The Bounty

Oscar winners Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson lead a stellar cast that includes Sir Laurence Olivier, Daniel Day-Lewis and Liam Neeson in this action-packed adventure bursting with sensational battles, raging storms and intensity as powerful as the mighty sea itself! Bristling with commanding performances, blazing dialogue and "superb action scenes" (Los Angeles Times) this "spectacular movie" (New York Magazine) is "everything a high-adventure fan could want" (Variety)!

Bonnie And Clyde

Adrift in the Depression-era Southwest, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker embark on a life of crime. They mean no harm. They crave adventure - and each other. Soon we start to love them too. But nothing in film history has prepared us for the cascading violence to follow. Bonnie And Clyde turns brutal. We learn that they can be hurt - and dread they can be killed. Bonnie And Clyde balances itself on a knife-edge of laughter and terror, thanks to vivid title-role performances by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway and superb support from Michael J.

Boiler Room

Seth Davis (Giovanni Ribisi - Saving Private Ryan) runs a small-time casino operation out of his apartment. With his streetwise business smarts, he's recruited to join the city's newest and hottest stock brokerage firm, an aggressive, renegade corporation far from the traditions of Wall Street. Trained by the company's top young Turks, Chris (Vin Diesel - Saving Private Ryan) and Greg (Nicky Katt - A Time To Kill, The Limey), Seth takes quickly to his new job's instant riches and fast-life pleasures. He even gains new favor with his estranged father (Ron Rifkin - L.A. Confidential).

Blade Runner

Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) prowls the steel-and-microchip jungle of 21st-century Los Angeles. He's a Blade Runner stalking genetically made criminal replicants. His assignment: kill them. Their crime: wanting to be human. The story of Blade Runner is familiar to countless fans, but few have seen it like this. Because this is director Ridley Scott's own vision of his sci-fi classic. This new version omits Deckard's voiceover narration, develops in slightly greater detail the romance between Deckard and Rachael (Sean Young) and removes the "uplifting" finale.

Blade

Wesley Snipes stars as the tortured soul - half man, half immortal. Blade sharpens his lethal skills under the guidance of Whistler (Kris Kristofferson), his mentor, guardian and fellow hunter of the night. When the blood-thirsty Immortals' lord, Deacon Frost (Dorff), declares war on the human race, Blade is humanity's last hope for survival. The special edition features multiple audio commentaries and four featurettes, among other fun bits. Most Special Feature: Access any scene in the movie from the original draft of the screenplay.

Big Momma's House

Disguise the limit in this hilarious heavyweight hit that's "bigger than Mrs. Doubtfire, and badder than Tootsie"! (Mike Cidoni, ABC-TV) "Martin Lawrence brings down the house!" (E! Online) as crafty FBI agent Malcolm Turner -- he's willing to go through thick and thin in order to catch an escaped federal prisoner. "Nia Long is captivating" (Checkout.com) as Sherry, the con's sexy former flame -- she might have the skinny on millions in stolen bank loot, and she's headed for Georgia to lay low for a while.

Big

Tom Hanks won raves for his Oscar nominated performance (1988, Best Actor) as a twelve year old boy trapped inside a thirty-year-old body in director Penny Marshall's winning comedy. At a carnival, young Josh Baskin (Hanks) wishes he was big - only to awake the next morning and discover he is! With the help of his friend Billy (Jared Rushton), Josh lands a job at a toy company. There, his inner wisdom enables him to successfully predict what children want to buy, making the awestruck, naïve Josh irresistible to a beautiful ladder climbing colleague (Elizabeth Perkins).

Beverly Hills Cop

While its sequels were formulaic and safe, the first Beverly Hills Cop set out to explore some uncharted territory, and succeeded. A blend of violent action picture and sharp comedy, the film has an excellent director, Martin Brest (Scent of a Woman), who finds some original perspectives on stock scenes (highway chases, police rousts) and hits a gleeful note with Murphy while skewering L.A. culture. Good support from Judge Reinhold and John Ashton as local cops not used to doing things the Detroit way (Murphy's character hails from the Motor City).

Best In Show

S-i-i-i-t. Sta-a-a-a-a-a-y. Laugh! The director of the wonderfully wacky "Waiting for Guffman" and many of that film's stars reunite for a wildly hilarious, blue-ribbon comedic look at dog show participants (and the pooches who love them). Hundreds of eager contestants from across America prepare to take part in what is undoubtedly one of the greatest events of their lives, the prestigious Mayflower Dog Show.

Ben-Hur

A coliseum-sized event! A Jewish nobleman is enslaved but survives to triumph over his Roman tormentors in a furious chariot race. Charlton Heston heads the cast of this winner of 11 Academy Awards, seen in a breathtaking new digital transfer in refurbished digital stereo, now at its lowest-ever and making its long-awaited DVD debut!
