"There are instances where a director makes a creative decision not to completely mask the artifice in cinema. We, the audience and the characters in the movie are both are made aware of the illusion of the art, as the director breaks down the fourth wall. To put it simply, the characters know that they are fictitious and the audience is made aware that they are only watching a movie. Sometimes, it is done so that the character can talk directly to the audience; sometimes it is done to make a subtle allusion as to the artifice of the work. Either way, it is not easy to pull off a breaking-the-fourth-wall moment, because it can easily backfire and feel gimmicky. But when executed well, it is a stroke of genius which can leave the audience dumbstruck. Here is the list of top movies which breaks the fourth wall." - thecinemaholic.com
