Released in 1971 to critical acclaim and public controversy, The Last Picture Show garnered eight Academy Award nominations (including Best Picture) and was hailed as the most important work by a young American director since Citizen Kane.

A surprisingly frank, bittersweet drama of social and sexual mores in small-town Texas, the film features a talent-laden cast led by Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd and Timothy Bottoms.

Also starring Cloris Leachman and Ben Johnson, who would each win an Oscar for their work in supporting roles, The Last Picture Show is "an American epitaph of epic proportions" and remains one of the most brilliant, evocative and compelling motion pictures of our time.
