Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson defined a generation by virtue of their performances in this remarkable film. Easy Rider begins with two guys (Hopper and Fonda) in the '60s who - having just closed a successful drug deal - decide to take a road trip to New Orleans. Full of enthusiasm for the open road, the two run across a wide assortment of characters who judge them, positively or negatively, almost entirely on the way they dress. By the time they meet up with an alcoholic attorney (Nicholson), things have begun to take a turn for the unusual. An acid-fuelled drug trip and several brutal encounters cement their fate. Still provocative by today's standards, this flick is a must for anyone looking for the quintessential movie of the era.

When an innocent man is sentenced to life in prison for murder, he thinks his life is over. However, despite years of brutal incarceration, his indomitable spirit makes him an inspiration to everyone he encounters.

A slice of life tale set in a small, fading, Texas burg during the 1950s. By delving into the intertwining lives of the diverse residents, the film manages to explore issues of love, loneliness, innocence lost and disillusionment. The closing of the town's only cinema serves as both a physical and metaphorical backdrop to the characters' lives.

Pike Bishop is the leader of a small clan of outlaws confronting the closing American frontier. The year is 1913 and the prairie crew, disguised as US soldiers, ride into a dusty Texas town and rob the railway office. A bloodbath ensues with innocent people caught in the crossfire. The gang leaves town but the railroad boss' hired gunmen pursue them. Escaping to Mexico, the posse joins forces with the merciless anti-revolutionary dictator Mapache, agreeing to hijack a US ammunitions train. When Mapache double-crosses them and tortures youngest group member Angel upon discovering he's a revolutionary, the gang is caught between bounty hunters and Mapache's troops.

Steven Spielberg instantaneously redefined the standards of excellence and realism in war films with Saving Private Ryan. The film tells a story of perseverance and pain set against the backdrop of brutality and inhumanity that was the Second World War. Following D-Day, Tom Hanks leads a group of soldiers on a recovery mission to find a missing private caught behind enemy lines. The journey goes well beyond a simple mission however, and by film's end, viewers will be filled with dozens of conflicting feelings about the idea and reality of war. This special DVD edition features exclusive footage, not to mention an interview with Spielberg.

From the Studio:

Schindler's List, a Steven Spielberg film, is a cinematic masterpiece that has become one of the most honored films of all time. Winner of seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, it also won every major Best Picture award and an exceptional number of additional honors. Among them were seven British Academy Awards; the Best Picture Awards from the New York Film Critics Circle, the National Society of Film Critics, the National Board of Review, the Producers Guild, the Los Angeles Film Critics, the Chicago, Boston and Dallas Film Critics; a Christopher Award; and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Golden Globe Awards. Steven Spielberg was further honored with the Directors Guild of America Award.

The film presents the indelible true story of the enigmatic Oskar Schindler, a member of the Nazi party, womanizer, and war profiteer who saved the lives of more than 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust. It is the triumph of one man who made a difference, and the drama of those who survived one of the darkest chapters in human history because of what he did.

 

The classic tale of predator vs. prey goes awry in this historical thriller starring Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas. In The Ghost And the Darkness Col. Patterson (Kilmer) has the daunting task of building an empire-expanding bridge, but when construction lags, due to man-eating lions, his duties instantly double. Enter American game hunter Charles Remington (Douglas) to assist in the hunt. Between the two of them they should be able to take out a couple of lions - but these aren't ordinary lions. The unnerving suspense is reminiscent of Jaws, calling into question the identity of the true hunters.
