1	Some Like It Hot (1959) more movies like this directed by Billy Wilder featuring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, George Raft, Pat O'Brien The launching pad for Billy Wilder's comedy classic was a rusty old German farce, Fanfares of Love , whose two main characters were male musicians so desperate to get a job that they disguise themselves as women and play with an all-girl band in gangster-dominated 1929 Chicago. In this version, musicians Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) ... see all copies from £1.36! new only from £2.73!
2	Witness for the Prosecution (1957) more movies like this directed by Billy Wilder featuring Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich, Charles Laughton, Elsa Lanchester, Una O'Connor Having just recovered from a heart attack, fabled British barrister Sir Wilfred Robards (Charles Laughton) has been ordered by his doctor to give up everything he holds dear-brandy, cigars and especially courtroom cases. Robards' already shaky resolve to follow doctor's orders flies out the window when he takes up the defense of Leonard Vole ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £6.32!

Robinson, Porter Hall, Jean Heather Directed by Billy Wilder and adapted from a James M. Cain novel by Wilder and Raymond Chandler, Double Indemnity represents the high-water mark of 1940s film noir urban crime dramas in which a greedy, weak man is seduced and trapped by a cold, evil woman amidst the dark shadows and Expressionist lighting of modern cities. Phyllis Dietrichson ... see all copies from £4.96! new only from £11.61!
5	The Apartment (1960) more movies like this directed by Billy Wilder featuring Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, Fred MacMurray, Ray Walston, Edie Adams, David Lewis Widely regarded as a comedy in 1960, The Apartment seems more melancholy with each passing year. Jack Lemmon plays C.C. Baxter, a go-getting office worker who loans his tiny apartment to his philandering superiors for their romantic trysts.

6	Sunset Boulevard (1950) more movies like this directed by Billy Wilder featuring William Holden, Gloria Swanson, Erich Von Stroheim, Nancy Olson, Fred Clark Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard ranks among the most scathing satires of Hollywood and the cruel fickleness of movie fandom.

From The Great Beyond, Joe details the circumstances of his untimely demise (originally, the film contained a ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £6.14!
7	The Spirit of St. Louis (1957) more movies like this directed by Billy Wilder featuring James Stewart, Murray Hamilton, Patricia Smith, Bartlett Robinson, Marc Connelly A misfire for all concerned, The Spirit of St. Louis can be chalked up as a courageous failure. At age 48, James Stewart was far too old to be convincing as 27-year-old "Lone Eagle" Charles Lindbergh. Director Billy Wilder, a past master of cynical pessimism, was clearly the wrong choice to helm this paean to ingenuous optimism. And the ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £8.19!
8	Love in the Afternoon (1957) more movies like this directed by Billy Wilder featuring Gary Cooper, Audrey Hepburn, Maurice Chevalier, John McGiver, Van Doude Gary Cooper more or less repeats his international-roue characterization from 1938's Bluebeard's Eighth Wife for the 1957 romantic comedy Love in the Afternoon (both films were co-scripted by Billy Wilder, who also directed the latter picture). Audrey Hepburn co-stars as the daughter of Parisian private eye Maurice Chevalier. Investigating the ... see all copies from £2.74! new only from £10.92!

Stalag 17, exclusively populated by American sergeants, is overseen by sadistic commandant Oberst Von Schernbach (Otto Preminger) and the deceptively avuncular sergeant Schultz (Sig Ruman). The inmates spend their waking hours circumventing the boredom of prison life; at night, they ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £10.21!
10	The Seven Year Itch (1955) more movies like this directed by Billy Wilder featuring Marilyn Monroe, Tom Ewell, Evelyn Keyes, Sonny Tufts, Robert Strauss Like thousands of other Manhattanites, Tom Ewell annually packs his wife (Evelyn Keyes) and children off to summer vacation, staying behind to work at the office.

11 view cover	Ace in the Hole (1951) more movies like this directed by Billy Wilder featuring Kirk Douglas, Jan Sterling, Robert Arthur, Porter Hall, Frank Cady Billy Winder directed and co-wrote this bitterly satiric comedy-drama which turns a jaundiced eye towards both the news media and its consumers.

When ... see all copies from £21.17! new only from £21.17!

14 view cover	The Fortune Cookie (1966) more movies like this directed by Billy Wilder featuring Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Ron Rich, Cliff Osmond, Judi West The British title of Billy Wilder's classic comedy was Meet Whiplash Willie -- for, despite Jack Lemmon's star billing, the movie's driving force is Oscar-winning Walter Matthau as gloriously underhanded lawyer "Whiplash" Willie Gingrich. CBS cameraman Harry Hinkle (Lemmon) is injured when he is accidentally bulldozed by football player Luther ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £7.00!

(1964) more movies like this directed by Billy Wilder featuring Dean Martin, Kim Novak, Ray Walston, Felicia Farr, Cliff Osmond The Catholic League of Decency gave Billy Wilder's Kiss Me, Stupid! a "condemned" rating.
