A Movie (styled as A MOVIE) is a 1958 experimental collage film by American artist Bruce Conner.[1] It combines pieces of found footage taken from various sources such as newsreels,[2] soft-core pornography, and B movies, all set to a score featuring Ottorino Respighi's Pines of Rome.[3]
The film is recognized as a landmark work in American experimental cinema, particularly as an early example of found footage. A Movie was inducted into the National Film Registry in 1994.[4]
