Chet, a Baby Boomer, and Dee, a Millennial, share their perspectives on classic films. They'll tell you why they think these films are worth seeing and what we can learn from them. Although you'll hear a little trivia and a bit of talk about film-making and story-telling technique, the emphasis is on the value of the films as cultural artifacts. What do they tell us about the times in which they were made? What lessons can they still teach us today?

14: "Sunset Blvd." (1950) Classic Movie Recommendation
Sometimes rich and famous people have a hard time coming to grips with the fact that they're no longer sitting on top of the world. Take, for instance, Norma Desmond, forgotten silent film idol who hides out in her creepy mansion, convinced she's still famous and about to get a call to resume her career. Sometimes people who've yet to make it big have a hard time deciding whether they should keep pursuing their dreams or quit kidding themselves. Take, for instance, aspiring screenwriter Joe Gillis. What happens when these two characters cross paths? It's not pretty, but it makes for a truly classic film.
