The Lost World - Arthur Conan Doyle
This classic story written by the creator of Sherlock Holmes, leads us on a fantastic adventure into the unknown. After some outrages claims are made public by the larger than life Professor Challenger, a decision is made to send a scientific expedition out to explore the facts. The selected party head for the secret location in South America and discover that the Professor's claims are not only true but even understated. Along with the existence of prehistoric dinosaurs, there also happens to be a race of ape-men that the team have to confront. A fantastic adventure ensues with thrills and excitement.
Movies like Jurassic Park make excellent experiences out of ideas that were originally written in the early 1900's.
Seems like the Classics rule...

Alfred Hitchcock
He is well-known for his later films such as Foreign Correspondent and Topaz and Vertigo. You might even know him for a spoof of one of his movies like High Anxiety. You owe a great debt to Alfred Hitchcock whenever you watch a dramatic movie.
Alfred Hitchcock first found work as a draftsman and a designer of advertisements. Due to his aptitude and interest in movies, he was a success designing title cards for silent movies.
Alfred Hitchcock wrote silent films such as The Great Day in Germany and Great Britain before he became a director. In 1925, at last, he had the opportunity to direct The Pleasure Garden. He then moved forward as a director for other silent films. His skill at story telling with unique camera work was immediately evident.
It's too bad that some of his earlier work is known from just clips of film or have been lost altogether.
Once sound was possible, his dialog further enriched his films. He made quite a few early films in Great Britain. Once these talkies found commercial success, he gained access to more resources so that he could improve his movie making even more.
The current generation of filmgoers may know Alfred Hitchcock better for the remakes of his films than the original works. There have been several box office hits as a result of his later films being remade.
If you get the chance to watch one of Hitchcock's films, be sure to watch for him. He often made cameo appearances of some type in his films. Here are a few examples:
* Easy Virtue made in 1928 where Hitchcock is seen walking past a tennis court carrying a walking stick
* To Catch a Thief made in 1955 where Hitchcock is seen sitting to the left of Cary Grant on the bus
* The Trouble with Harry made in 1955 where Hitchcock is seen walking past the parked limousine of an old man who is looking at paintings
* The Paradine Case made in 1947 where Hitchcock is seen leaving the train at Cumberland Station, carrying a cello
