Un Chien Andalou (1929)
Un Chien Andalou remains a startling artifact suggesting ways in which film can express the subconscious. The result of Luis Buñuel's collaboration with Salvador Dalí, the 17-minute film was designed expressly to shock and provoke. Opening with the canonical eyeball-slashing sequence and divided into baffling "chapters", this is a work of art obsessed with religion, lust, decay, violence, and death. It isn't simply one of the great works of the surrealist movement, but a segment of cinematic DNA that irrevocably altered the aesthetics of film. In its tangled corridors you find the seeds to the disappearing-mouth bit in The Matrix, the carcasses strewn through Peter Greenaway's A Zed and Two Noughts and pretty much the entire oeuvre of David Lynch.
 
L'Age d'Or (1930)
Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí scripted this surrealistic masterpiece that caused riots during its original release in 1930. Bishops turn into skeletons and cows wander into bedrooms in this anticlerical delight, which was suppressed for 30 years by religious authorities. It expands on the themes of Buñuel/Dalí's initial collaboration in Un Chien Andalou - frustration, violence, sex and religion - and their myriad permutations. In embracing the revolutionary avant-garde's guerrilla campaign against the conventional and repressive, it represents a watershed for experimental cinema. The objects of abuse and ridicule are the police, clergy and well-to-do: all ubiquitous targets throughout Buñuel's oeuvre.

Spellbound (1945)
