Camelot (1967)

The story of the marriage of England's King Arthur to Guinevere is played out amid the pagentry of Camelot. The plot of illegitimate Modred to gain the throne and Guinevere's growing attachment to Sir Lancelot, whom she at first abhors, threaten to topple Arthur and destroy his "round table" of knights who would use their might for right.

Joshua Logan's 1967 film of the hit Broadway musical about the love triangle between King Arthur (Richard Harris), Guenevere (Vanessa Redgrave), and Sir Lancelot (Franco Nero) is strong on star emphasis and weak on such fundamentals as story and sets. Except for a handful of solidly dramatic scenes--such as Guenevere grieving, late in the film, for the ruination she and Lancelot have caused--there's not a lot to get excited about. (The story's theme of a lost, great society, however, certainly struck a chord in the 1960s.) The Lerner-Loewe songs ("If Ever I Would Leave You," "Camelot") pretty much sell themselves, even if they are, at best, only proficiently performed in this movie.

An Inconvenient Truth (2006)

Starring: Al Gore, Billy West Director: Davis Guggenheim

A documentary on Al Gore's campaign to make the issue of global warming a recognized problem worldwide.

Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Mr. Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way. "Al Gore strips his presentations of politics, laying out the facts for the audience to draw their own conclusions in a charming, funny and engaging style, and by the end has everyone on the edge of their seats, gripped by his haunting message," said Guggenheim. An Inconvenient Truth is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry to protect the one earth we all share. "It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly, and wisely," said Gore.

Longitude – Volume 1

Following a series of particularly disastrous shipwrecks in 1714, the British Parliament’s astonishing offer of 20,000 pounds for a method of finding longitude at sea sparks a wild race to claim the prize. But when a self-educated, rural clock-maker named John Harrison seems to be closing in on the solution, England’s scientific upper-classes close ranks against him—including forces within the British Navy.

Nearly 200 years later, naval officer Rupert Gould (Jeremy Irons) rediscovers Harrison’s timepieces—and begins his own remarkable, life-long campaign to restore them to their former glory. Gould begins his restoration work, and is continually astounded by the complexity and ingenuity of Harrison’s craftsmanship and intuitive scientific ability. A ware veteran—whose front line experiences led to a mental breakdown, Gould finds that his work on the clocks brings a much-needed sense of purpose and discipline to his world. But as his family life suffers from his growing fascination with the clocks, he learns that his obsession carries a price.

Longitude – Volume 2

Twenty years after the first, inconclusive test voyage of his marine timepiece, John Harrison is now joined in his efforts by his sone William (Ian Hart). Finally prepared to prove once and for all that their clock is the ultimate solution to the longitude puzzle, John puts William on a ship bound for Jamaica, where he will test their newest timepiece in direct competition with their chief rival. Meanwhile Rupert Gould is close to finishing his work on the Harrison chronometers—until mental breakdowns threaten everything he has accomplished as well as his wife and job. For Harrison himself, however, the long-sought answer to the longitude question seems to at last be within reach, as he approaches the Longitude Board with the final version of the clock he believes will win the coveted prize. But when the board’s inner circle continues to conspire against him, Harrison has just one desperate option left.

Now, while Rupert Gould struggles to regain control of his life—and to regain access to the clocks that mean so much to him—Harrison brings his cause before the King of England himself. As both Gould and Harrison enter the final, fateful stages of their mutual life-long quests, the extraordinary story of Longitude builds to the powerful conclusion of one of the most extraordinary odysseys in the history of science.

In Mexico City, a former assassin swears vengeance on those who committed an unspeakable act against the family he was hired to protect.

A wave of kidnappings has swept through Mexico, feeding a growing sense of panic among its wealthier citizens, especially parents. In one six-day period, there were twenty-four abductions, leading many to hire bodyguards for their children. Into this world enters John Creasy, a burned-out ex-CIA operative/assassin, who has given up on life. Creasy's friend Rayburn brings him to Mexico City to be a bodyguard to nine-year-old Pita Ramos, daughter of industrialist Samuel Ramos and his wife Lisa.

But slowly, she chips away at his seemingly impenetrable exterior, his defenses drop, and he opens up to her. Creasy's new-found purpose in life is shattered when Pita is kidnapped. Despite being seriously wounded during the kidnapping, he vows to kill anyone involved in or profiting from the kidnapping. And no one can stop him.

Master and Commander (2003)

Starring: Russell Crowe, Paul Bettany Director: Peter Weir

During the Napoleonic Wars, a brash British captain pushes his ship and crew to their limits in pursuit of a formidable French war vessel around South America.

During the Napoleonic Wars, a British frigate, HMS Surprise, and a much larger French warship, the Acheron, with greater fire power, stalk each other off of the coast of South America. Russell Crowe brings great intensity to the role of Captain Jack Aubrey. Lucky Jack, as he is referred to by his crew, is well regarded by his men, who trust him implicitly, even after the first devastating battle and an apparent personal vendetta against the French captain. While the naval battle sequences are quite fantastic, the film is successful because director Weir chose to build the story to get to know the men who are locked aboard the tight quarters of a small ship and how they interact everyday. The officers and the mates are well-known by the time the final battle comes. Paul Bettany offers a strong performance as the surgeon and naturalist who balances the violence of his chosen life with the quiet demeanor of the scientist. He is the captain's friend and confidant, the two frequently playing violin and cello duets together. The horrors of the injuries from the war are frequently implied, but vividly depicted in the reactions of the characters

Ray (2003)

Starring: Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington Director: Taylor Hackford

The life and career of the legendary popular music pianist, Ray Charles.

Ray Charles has the distinction of being both a national treasure and an international phenomenon. By the early 1960's Ray Charles had accomplished his dream. He'd come of age musically. He'd made it to Carnegie Hall. The hit records "Georgia," "Born to Lose" successively kept climbing to the top of the charts. He'd made his first triumphant European concert tour in 1960 (a feat which, except for 1965, he's repeated at least once a year ever since). He had taken virtually every form of popular music and broken through its boundaries with such awe inspiring achievements as the LP's "Genius Plus Soul Equals Jazz" and "Modern Sounds in Country & Western." Rhythm & blues (or "race music" as it had been called) became universally respectable through his efforts. Jazz found a mainstream audience it had never previously enjoyed. And country & western music began to chart an unexpected course to general acceptance, then worldwide popularity. And along the way Ray Charles was instrumental in the invention of rock & roll.

Jamie Foxx (Any Given Sunday, Ali) is Ray Charles in this high-energy portrait of an exceptional man who has become an American icon. Born in a poor African American town in central Florida, Ray Charles went blind at the age of 7. With the staunch support of his determined single mother, he developed the fierce resolve, wit and incredible talent that would eventually enable him to overcome not only Jim Crow Racism and the cruel prejudices against the blind, but also discover his own sound which revolutionized American popular music. Nonetheless, as Ray's unprecedented fame grew, so did his weakness for drugs and women, until they threatened to strip away the very things he held most dear. This little known story of Ray Charles' meteoric rise from humble beginnings, his successful struggle to excel in a sighted world and his eventual defeat of his own personal demons make for an inspiring and unforgettable true story of human triumph.

Robin Hood, Men in Tights (1993)

1993. Starring: Cary Elwes, Richard Lewis Director: Mel Brooks

sThe standard story of Robin Hood: Evil Prince John is oppressing the people while good King Richard is away on the Crusades. Robin steals from the tax collectors, wins an archery contest, defeats the Sheriff, and rescues Maid Marian. In this version, however, Mel Brooks adds his own personal touch, parodying traditional adventure films, romance films, and the whole idea of men running around the woods in tights.

Star Wars (Original) Trilogy

A New Hope (1977)

The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

Return of the Jedi (1983)

The Star Wars Trilogy had the rare distinction of becoming a cultural phenomenon, a defining event for its generation. On its surface, George Lucas's story is a rollicking and humorous space fantasy that owes debts to more influences than one can count on two hands, but filmgoers became entranced by its basic struggle of good vs. evil "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away," its dazzling special effects, and a mythology of Jedi knights, the Force, and droids. Over the course of three films--A New Hope (1977), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Return of the Jedi (1983)--Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), and the roguish Han Solo (Harrison Ford) join the Rebel alliance in a galactic war against the Empire, the menacing Darth Vader (David Prowse, voiced by James Earl Jones), and eventually the all-powerful Emperor (Ian McDiarmid).

Who Killed the Electric Car? (2006)

Starring: Ed Begley Jr., Phyllis Diller Director: Chris Paine

A documentary that investigates the birth and death of the electric car, as well as the role of renewable energy and sustainable living in the future.

With gasoline prices approaching $4/gallon, fossil fuel shortages, unrest in oil producing regions around the globe and mainstream consumer adoption and adoption of the hybrid electric car (more than 140,000 Prius' sold this year), this story couldn't be more relevant or important. The foremost goal in making this movie is to educate and enlighten audiences with the story of this car, its place in history and in the larger story of our car culture and how it enables our continuing addiction to foreign oil. This is an important film with an important message that not only calls to task the officials who squelched the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, but all of the other accomplices, government, the car companies, Big Oil, even Eco-darling Hydrogen as well as consumers, who turned their backs on the car and embrace embracing instead the SUV. Our documentary investigates the death and resurrection of the electric car, as well as the role of renewable energy and sustainable living in our country's future; issues which affect everyone from progressive liberals to the neo-conservative right.
