I saw Hunger, Steve McQueen’s first film, about a week before Shame was scheduled to be released in UK cinemas, and it felt like one of the longest weeks of my entire life: I was so excited to see this film that I thought it would never live up to my expectations, but it did. Fassbender's performance is one of the most striking in recent years, and the sheer power behind McQueen’s script/direction nearly brought me to tears.
49. The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
(Luis Buñuel / 1972)

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is the perfect Luis Buñuel film: it’s a comic masterpiece, it’s critical of the Bourgeoisie, it’s surreal, and it’s radical. The film is interrupted a lot by dream sequences and other tales, but it all adds to the festivities. It’s not Buñuel most important film (that would be Un Chien Andalou or Los Olvidados) but it is his best.
48. Dial M for Murder
(Alfred Hitchcock / 1954)

This is one of Hitchcock’s most visually compelling movies, filled with outstanding performances from Ray Milland, Grace Kelly, Robert Cummings and more. Although considered second tier Hitchcock, the beautiful visuals and intricate script keeps the film engaging and enjoyable the whole time.
