'Plain arithmetic. Money splits better two ways instead of three,' smooth-talking outlaw Ben Vandergroat reasons to his captors, three bounty hunters thrown together by chance. They're taking him to justice in Abilene, but Ben has other ideas. If he can set the men against each other ? play on their greed, their fears, their vanities ? he may be able to make his break to freedom. In the third of his five landmark Anthony Mann-directed westerns, James Stewart stars as the relentless leader of bounty hunters caught in the snare of the hunted (Robert Ryan). Tough, sweating with tension, and towering as tall as its breathtaking Colorado Rockies setting, The Naked Spur is simply 'one of the best Westerns ever made' (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide). Year: 1953 Director: Anthony Mann Starring: James Stewart, Janet Leigh, Robert Ryan, Ralph Meeker, Millard Mitchell

'Undeniably exciting' is what Leonard Maltin calls this pioneering film that kicked off the entire 'blaxploitation' action film genre of the 1970s. When you're born, raised and trapped in the ghetto, you want to get out any way you can -- in this case, it's a Harlem drug dealer trying to set up a retirement fund before he quits the business for good. Directed by Gordon Parks, Jr. ('The Learning Tree'), and featuring the classic score by legendary Curtis Mayfield

Winner of seven Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director, the unforgettable classic Going My Way lights up the screen as it warms the heart. Best Actor winner Bing Crosby shines as Father O'Malley, a young priest new to an established but financially flailing parish.

Featuring mesmerizing music including the Academy Award -winning song 'Swinging on a Star,' Going My Way exemplifies the silver screen at its golden best! '****! Hard to resist!' (Leonard Maltin)

One of the most influential movies of all time, the original Scarface is an exciting story of organized crime's brutal control over Chicago during the Prohibition era.

Produced by the legendary Howard Hughes and directed by Howard Hawks, this compelling tale of ambition, betrayal and revenge is a groundbreaking masterpiece that influenced all gangster films to follow. Filmed during the 'pre-code' era before censorship shaped the way movies were made, 'this powerful gangster film is the most potent of the 1930s' (Leonard Maltin's Classic Movie Guide).
