When the mayor decides that the doors of the police academy be open to any and all, the applicants swarm forth like hordes of losers in a colorful assortment of nonregulation sizes, shapes and eccentricities. director: Hugh Wilson; Stars Kim Cattrall, George Gaynes, Steve Guttenberg, Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow, G. W. Bailey, Kim Cattrall, David Graf, Leslie Easterbrook, Marion Ramsey, Don Lake. A big city mayor-elect, eager to make good on a campaign promise to increase-the-peace, waives entry requirements for the police force. The result: mishap, mayhem and mismanagement, as the force is flooded with bumbling buffoons, idealistic idiots, and quixotic quipsters. The crooks never had it so good. Police Academy Reviews: "...A rude, crude, noisy, sometimes disarmingly funny, liberated-sexist low comedy....A lot of extremely good comic actors..."
-- Vincent Canby, New York Times "...David Graf is solid....Guttenberg is a likeable rogue..."

Another John Carpenter cult classic, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK was one of the best entries in the once popular post-apocalyptic genre which included ROAD WARRIOR and THE TERMINATOR. In 1997, the island of Manhattan has been turned into the world's largest maximum security prison, a place where the worst of humanity is sent to rot. The U.S. Government finds itself in a major crisis when the president's plane crash lands in New York only days before a vital peace summit between major warring nations is to take place. The president survives the crash, but is taken hostage by the denizens of Manhattan and held for ransom. Only war hero turned felon Snake Plissken can save the day, and he is offered a simple deal for his work: save the president and live, fail to save him and die. The one-eyed bandit sets to work, cutting a path of destruction to the president that has to be seen to be believed. Kurt Russell creates the indelible character of Snake Plissken as no other actor could have. Wisecracking and cool under the very worst of pressures, Snake is the ultimate bad good guy. Often copied, but never duplicated, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK is full of the wit, energy and action that marks a John Carpenter picture.
John Carpenter's thrilling landmark film that jolts along at a breakneck pace. Features high-octane action, edge-of-your seat suspense and a mind-blowing vision of lone warrior Snake Plissken battling his way out of a post-apocalyptic Manhattan. Stars Kurt Russel. 2-disc Digipack; disc two including bonus features, such as the deleted Opening Sequence, a featurette, making of Carpenter's "Snake Plissken Chronicles" comic, interactive features an exclusive Special edition of the comic, lots more.

The annoying antics of a hyperactive con artist (John Leguizamo) draw the ire of an eccentric huntsman. Soon, life for the pesky bugger becomes a less-than-delicate balance between staying alive and extermination. A gut-busting variation on the classic, oft-filmed story THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME.

This epic chronicle of the seven pilots chosen to become astronauts for Project Mercury is based on the novel by Tom Wolfe. Deep in the desert during the 1950s, army test pilots courageously fought to break the sound barrier. These maverick men would stop at nothing to achieve winning speed. Led by their champion, Chuck Yeager (Sam Shepard), they caroused at the local watering hole while sharing tales of extreme sport and bravery--until the Russians successfully sent their Sputnik satellite into the skies, and the United States government panicked, quickly launching a space program of its own. In an effort to find the right men for the job, the government searched the desert and the seas, compiling a crew of daredevil space cowboys willing to do anything for the chance to represent America in the space race. After grueling medical, physical, and psychological tests, seven men were left standing, led by American hero John Glenn (Ed Harris), test pilots Gordon Cooper (Dennis Quaid), Gus Grissom (Fred Ward), and Scott Carpenter (Charles Frank), and Navy man Alan Shepard (Scott Glenn). With the help of the media and the government, these men became overnight heroes, sacrificing their freedom and their families for the dream of space travel. This piercing exploration of the men and wives behind the mission serves as a testament to the determination of America to dominate the field of space exploration, while offering an intriguing portrait of a period in which America wanted to believe in perfect men and their perfect wives, even if the reality was vastly more complex. Philip Kaufman's gripping film also features fabulous special effects and stunning aerial cinematography.

Police Academy review
$57.35 
Part of the "Masterpiece Theatre" series, THE FIRST CHURCHILLS is a highly dramatic series based around factual accounts from Sir Winston Churchill concerning his ancestors John (played here by John Neville) and Sarah Churchill (Susan Hampshire). John was a legendary military figure who worked his way up to become a General in the English army. Sarah worked within the legal system, and was widely known for her intelligence and beauty. Sir Winston Churchill published an exhaustive tomb on the couple, and it is on those words that this adaptation is based. Charming and charismatic, John and Sarah prove there was more to the family than the achievements of future Prime Minister Sir Winston. This release contains the 12 part series in full.

GLORY recounts the bravery of a group of Civil War soldiers often overlooked by history--the 54th Regiment of Massachusetts, a troop of free black men who fought to help win liberty for their enslaved brothers. Based on the historical novels ONE GALLANT RUSH by Peter Burchand and LAY THIS LAUREL by Lincoln Kirstein and the letters of Robert Gould Shaw, the film follows the youthful Colonel Shaw (Matthew Broderick) as he takes responsibility for readying these soldiers for battle. Shaw, a privileged young Boston Brahman, finds the job harder than expected because many of the men balk at taking orders from him. Private Trip (Denzel Washington) is especially resistant to Shaw's leadership, but over time the two come to an understanding as they endure the hardships of the war. On July 18, 1863, Shaw volunteers the 54th for the honor of leading the charge against Ft. Wagner, a mission that means almost certain death, with Trip carrying the regiment's colors into battle. This gritty and realistic vision of the horrors of war is a moving and critical examination of a lost piece of history. Beautifully shot and triumphantly acted (by a cast that also includes Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes, and Andre Braugher), director Edward Zwick's film serves as a tribute to the courage and selfless bravery of the black soldiers of the Civil War.
