I just realized I haven't posted to this thread since my birthday back in May.... so my very large update since then....
The Life of Emile Zola 
Paul Muni was the king of screen biographies in Hollywood's Golden Era, creating a gallery of great lives. Warner Bros. was the studio most in touch with the common clay, striking a public nerve with films of social protest. These forces of star and humanism converged in a 1937 movie landmark:
The Life of Emile Zola was the studio's first Best Picture Academy Award® winner (10 nominations and three wins*).
This powerful film about the activist French author also won the New York Film Critics Best Picture prize. And Muni won that group's Best Actor honors for his towering portrayal of Zola, France's champion of the oppressed, whose relentless campaign to free the wrongly convicted Captain Dreyfus (Best Supporting Actor Oscar® winner Joseph Schildkraut) will forever shine as "a moment in the conscience of man."
*Additional Award: Best Screenplay; Nominations: Best Actor (Muni), Director (William Dieterle), Assistant Director (Russ Saunders), Interior Decoration, Original Story, Score (Max Steiner) and Sound Recording.
The Jazz Singer Experience film history with THE JAZZ SINGER, the first feature-length film with synchronized dialogue and musical sequences. Broadway superstar Al Jolson stars as Jakie Rabinowitz, the son of a Jewish cantor (Warner Oland). Turning his back on family tradition, Jakie transforms himself into cabaret-entertainer Jack Robin. When Jack comes home to visit his parents, he is warmly greeted by his mother (Eugenie Besserer), but is cold-shouldered by his father, who feels that Jack is a traitor to his heritage by singing jazz music. The movie was an immediate sensation when it opened in 1927 and created a revolution in the history of the motion picture industry, opening the doors to the "talkies."

The Jerk) directed this tale of a family man who takes a vacation from sanity when he takes a lease on a Florida
Summer Rental. Comedy sensation John Candy plays the stressed out air traffic controller who's much-needed family holiday yeilds one hysterical misadventure after another — from settling into his hovel, to settling down on a "party" beach, to settling a score with a nut at sea.
The fun in the sun, and so's the moral: taking it eassy is tougher than landing a 747.
A Few Good Men Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore star in Rob Reiner's unanimously acclaimed drama about the dangerous difference between following orders and following one's conscience. Cruise stars as a brash Navy lawyer who's teamed with a gung-ho litigator (Moore) in a politically explosive murder case. Charged with defending two Marines accused of killing a fellow soldier, they are confronted with complex issues of loyalty and honor—including its most sacred code and its most formidable warrior (Nicholson). Superbly directed with a trio of powerhouse performances and an outstanding supporting cast including Kevin Bacon, Kevin Pollak, and Kiefer Sutherland, A FEW GOOD MEN is "entertainment to be seen and appreciated... consistently gripping" (Desson Howe,

LOOK WHO'S TALKING TOOIn this hilarious sequel to
Look Who's Talking, little Mikey figures he's got it made after uniting his mother (Kirstie Alley) with the dad of his dreams (John Travolta). But instead of family bliss, Mikey gets the biggest surprise of his life - a baby sister.
Bruce Willis returns as the voice of Mikey, while Roseanne Barr's voice delivers baby Julie's delightful wisecracks. Together, these two fast-talking tots face a series of kiddie dilemmas, including the trials of potty training, their parents' marital squabbles, and an inevitable - but very funny - dose of sibling rivalry. As this loving family is about to learn, twice the trouble is also twice the fun!

Tim Robbins plays new inmate Andy, a quiet banker convicted of murders he didn't commit – and whose indomitable will earns Red's respect and friendship. Andy's resourcefulness brings hope and change to the entire prison. He's full of surprises. And the best comes last, leading to one of the most satisfying finales in film history.
Ordinary People An Extraordinary motion picture,
Ordinary People is an intense examination of a family being torn apart by tension and tragedy.

Timothy Hutton is the younger son, struggling against suicide and guilt left by the drowning. Judd Hirsch is the empathetic psychiatrist who provides his lifeline to survival. Mary Tyler Moore gives a riveting portrayal of the inexplicably aloof mother. Robert Redford's achievement as director, after more than twenty years as a superstar in front of the camera, earned him an Oscar®. Superb performances and masterful direction complement the award-winning screenplay, based upon the novel by Judith Guest.
