16. Last Year at Marienbad (1961)
Director Alain Resnais has a wonderful connection the baroque corridors of a luxury hotel in a story that may involve adultery and murder. A ghost’s meditation on time and memory or, in the words of Albert Steptoe, “the baggage of old shoes”? Hey, how about both.
15. The Red Queen Kills Seven Times (1972)
The iconic murder mystery photo, shot in Germany, is of a man in a long red robe and white mask descending to the ground. an unpleasant modern waysword held high. A family curse, Barbara Bouchet’s self-inflicted guilt and Bruno Nicolai’s sublime score reach the giallo minimum.

13. The Beginning (2010)
The most interesting aspect of Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi adventure is the fight against diversity. Joseph Gordon-Levitt takes on two goons in a round hotelpart of a multi-dimensional dream world. Like the spinning cage in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), zero gravity was achieved with its effects.
12. Resident Evil (2002)
Lethal Squad first appeared in Cube (1997), but Paul WS Anderson’s first film in the form of a zombie shoot-em-up franchise. the entire corridor complete with deadly laser beams, which slice and dice four hapless commandos trying to outrun the AI to shut down the genetic research facility. Another reason to avoid AI.
11. The Shining (1980)

9. Paprika (2006)
A detective is haunted by recurring dreams about the body in an unsolved murder case in a house. undulating corridor.

8. Shock Corridor (1963)
“A long family is a magical path to a Pulitzer prize,” says an aspiring journalist who volunteers at an asylum to solve a murder.

7. Galaxy Quest (1999)
On their way to stop the self-destructive process of space, Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver have to ask the fans on Earth to talk to them properly. ways to help full of crap, broken stuff, happily copied from their TV show by unsuspecting visitors. “It doesn’t make sense, why is it here?” Weaver’s character laments in an adorable Star Trek spoof that manages to make you laugh and cry, sometimes both at the same time.
6. The Exorcist III (1990)
Standardized thinking a hospital corridor This is one of the most interesting things about this spine. The arrival of the security guards makes us think that the night nurse is safe from the Gemini Killer, but the other characters are gradually called in, setting the scene for one of the most terrifying jumps in the movie.
Double-crossed and left for dead by his partner and wife, the troubled protagonist (Lee Marvin) sets out to reclaim his share of the loot. Invariable demand is confirmed by Marvin I’m walking on the road At the Los Angeles airport, footsteps are walking in the film.
4. Barton Fink (1991)
Rivaling The Shining’s Overlook as the most spectacular hotel in the movies, Hotel Earle surpasses this with the most terrifying John Goodman. it hits the floor of the balcony with a gun, shouting, “I show the life of the mind!” while the ugly art deco paper burns around him.
3. Oldboy (2003)
Start fighting a narrow passage raises the old question: “Why not all attack at the same time?” Armed with nothing but a hammer and adrenaline, Choi Min-sik fends off all comers from the vengeful Park Chan-wook, even after being stabbed in the back. It’s a boring but amazing three-minute side-kick: a corrida-like finale, if you will.
2. Goodfellas (1990)
On their first date, Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) seduces Karen (Lorraine Bracco) by skipping the line at the Copacabana club and leading her through the back door, through endless corridors and through the kitchen to exit the loft in front of the stage. Props to Steadicam operator Larry McConkey, and Liotta, who put all kinds of business on the road, ensuring “Shooting for the Copa” It wasn’t just taking the back of his head with Bracco.
1. Beauty and the Beast (1946)
Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast (2017) made more than $1bn at the box office, but Jean Cocteau’s tale of money, cobbled together from wartime scraps and textiles, still works its magic. There are two memorable corridors here: the Palace of the Beast lit by motionless hands holding candelabras, and Belle (Josette’s Day) floating in the street the sides are round curtains. Day was drawn to roller coasters – anticipating Spike Lee’s signature float, which he first used in his 1990 film Mo’ Better Blues, in his forties. Pure movie magic.
