Here are 2 films:-
A)    Tall building - 8hours 5minutes - silent.
B)    Blue screen
        final words are:
        
In time,
No one will remember our work
Our life will pass like the traces of a cloud
And be scattered like
Mist that is chased by the
Rays of the sun
For our time is the passing of a shadow
And our lives will run like
Sparks through the stubble. I place a delphinium, Blue, upon your grave

brisket, it took me about 10 seconds to know the two films you mean but I won't post my answers yet to give others a chance, but as indirect clues I'll just say Marilyn Monroe and nuclear power station.
Love your indirect clues El Loro.

They are sufficient to tell me that you have got the correct answers.

A)  Empire
B)  Blue
Congratulations 
brisket
Thanks brisket.
For the benefit of others Empire is a very very long film showing the Empire State Building. It was one of Andy Warhol's experimental films, and he was of course better known for those multicoloured pictures of Marilyn Monroe.
Blue was a film from the late Derek Jarman. It just shows a blue screen for the duration of the film - it is the onlly film made which when it received it's TV premiere on Channel 4, the soundtrack was also on Radio 3 at the same time. Jarman's last home was near the nuclear power station at Dungeness.

By the way, no one has yet given the correct answer to my little question from earlier this afternoon - it is a well known film.

 A satire, a deluge, and a fake.
Sorry for leaping in here, but I've just had a brainwave:
Singin' in the Rain.

A satire: The film is a satire on the early days of Hollywood.
A deluge: I don't need to spell this one out, do I?
A fake: The plot revolves around Debbie Reynolds's character providing the (fake) voice for a leading actress from the silent era.

Here's another question for a well known film.
Throws a bone, can't afford a fancy wedding actually rather slow and low, goes on a trip, and a baby.
I didn't want to leap in again as:
a) I wanted to give others a go, and
b) I'm not 100% certain anyway - especially with the middle clues.

However, if I was to say "Zarathustra": would I be on the right lines?
Eugene's Lair
Well done Eugene's Lair, you are correct again

As no-one else has posted an answer, I confirm that the answer is 2001 A Spance Odyssey.

For the benefit of others:

Throws a bone is the scene where an ape throws a bone into the air, and as it spins the scene shifts time to show a space ship in place of the bone.

Can't afford a fancy wedding actually rather slow and low refers to the scene where Hal the homicidal computer is put out of action with the computer boards being removed. As this happens Hal starts singing Daisy, daisy, and as more and more boards are removed, his voice gets slower and lower until by the time he has sung "it won't be a stylish marriage , can't afford a carriage" he stops.

Goes on a trip refers to the psychedelic journey through the stars portal. It has been compared to having an LSD trip.

The baby is obviously a reference to the final enigmatic scene with the baby orbiting round the Earth.

And Eugene Lair's reference in his answer is to some of the music for the film "Also sprach Zarathustra".
