In late March of 1984, a moving company secretly packed up the Baltimore Colts' belongings and its fleet of vans snuck off in the darkness of the early morning.

Academy-award winning filmmaker Barry Levinson (Diner, The Natural), himself a long-standing Baltimore Colts fanatic, will probe that question in light of the changing relationship of sports to community. Through the eyes of members of the Colts Marching Band, Levinson will illustrate how a fan base copes with losing the team that it loves. watch

It's a crime what Jimmy Alto will do to get a break. Oscar winner Joe Pesci and Christian Slater are at their finest in this wildly funny look at Hollywood from acclaimed director Barry Levinson (Analyze That, Rain Man). Struggling actor Jimmy Alto (Pesci) can't get arrested. But the criminals that terrorize his neighborhood are making a killing. So Jimmy makes a bold career move. With the help of his loyal but spaced-out best friend (Slater), Jimmy transforms himself into "Jericho," leader of a mock-vigilante group that videotapes criminals and then turns them over to the police. It's the role of a lifetime, but when Jimmy gets caught in a crossfire between the cops and the crooks, it looks like it could be his last. watch
