"It Happened One Night" (105 minutes) Not Rated
Directed by Frank Capra, "It Happened One Night' has Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert teaming up for laughs as mismatched lovers in this 1934 screwball comedy classic. Spoiled Ellie Andrews (Colbert) escapes from her millionaire father (Walter Connolly), who wants to stop her from marrying a worthless playboy. En route to New York City, Ellie gets involved with an out-of-work newsman, Peter Warne (Gable). When their bus breaks down, the bickering couple set off on a madcap hitchhiking expedition. Complications fly when the runaway heiress and brash reporter fall in love. The film was the first to be honored with all five major Oscars®: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Screenplay.

Private Prewitt (Montgomery Clift) is a soldier and former boxer being manipulated by his superior and peers. His friend Maggio (Frank Sinatra) tries to help him but has his own troubles. Sergeant Warder (Burt Lancaster) and Karen Holmes (Deborah Kerr) tread on dangerous ground as lovers in an illicit affair. Each of their lives will be changed when their stories culminate in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

"To Sir, With Love" (105 minutes) Not Rated
In "To Sir, With Love" (1967), a novice teacher faces a class of rowdy, undisciplined working-class punks. The film reflected some of the problems and fears of teens in the 1960s. Sidney Poitier gives on of his finest performances as Mark Thackeray, an out-of-work engineer who turns to teaching in London's tough East End. The graduating class, led by Denham (Christian Roberts), Pamela (Judy Geeson) and Barbara (Lulu), sets out to destroy Thackeray as they did his predecessor by breaking his spirit. But Thackaray, no stranger to hostility, meets the challenge by treating his students as young adults who will soon enter a work force where they must stand or fall on their own.
"The Last Picture Show" (118 minutes) Rated R
Released in 1971, Director Peter Bogdanovich's "The Last Picture Show' garnered eight Academy Award® nominations, including Best Picture. The film is a frank, bittersweet drama of social and sexual mores in small-town Texas. The film features a talent-laden cast led by Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepard and Timothy Bottoms. Cloris Leachman and Ben Johnson each won Oscars® for their work in supporting roles,

Will Miss Hannigan's zany attempts to kidnap the irrepressible Annie succeed?
"As Good As It Gets" (139 minutes) Rated PG-13
Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, Greg Kinnear and Cuba Gooding, Jr. star in James L. Brooks' comedy, "As Good As It Gets," now celebrating its 25th anniversary.
