Hitchcock 125 In one of Hitchcock’s crowning achievements, the master of suspense utilizes all of his technical and storytelling acumen in the realization of this gripping thriller.

Crashing into the ‘60s Few changes were made from William Gibson's play on blind, deaf Helen Keller (Patty Duke) and her remarkable teacher, Anne Sullivan (Anne Bancroft).

Wake Up!: The Cinema of Spike Lee Five years after burning down Brooklyn in the ferocious conclusion to Do the Right Thing, Lee returns for a gentler, semi-autobiographical account of life in the Bed-Stuy neighborhood circa 1973 as seen through the eyes of a young girl (Zelda Harris) and her four raucous brothers raised by a jazz musician father and a strong-willed mother.

Crashing into the 60s Peter O’Toole, Anthony Quinn, Alec Guinness, and Omar Sharif star in the epic film of a lifetime.
