Cinema is regarded as the sum of all arts, and not mistakenly; since its origins, filmmakers strove to enrich their work by looking at other forms of art – poetry, painting, music, and of course, theater.

Sometimes the distinction between the latter and cinema is neat, sometimes not; there is always something the two arts have in common, something that obsessed over and still obsesses the masters of the Seventh Art. A thin line marks the border, a line that only a few artists can cross successfully. Here are 20 great films that succeeded in crossing this line, each in its own way.
