Sunset Blvd. was released in 1950 and went on to win three Academy Awards, though it nominated for a whole lot more. The Billy Wilder-helmed masterpiece — sometimes spelled out as Sunset Boulevard — features a stellar cast led by William Holden and Gloria Swanson — and by the turn of the century, the American Film Institute ranked the tragic dark comedy near the top of its "Greatest American Movies of All Time" list.
An aging silent film queen (Swanson) refuses to accept that her stardom has ended. She hires a young screenwriter (Holden) to help set up her movie comeback. The screenwriter believes he can manipulate her, but he soon finds out he is wrong. The screenwriter's ambivalence about their relationship and her unwillingness to let go leads to a situation of violence, madness and death.
Another all-time best that Rotten Tomatoes has boasted over the years is a Ridley Scott stunner that was released nearly 30 years after Sunset Blvd.Alien (1979) stood out for its ability to blend genres, combining the tension of a horror film with the expansive world-building of science fiction. Its slow-building suspense, eerie atmosphere and groundbreaking creature design made it unlike anything audiences had seen before.
