The Apartment,1960. Bily Wilder directs.

The film was lauded by Soviet-bloc critics as an indictment of the American system and a story that could only have happened in a capitalistic city like New York. At a dinner honoring him in East Berlin, Billy Wilder said the movie "could happen anywhere, in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Rome, Paris, London." When Wilder said the one place it could not have happened was Moscow, the East Germans broke into thunderous applause and cheers. When the ovation died down, Wilder continued: "The reason this picture could not have taken place in Moscow is that in Moscow nobody has his own apartment." The remark was met with grim silence.
Billy Wilder gave Jack Lemmon free rein to fill in the character of C.C. "Bud" Baxter in performance. He compared the actor favorably to Charles Chaplin and thought he could do no wrong.
In the scene, where Karl punches Baxter, Jack Lemmon was supposed to mime being punched, he failed to move correctly and was accidentally knocked down. Billy Wilder chose to use the shot of the genuine punch in the film.

Bing Crosby, Bob Hope's long-term co-star and rival in the Road movies, plays Harry, an executioner, who is livid when he doesn't get to execute Ronnie Jackson (Hope's character). Hope fires back saying, "He'll take any kind of a part" (at the time, Crosby was a top star, but here he was doing a one-scene cameo).
Dunkirk, 1958.

When the troop ship taking the platoon home is bombed and sunk in Dunkirk harbor, the scene of the ship sinking is taken from The Cruel Sea (1953), which depicts the sinking of H.M.S. "Compass Rose".
The beach sequences were shot at Camber Sands on the south coast of England, while the town of Dunkirk was re-created in the nearby English town of Rye.
Looper, 2012.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 93% based on 271 reviews, with an average rating of 8.10/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "As thought-provoking as it is thrilling, Looper delivers an uncommonly smart, bravely original blend of futuristic sci-fi and good old-fashioned action."
Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) falling off the fire escape was filmed on the actor's 30th birthday. Gordon-Levitt was left hanging on the stunt wires while the crew sang "Happy Birthday" and wheeled out a birthday cake.
Did Emily Blunt pop out of the birthday cake? That would be nice.
she can pop out of mine if she wishes:DQuote:
