At 11:30 p.m. on October 11, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television — and culture — forever. Directed by Jason Reitman and written by Reitman and Gil Kenan, SATURDAY NIGHT is based on the true story of what happened behind the scenes in the 90 minutes leading up to the first broadcast of Saturday Night Live. Full of humor, chaos and the magic of a revolution that almost wasn't, we count down the minutes in real time until we hear those famous words…

An elegantly stylized masterpiece of cool by maverick director Jean–Pierre Melville, LE SAMOURAÏ is a razor-sharp cocktail of 1940s American gangster cinema and 1960s French pop culture — with a liberal dose of Japanese lone-warrior mythology.  One of the seminal films in Hollywood's noir movement, taut thriller THIS GUN FOR HIRE made stars of Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake, who would become Paramount's biggest box-office duo of the 1940s.

Originally part of an anthology of adapted Cornell Woolrich tales, NEVER OPEN THAT DOOR features masterful sequences of spine-tingling suspense. Framed as a children's fairy tale, IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE grows relentlessly darker, culminating in a terrifying sequence that never would have made it past Hollywood censors.

A fact-based retelling of one of Brazil's most notorious heists, ASSAULT ON THE PAY TRAIN reveals in the underbelly of Rio de Janeiro the dearth of basic rights for people living in the favelas. When his veteran partner is shot dead during a daring daylight robbery, an LAPD police lieutenant vows revenge in ARMORED CAR ROBBERY, a classic "B" movie.

Part caper, part prison picture, HARDLY A CRIMINAL is an audacious blending of NAKED CITY and BRUTE FORCE, telling the tale of a clever bank clerk who embezzles money from his employer and tries to get caught, due to a loophole in the Argentine justice system. From its thrilling opening, in which a crew of hooded robbers steal a huge load of gold bullion from a train during a driving rainstorm, PLUNDER ROAD never stops moving.

Aspiring actor Edward (Sebastian Stan) undergoes a medical procedure to drastically transform his appearance. But his new dream face quickly turns into a nightmare, as he loses out on the role he was born to play and becomes obsessed with reclaiming what was lost. Writer/director Aaron Schimberg's (CHAINED FOR LIFE) latest film is a subversive, gothic fairytale and a reflexive allegory for the modern tortured artist.

Carol Reed's intense manhunt thriller ODD MAN OUT won Best British Film at the inaugural British Academy Film Awards in 1948, and it remains one of the most highly regarded movies ever made in the United Kingdom. A uniquely Mexican version of noir dubbed "Rumberas," VICTIMS OF SIN is a film that virtually leaps off the screen: its music, characters, confrontations and emotions all boiling over the top.

William Holden and Barry Fitzgerald play a pair of cops racing to foil a kidnapping plot in Chicago's Union Station. UNION STATION packs a double-feature's worth of thrills into its brief runtime, including some brutality decades ahead of its time. CAIRO STATION's combination of gritty authenticity and psychosexual Expressionism created a landmark of Egyptian cinema — despite public boycotts over its unflinching perversity and politics.

15-year-old Robel (Joseph Smith) embarks on an errand to deliver a suitcase across town, enlisting the help of his best friend Fahmi (Natnael Mebrahtu). An unexpected turn transmutes his simple task into an odyssey across the rapidly gentrifying city of Seattle. A film both thematically universal and unmistakably specific to the experiences of Eritrean and Ethiopian Americans in Seattle and other diaspora communities across the U.S.

WITHOUT PITY stars African American GI John Kitzmiller as a U.S. soldier in Italy awaiting demobilization whose kindness toward a local working girl (Carla Del Poggio) leads to an unexpected romance. Though lauded at international festivals, its interracial romance prevented wide distribution in the U.S. In romantic suspense thriller THE SMALL BACK ROOM, David Farrar stars as bomb disposal expert faced with the ultimate explosive challenge: a German bomb sporting an unbeatable booby trap.

AWOL for almost 20 years, BLACK TUESDAY is a brutal and breakneck hostage yarn powered by stark imagery and one of Edward G. Robinson's most vicious performances. Adapted from a novel by ex-con José Giovanni based on a real prison break he had taken part in and co-starring another of the actual participants (Jean Keraudy), Noir master Jean-Pierre Melville declared LE TROU "the greatest French film of all time."
