Buster Keaton's 1927 The General. It cost $400,000 ($6.5 million today) and could be done in only one take.

This film is great with a techno mix playing in the background instead of the orchestral music that is typically put behind silent films. Maybe even dubstep.

I should have read the title first. After watching the gif, I was wondering how that bridge was ever supposed to hold up that train.
