Amadeus è un film del 1984 diretto da Miloš Forman. Tratta dall'omonima opera teatrale di Peter Shaffer e liberamente ispirata alla vita del compositore Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, la storia parte dal presupposto − prettamente letterario, nella realtà quasi certamente infondato − di un acceso antagonismo tra il giovane musicista salisburghese e il compositore legnaghese Antonio Salieri. Ogni scena è accompagnata da una scelta di capolavori mozartiani, che includono anche intere scene tratte dalle sue opere (Il ratto dal serraglio, Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, Il flauto magico), fino al Requiem, che fa da contrappunto ai momenti finali della vita del compositore. Il film riscosse un grande successo e vinse numerosi premi, tra i quali otto Oscar, quattro Golden Globe, altrettanti BAFTA e tre David di Donatello. Nel 1998 l'American Film Institute l'ha inserito al cinquantatreesimo posto della classifica dei migliori cento film statunitensi di tutti i tempi. Nel 2019 è stato scelto per la conservazione nel National Film Registry della Biblioteca del Congresso degli Stati Uniti.
