Johnny Got His Gun -- After a shell leaves his body mangled on the final day of World War I, young Joe Bonham lies trapped in a hospital bed.

"I Don't Know Whether I'm Alive And Dreaming Or Dead And Remembering." —Joe Bonham. After a shell leaves his body mangled on the final day of World War I, young Joe Bonham (Timothy Bottoms) lies trapped in a hospital bed; a fully conscious quadruple amputee who cannot speak, hear or see, left to wander within his own mind between his harsh reality and memories of a happier life long gone. Written and directed by Dalton Trumbo, the "Hollywood Ten's" most celebrated screenwriter (Spartacus, Exodus, Roman Holiday), Johnny Got His Gun is based on his award-winning 1939 antiwar novel, which earned a new generation of fans during the Vietnam era. The film — which costars Jason Robards and features Donald Sutherland in a powerful performance as Jesus Christ — won the 1971 Cannes Film Festival's Grand Prix Spécial du Jury. Newly remastered from the original 35mm negative is the moving, provocative and masterfully crafted cult film that takes you through the mind of a man lost somewhere on the edges of sanity and insanity, life and death.

Repressed desires, sultry women, sweltering weather and a handsome new stranger in town... this is playwright Tennessee Williams at his very best. Depression-era Dodson, Mississippi, is particularly devastated with the arrival of Owen Legate (Robert Redford), a railroad official with a pocketful of pink slips for the rail yard employees. Natalie Wood is captivating as Alva Starr, the coquettish town flirt with plenty of big plans but nowhere to go... until Legate appears on her doorstep. Their ensuing affair enrages Alva's distant, uncaring mother (Kate Reid)—and ignites a town's revenge. Masterfully directed by Sydney Pollack (The Way We Were, Out of Africa, The Firm) and co-written for the screen by Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather trilogy), This Property Is Condemned sizzles with unbridled passion and fiery emotion.

Redneck police force lords over a middle American community, regularly terrorizing and assaulting black citizens. Fred Williamson arrives in town to bury his brother (a victim of police brutality) and stays to try and right the injustice.

After traveling to a small Southern town for his murdered brother's funeral, Duke (Fred Williamson) and his girlfriend, Aretha (Pam Grier), decide to reopen the dead man's nightclub. Problems arise, however, when the crooked local cops try to shake the pair down for money. Duke then calls in his crew of street toughs from the city to fend off the police, setting the stage for this blaxploitation thriller's violent conclusion.
