#5: It Happened One Night (1934)
One of the most romantic films of its time, It Happened One Night follows runaway heiress Ellie Andrews, played by Claudette Colbert, as she escapes her controlling father and crosses paths with cynical reporter Peter Warne, played by Clark Gable. Their bus journey sparks misadventures, witty banter, and the iconic hitchhiking scene. Directed by Frank Capra, it swept the “five big” Academy Awards: Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay.
