- DirectorLuis BuñuelStarsIrasema DiliánJorge MistralLilia PradoA partial retelling of Wuthering Heights in 19th century Mexico.Brutal and erotic; arguably the best attempt at a movie version of the story.

- DirectorStanley KramerStarsSpencer TracyMilton BerleEthel MermanA group of motorists witnesses a car crash in the California desert, and after the driver's dying words indicate the location of a hidden stash of loot, they turn against each in a race across the state to get to it.An ambitious and entertaining, if slightly tedious, epic comedy about greed.
- DirectorHal RoachStarsHarold LloydBebe Daniels'Snub' PollardYoung playwright spends his last cent to pay the rent of struggling actress in a theatrical boarding house. Pursuing her, he winds up at a gambling club, where he wins big, just before a police raid.Cute and clever.
- StarsAlfred BurkeVickery TurnerAnn PenfoldDramatized biography of the Brontë sisters Charlotte, Anne and Emily.One of the best documentaries about the Brontes; highly recommended if you're a fan.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsMartin FreemanIan McKellenRichard ArmitageA reluctant Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, sets out to the Lonely Mountain with a spirited group of dwarves to reclaim their mountain home and the gold within it from the dragon Smaug.Needed better pacing and the writing could have been tightened, but alright overall.
- DirectorMelvin FrankNorman PanamaStarsDanny KayeGlynis JohnsBasil RathboneA hapless carnival performer masquerades as the court jester as part of a plot against an evil ruler who has overthrown the rightful King.Clever, joyful spoof of medieval adventure films and a great showcase of Danny Kaye's talent.
- DirectorJoel SchumacherStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerGeorge ClooneyChris O'DonnellBatman and Robin try to keep their relationship together even as they must stop Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy from freezing Gotham City.Garish and ridiculous in the worst possible way.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsTom CruiseMia SaraTim CurryA young man must stop the Lord of Darkness from destroying daylight and marrying the woman he loves.An underrated, dark, and beautiful fairy tale.

- DirectorJohn KahrsStarsJohn KahrsKari WahlgrenJack GoldenbergAn office worker meets the girl of his dreams and uses a fleet of paper airplanes to get her attention.Interesting mesh of traditional and CG animation; also cute and romantic.
- DirectorJohn HustonStarsHumphrey BogartMary AstorGladys GeorgeSan Francisco private detective Sam Spade takes on a case that involves him with three eccentric criminals, a gorgeous liar and their quest for a priceless statuette, with the stakes rising after his partner is murdered.Sleek, superbly acted, and beautifully directed noir; it's a classic for a reason.
- DirectorPaul KafnoStarsFrances BarberChristopher HollisJulian GartsideA noblewoman disguises herself as a young man and falls for her employer, a lovesick count. Unfortunately, the count's beloved falls for the disguised noblewoman and a comedy of unrequited love and mistaken identities ensues.A very melancholy take on the play; the acting is mostly lacking and you can tell it was low budget. You're better off watching another version.
- DirectorArthur PennStarsWarren BeattyFaye DunawayMichael J. PollardBored waitress Bonnie Parker falls in love with an ex-con named Clyde Barrow and together they start a violent crime spree through the country, stealing cars and robbing banks.Groundbreaking and still damned good.
- DirectorBob FosseStarsLiza MinnelliMichael YorkHelmut GriemA female girlie club entertainer in Weimar Republic era Berlin romances two men while the Nazi Party rises to power around them.Excellent drama and fine musical numbers; one of the greatest movie musicals of all time.
- DirectorWalt DisneyStarsVirginia DavisLeon HolmesSpec O'DonnellWhen a ball is accidentally knocked through the window of a neighborhood haunted house, Alice is the only one brave enough to go inside to retrieve it. While she's in there she falls and bumps her head, sending her to a cartoon dreamworld in which she rescues a cat and battles some spirits in a ghost town.Entertaining bit of early Disney.
- DirectorUb IwerksStarsWalt DisneyMickey rides up to a cantina and does a tango with Minnie. When a big cat steals her away, Mickey gives chase, riding a drunken ostrich. At the hideout, Mickey has a swordfight with the cat.Awesome silent short that proves Mickey wasn't always a goody two-shoes.
- DirectorDavid HandWilfred JacksonStarsBilly BletcherPinto ColvigWalt DisneyMickey must save Pluto from a mad doctor's lair.Funny and frightening spoof of 1930s horror.
- DirectorWalt DisneyStarsWalt DisneyMarjorie RalstonA Spanish cantina. The toreador enters, sees the waitress being harassed, and confronts the military/police type doing the harassment. She comes to the bullfight.A step down from The Skeleton Dance and a little gruesome, but only slightly below average really.
