Yann Arthus-Bertrand's "Human" is a tour de force in exercising our empathy. Filmed in 60 countries, it is the result of interviews with more than 2,000 people. It showcases not only the diversity of humanity, but also the beauty of our planet through stunning aerial photography. This is an intense work.
- The Graduate (1967) Mike Nichols’ indelible comedy of alienation is that rare thing, a movie that really does define a generation. That’s because there has never been another movie like it (and no, “Rushmore” doesn’t count).
- 12 Angry Men (1957) How elemental — and riveting — is this: an entire courtroom drama set inside the jury room, where Henry Fonda, as the only member of the jury who suspects that a teenage defendant might not be guilty of murder, questions, cajoles and gradually convinces his fellow jurors to look more closely at the evidence.
- Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988) You never forget your first. That may be how many American art-house habituésthink of Pedro Almodóvar’s riotous comedy.
- Alien (1979) A smothering tentacled thingy attaches itself to an astronaut’s face. Several scenes later, an alien fetus erupts right out of his belly, and the cinema would never be the same.

Directed by Errol Morris
For movie fans, this four-star film selection by Ebert may have raised some eyebrows. A renowned documentarian, Errol Morris' oeuvre explores knowledge itself, concerned as much with the people possessing it as it is with the highly specific nature of expertise. With the help of cinematographer Ned Burgess, Morris' ticket to mainstream recognition was Gates of Heaven, a documentary about a pet mortician and the animals he's buried in a California pet cemetery. No matter if it's a documentary...
Directed by Michael Apted
This documentary is a prime example of how filmmaking can bridge time, and for Ebert, that bridge extends into his own life. 28 Up is a biographical piece in which director Michael Aptedinterviews the same group of British adults over several seven-year wait periods. While it's one that audiences might not be familiar with, the documentary is a passionate project that services the fascination with personal evolution and perspective. Ebert's four-star review ruminates with the mystery of time...
Directed by Yasujirō Ozu
An emotional review from the heart, Ebert speaks of Floating Weeds and its director, Yasujirō Ozu, as if they are life-long friends. The excellent international feature filmflies mostly under the radar when it comes to mainstream attention, but earned a four-star rating and place on Ebert's greatest of all time list. The 1959 drama tells the story of a man who returns to the small town where he left his son and attempts to make up for the missed years while the child remains under the assumpt...
Directed by Stanley Kubrick
Iconic, top-rated, foundational...all descriptors that apply to 2001: A Space Odyssey. A transformative film, Ebert's four-star rating praised and understood the ingenious multi-level craftsmanship that produced a tedious, thought-provoking film. Directed by Stanley Kubrick, this sci-fi film takes audiences through space and time as a spaceship, operated by two men and an AI computer named H.A.L 9000, is sent to Jupiter to understand a mysterious artifact. The Oscar winner for Best Visual Eff...
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Adding another iconic director to the greatest of all time, Notorious was Alfred Hitchcock's ticket to Ebert's heart. A drama starring Hollywood royalty Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, the movie follows T.R. Devlin, who recruits the daughter of a convicted German criminal, Alicia, to act as a spy. When she becomes involved with a Nazi hiding in Brazil, their dangerous scheme threatens to slip out of their hands. Ebert's four-star review revels in Hitchcock's ability "to pluck the strings of hu...
Directed by Martin Scorsese
The film that perhaps knocked Taxi Driver off Ebert's top ten list, Raging Bull is one of the best sports movies of all time and arguably the all-time best boxing picture. Starring as real-life boxer Jake La Motta, Robert De Niro portrays the middleweight champ's dominating, violent force inside the ring, which translated into a volatile and painful life outside of it. Ebert's four-star ratingcommends the technical command demonstrated by Martin Scorsese, from the visual effects, sound design...
Directed by Carol Reed
A film with a "reckless, unforgettable visual style," The Third Man maintains a narrative just as powerful about the optimism of Americans slates against the weary European post-war perspective. A gripping mystery and visually distinctive triumph, this film-noir tells the story of Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten) in postwar Vienna as he investigates the death of his friend Harry Lime (Orson Welles). From its on-location filming to the atmospheric and striking cinematography, The Third Manis a fo...
Directed by Federico Fellini
An Oscar-winning Italian masterpiece, La Dolce Vita is a romanticized tale of a week's worth of stories for a tabloid journalist living in Rome. It secured one golden statute for Best Costume Design, yielded three other nominations, and now stands as one of its country's greatest cinematic achievements. The film stars Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg and is directed by Federico Fellini. Rewatching the movie once a decade, Ebert poignantly reminds readers that "Movies do not change, but t...
Directed by Michael Curtiz
Doting upon the cinematic masterpiece, Ebert's four-star review paints an adoring picture of a movie about love and the sacrifices made in the name of it. Casablancafeatures Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman as Rick Blaine and Ilsa Lund, a pair of former lovers reuniting in the Vichy-controlled city of Casablanca. Fighting their lingering feelings, Rick must help Ilsa's husband, a Czechoslovak resistance leader, escape so he can continue his fight against the Nazis during World War II. The m...
Directed by Orson Welles
Citizen Kane is a movie that continues to age like fine wine, retaining its status as one of the best movies of all time to Ebert and audiences alike. Directed by Orson Welles, this movie tells the story of a group of reporters desperate to decode the final words of publishing tycoon Charles Foster Kane (Welles), infamously based on real-life magnate William Randolph Hearst. His four-star review highlightsiconic symbolism and invitation to seek out deeper meaning in every frame. Highly influe...
