{{Main|Lists of Paramount Pictures films}}
A few years after the ruling of the ''[[United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc.]]'' case in 1948, Music Corporation of America ([[MCA Inc.|MCA]]) approached Paramount offering $50&nbsp;million for 750 sound feature films released prior to December 1, 1949, with payment to be spread over a period of several years. Paramount saw this as a bargain since the fleeting movie studio saw very little value in its library of old films at the time. To address any antitrust concerns, MCA set up [[EMKA, Ltd.]] as a dummy corporation to sell these films to television. EMKA's/Universal Television's library includes the five Paramount [[Marx Brothers]] films, most of the Bob Hope–Bing Crosby ''[[Road to...]]'' pictures, and other classics such as ''[[Trouble in Paradise (1932 film)|Trouble in Paradise]]'', ''[[Shanghai Express (film)|Shanghai Express]]'', ''[[She Done Him Wrong]]'', ''[[Sullivan's Travels]]'', ''[[The Palm Beach Story]]'', ''[[For Whom the Bell Tolls (film)|For Whom the Bell Tolls]]'', ''[[Double Indemnity]]'', ''[[The Lost Weekend (film)|The Lost Weekend]]'', and ''[[The Heiress]]''.

The studio has produced many critically acclaimed films such as<!--[[Wikipedia:Overlistification#Trivia and trivial lists|By this point forward, no more examples, this is way too much.]]--> ''[[Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic]]'', ''[[Footloose (1984 film)|Footloose]]'', ''[[Breakfast at Tiffany's (film)|Breakfast at Tiffany's]]'', ''[[Braveheart]]'', ''[[Ghost (1990 film)|Ghost]]'', ''[[The Truman Show]]'', ''[[Mean Girls]]'', ''[[Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]'', ''[[Rocketman (film)|Rocketman]]'', ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off]]'', ''[[The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (film)|The Curious Case of Benjamin Button]]'', ''[[Days of Thunder]]'', ''[[Rosemary's Baby (film)|Rosemary's Baby]]'', ''[[Sunset Boulevard (1950 film)|Sunset Boulevard]]'', ''[[Forrest Gump (film)|Forrest Gump]]'', ''[[Coming to America]]'', ''[[World War Z (film)|World War Z]]'', ''[[Babel (film)|Babel]]'', ''[[The Conversation (film)|The Conversation]]'', ''[[The Fighter (2010 film)|The Fighter]]'', ''[[Interstellar (film)|Interstellar]]'', ''[[Terms of Endearment]]'', ''[[The Wolf of Wall Street (2013 film)|The Wolf of Wall Street]]'' and ''[[A Quiet Place (film)|A Quiet Place]]''; as well as the ''[[The Godfather (film series)|Godfather]]'', ''[[Star Trek]]'', and ''[[Mission: Impossible (film series)|Mission: Impossible]]'' film series. <!-- Do not add any more examples! -->
