The Last Hurrah is a comedy filmed in a single continuous shot. Set at a graduation party in Los Angeles, an eclectic group of brainy philosophy students, train-hopping hippies, aspiring prophets and drug-addled hipsters come together for one wild night. At the eye of the storm are three best friends, all with the same problem - women. Jason can't get enough of them, Steve can't let go of the one he's got and Will can't understand them at all. The brainy grad students will have to work through their issues fast, because tonight's house party is their last crack at the women of the philosophy department. In the spirit of Richard Linklater and Woody Allen, The Last Hurrah is a smart, witty, ensemble-driven comedy that wonders if the over examined life is really worth living.

Added to the mayhem is the vampish Angela Hoffa, who puts the moves on Harry, a small town lothario and beat poet and an oversexed group of teenagers led by Comfort Goodpasture.

A fierce personal drama adapted by James Goldman from his play of Britain's Henry II deliberating over a successor on a fateful Christmas Eve. Having been accustomed to his wife's long exile to a faraway castle, King Henry (Peter O'Toole) takes a step in reuniting his family, however hoping to maintain a stronghold on his Empire and prevent the balance of power to shifting to his wife, Eleanor, or to one of his sons. Despite Henry's efforts to keep his wife at arm-(and throne’s)-length, Eleanor will assure that her power will not only be restored, but that it will last long past her own passing. Also starring Katharine Hepburn, Anthony Hopkins (in his feature debut), John Castle, Nigel Terry, Jane Merrow, and Timothy Dalton. Directed by Anthony Harvey.

Based on an actual Civil War incident, The Horse Soldiers tells the rousing tale of a troop of Union soldiers who force their way deep into Southern territory to destroy a rebel stronghold at Newton Station. In command is hardbitten Colonel Marlowe (Wayne), a man who is strikingly contrasted by the company's gentle surgeon (Holden) and the beautiful but crafty Southern belle (Constance Towers) who's forced to accompany the Union raiders on perhaps the most harrowing mission in the war.

Ranking with Stagecoach as one of the greatest of its genre, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is the modern-day western to beat all westerns. John Ford, whose very name is synonymous with " westerns," directed the ideal cast. Jimmy Stewart plays the bungling but charming big-city lawyer determined to rid the fair village of Shinbone of its number one nuisance and bad man: Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin). And as if all that weren't enough, the biggest star that ever aimed a six-shooter plays the Man of the title: John Wayne. Super sincere Stewart and rugged rancher Wayne also share the same love interest (Vera Miles). One gets the gunman, but the other gets the gal.
