I'm listening to Marriage of Figaro on R3 - which never fails to delight.
Although it's 18th Century, it comes up as very modern - not only with servants running the show, but the real brains of the operation is the young woman. You can see why it was seen as revolutionary.
No guns, no crashes, no explosions - but real excitement (even though I know what's coming next) and actually caring about what happens to people. How many films can you say that about?
