martin Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver,” with a legendary performance by Robert De Niro, brings american demons to life in the atmospheric, nocturnal metropolis of New York.

“Waterloo Bridge” starring Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor, is a fatalistic story of a pre-marriage reunion between two souls quickly and brutally separated by war.

“The Irishman” is a very personal film by Martin Scorsese. Old-style Hollywood returns to sum up the master’s work, but also to ask the last most important questions.

“The Two Popes” is a film that shows that no one has a monopoly on God and even spiritual heroes can come to him through completely different paths.

“Pride and Prejudice” is a film that has the idea of a faithful adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel, which does not mean that it has not been processed through the filter of modernity.

“Marriage Story” is a film that presents a truly Hollywood vision of divorce as a bit of a sad event, after which everything returns to the old order.

“Sense and Sensibility” by Ang Lee is a successful film adaptation of Jane Austen’s masterpiece, although it presents a slightly different vision of a woman than the author.

“The Bridge on the River Kwai” – one of the most famous war films – has a clear anti-war blade. There are no winners in war,” says David Lean.

“Stalker” by Andrei Tarkovsky is a picture of a barren land, or the metaphysical emptiness of modern times. The horror of this void is as great as the desire to fill it.
