#88 - The Matrix (1999)

#81 - Sunset Blvd (1950)"Mr DeMille I am ready for my close up"
Billy Wilder's dark swipe at Hollywood is as close to the bone today than as it was over 50 years ago. The centerpiece in this tale is Norma Desmond, played brilliantly by Gloria Swanson, she is the former silent film who has faded into obscurity after the invention of talkies.
