Casablanca

Granted, everyone will know you're looking at this site when you can't resist the
urge to play "As Time Goes By" while you're looking at it, but this site is well
worth any embarrassment you might experience. (If AOL is poking along when you try
to access, as is pretty common on weekends and other high-traffic times, you might
want to wait and try again later. The home page loading may seem interminable.)
Citizen Kane
http://www.voyagerco.com/movies/directors/welles/p.makingkane.html
This site covers the making of, problems with, and controversy over this American
classic. Use this page only as a refresher or an introduction; nothing can substitute
for the real thing.
The Jazz Singer (1927)
http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~nick/e309k/texts/jazzsinger/jazzsinger.html
Very little information is available on the film, but check out the images that are
around, and link to other pages on topics related to one of the first movies to use
synchronous sound.
Metropolis

Even if you aren't already familiar with this Fritz Lang film, once you navigate
around the page you're sure to recognize many of the images. Lots of information
is out there on the Web about Metropolis, and you can find the links here.
