The Spanish-born surrealist filmmaker Luis Buñuel was born on this day in the year 1900. Here's Roger Ebert's classic review of The Exterminating Angel (Buñuel, BTW, was an atheist).

Video above, his first movie from 1929, Un Chien Andalou ("The Andalusian Dog"). Or as we used to call it in art school, "the eyeball movie."
