Amadeus | 15 Years, 15 Hits

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is the toast of European society thanks to his remarkable talent (and in spite of his mess of a personal life), but he's unknowingly haunted by a darkness: the fierce jealously of fellow composer Antonio Salieri, who resents Mozart even more than he revers his talent. As Salieri is gradually consumed by his jealousy, he becomes obsessed with Mozart's downfall, leading to a devious scheme that has dire consequences for both men. Winner of eight Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup, and Best Sound, and chosen for preservation by the Library of Congress for its cultural, historical, and aesthetic significance.
