I will work on compiling a list for you (more to come)

L'Age D'Or (1930)

Max Ernst
Pierre Prevert
Gaston Modot
Run Time:
60 (mins)

Summary:
Bunuel and surrealist
painter Salvador Dali
scripted this surrealistic
masterpiece that caused
riots during its original
release in 1930. Bishops

Un Chien
Andalou/Land
Without Bread
(1928)
Category:
Documentary
Director:
Luis Bunuel
Run Time:
39 (mins)
Distributor
Name:
PHD Video
Summary:
Two masterpieces by
influential Spanish
surrealist satirist Luis
Bunuel. "Un Chien Andalou,"
Bunuel's first film,
continues to shock
audiences as it did in 1928
with its provocative
imagery, including the
infamous cutting open of an
eye with a straight razor.
"Land Without Bread" is a
horrifying account of one
of Spain's most desolate
and poverty-stricken rural
regions, Las Hurdes.
