Andrea Ciriaco is a senior writer for Collider who is an expert in Hollywood history and all things Classic Movies.
When it comes to movies, classic films are the basic foundation that, unfortunately, many modern audiences overlook for various reasons, such as being filmed in black-and-white or having outdated premises. While there's nothing wrong with not being a fan of classic movies, there's also no harm in giving them a chance. Even for those interested in dipping their toes into the genre, it could be difficult to figure out exactly where to start.
West Side Story is a modernized version of Romeo and Juliet that features incredible musical numbers and complex dance routines and also stars Rita Moreno, Russ Tamblyn, and George Chakiris. The film is considered to be one of the greatest musical movies of all time, winning ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actress for Moreno, who became the first Latin American woman to ever win the award.
Rebel Without a Cause is a coming-of-age romantic drama that explores the moral decaying of the American youth at the time as well as the ever-growing conflicts between the younger and older generations. Fresh off his Oscar-nominated role in East of Eden, Dean gives one of his most iconic performances and was also one of the actor's last films before he was killed in a car accident in 1955.
While Breakfast at Tiffany's isn't an exact adaptation of Capote's novel, it still ranks as an essential classic movie that should be on every beginner's list. With the perfect balance of comedy, romance, and tragedy, Breakfast at Tiffany's is a well-rounded film that features Hepburn's impeccable style, charm, and wit that is impossible for any audience to resist.
Stewart stars with Grace Kelly in one of Alfred Hitchcock's highest-grossing films, Rear Window, which many consider to be one of the greatest movies of all time. The point-of-view and panning cinematography effectively immerses audiences into the film's intensity, giving viewers the impression of being next to Stewart as he tries to figure out what happened to his neighbor's wife.
The romantic war drama, Casablanca, is an iconic classic film that features an ensemble of notable stars such as Sydney Greenstreet, Claude Rains, and Dooley Wilson. Despite having an A-list cast and a first-rate director and writers, Casablanca was a surprising hit for everyone involved, earning several Academy Award nominations and winning Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay.
