'Sunset Boulevard' Is One of the Greatest Movies of All Time

One does not need to see Billy Wilder's noir/dark comedy masterpiece Sunset Boulevardto understand why it's one of the greatest and most iconic films of all time. After all, most people have probably heard or even said some of its most famous lines ("I am big — it's the pictures that got small!" or "Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up now!"). Even the most casual moviegoers have probably seen at least one clip or shot from the movie featuring the film's antagonist, the washed-up and increasingly delusional silent film star Norma Desmond (played memorably by Gloria Swanson, herself a veteran of Hollywood's silent film era).
