Greed (1924)
This 140-minute version of Greed is all that remains (the original is a ten-hour version of Erich von Stroheim’s most famous movie), and while the 1924 film is a mere quarter of the original, it’s still one of the greatest accomplishments of the silent film era. While it was considered a flop when it originally came out, by the 50’s it began to be regarded as one of the greatest films ever made.

The Big Country (1958)
Gregory Peck plays a naval man who heads west to marry Carroll Baker, the daughter of rancher Charles Bickford. However Bickford is mixed up in a water-rights feud with the greedy Burl Ives, so both he and his daughter are hoping that Peck can take care of himself. Many events transpire but when Jean is kidnapped by Ives’ no-good son, Peck must take action. President Dwight D. Eisenhower was a huge fan of the film!
