"Awards? We don't need no steenkin' awards!" 1947 was a rough year for movies, but the film industry picked back up in '48 with an Italian neo-realist classic, a lavish Technicolor dance fantasy, Alfred Hitchcock's one-shot experiment, and an iconic, quixotic Mexican treasure hunt - and that's just for starters. But which one film has best managed to stand the test of time?

Our five nominees are Bicycle Thieves, Letter From An Unknown Woman, The Red Shoes, Rope, and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Who wins the Moonlight?
