James Foley’s slick thriller is told in flashback by Jake Vig (Edward Burns) who, with his team, pulls off a scam against accountant Lionel Dolby (Leland Orser). Unfortunately, Dolby happens to do the books for unstable mob boss Winston King (Dustin Hoffman), and the only way out is to pull off a bigger and more dangerous scam against King’s rivals.
Thirty-six hours in the life of a disparate group of Los Angelinos linked together by a car crash.
The debut film from Million Dollar Baby screenwriter Paul Haggis is a bold effort that initially attempts to tackle the issue of racial conflict in a refreshingly unstinting way for a mainstream film.
David Duchovny and Julianne Moore combat a rapidly developing alien threat in director-producer Ivan Reitman's sporadically funny melding of his own Ghostbusters formula with the 50s B-movie genre.
Tom Hanks' slow-witted hero of this light-hearted American parable unintentionally finds himself amid the great events of three decades of modern history.

Futuristic thriller starring Will Smith as a troubled cop whose issues with the ever-increasing robot population are seemingly vindicated when one of them becomes a murder suspect.
Nick Cassavetes' thriller stars Denzel Washington, who discovers his son needs a heart transplant but also that his health insurance won't cover the operation; and hospital administrator Anne Heche is demanding cash up front. In despair and anger, he hijacks the hospital ER, demanding his son be saved even if he has to donate his own heart for him to live.
Tim Burton’s rollicking adaptation of Washington Irving’s tale stars Johnny Depp as Constable Ichabod Crane, sent to the tiny village of Sleepy Hollow where a headless horseman is leaving a trail of decapitated bodies. Crane believes in the science of detection but will his skills solve the mystery, or is there really a supernatural explanation? Stunningly realised and shot, the film also stars Christina Ricci, Miranda Richardson and Michael Gambon.
Gael García Bernal and Rodrigo De La Serna star in Walter Salles stunning adaptation of Che Guevara's journals written while travelling in South America in 1952.
