When all is said and done, The Third Man could possibly be one of the greatest British films of all time. This is a great movie about a person named Holly Martins who goes to find his long lost friend Harry Lime. The reason for this is that Harry Lime has offer Holly Martins a job in the now post war Austrian city of Vienna. This takes place after world war II when this place was divided between the countries of Britain, USA, USSR, and France. The Third Man really is a great tale and is a most see for everyone. Even though it is an older film does not mean that The Third Man is not good. In fact, many of the greatest films of all times where old movies. If you have not had a chance to see it you should go rent it today. However, it could be hard to find just at your local movie renting store. You may have to end up buy it online if you ever want to see it. Of course, I think the movie is well worth buying. A movie that has been talked about this much, has to be worth it.

The Third Man out had been the winner of many awards. One of the first awards it received was the 1949 Grand Prix award at the Cannes Film Festival. That was just the start of its awards, it also won a Best Film award from the British Academy Awards. We can not forget the academy award The Third Man won in 1950, for the best Black and White Cinematography. These are pretty big awards and are something that The Third Man should be very proud of. Not all movies that are made win this many awards. In fact, most movies do not win an award at all, never the less this many of them. Of course, this is a movie that is still well respected today, because in 2004 it was named the third best British film of all times by the Total Film magazine. It was also on the list of the best movie of all time done by the American Film Institute. The Third Man ranked number 57 on this list. When you think about all the movies that have ever been made, that is a really good spot. Over the course of history, millions of movies have been made. So to be in the top 100 is a great honor. Of course, when it comes right down to it, many people are going to rank this movie number one.

When you are thinking about what movies should be added to your DVD collection, you need to really think about adding The Third Man. After all this is one of the greatest British films of all time (it is even one of the greatest films ever). This movie is set in an older age, and the movie is in black and white so many younger people may not like this movie as much. You really need to be able to like black and white films to like this movie, if you do not like black and white films, then you are going to be missing out on a lot this movie has to offer. That is not something that you are going to want to do, because this is a great movie. You should go online tonight and look for a place to buy this movie, because you may not be able to rent it anymore from your local movie renting store. You could, however, may be able to rent it online from a place like NetFlix, they have a lot of great movies that you can rent, after all they have old and new movies.
