As nervy as it is hilarious, this screwball masterpiece from Ernst Lubitsch stars Jack Benny and, in her final screen appearance, Carole Lombard as husband-and-wife thespians in Nazi-occupied Warsaw who become caught up in a dangerous spy plot. To Be or Not to Be is a Hollywood film of the boldest black humor, which went into production soon after the U.S. entered World War II. Lubitsch manages to brilliantly balance political satire, romance, slapstick, and urgent wartime suspense in a comic high-wire act that has never been equaled.

Despite their deserved reputation as fearsome hunters, African crocodiles are surprisingly vulnerable prey. This 50-minute entry into the National Geographic canon chronicles the lives of these 16-foot long, 1-ton beasts that Africans call "the animal that kills while smiling." When not taking down unsuspecting wildebeests come to quench their thirst on the banks of the Grumeti River in Tanzania, the female crocodiles spend a good part of their year nurturing first their eggs and then their young

Osamu Minorikawa, screenwriter and documentary filmmaker, makes his feature debut in the form of an emminently visual cine-poem, that distances itself from the narrative imperatives of dramatic fiction to concentrate on atmospheres, image and sound. The film is made up of five episodes drawn from everyday life: the meditations of a 38-year-old single woman who works as a nude model in an artists’ studio, the life of an elderly alcoholic in Osaka, a young couple making love, the story of an astronomer and his pregnant partner and the reflections of a younger single woman who speculates on the ungraspable ‘somethings’ present in daily life. The film’s cast, headed by Ryuhei Matsuda (Big Bang Love Juvenile A), lend an exquisite tone to each of the five episodes which, despite their routine nature, capture those brief moments and small details that normally go unnoticed from day to day.

The film chronicles the adventures of a Polish theater company before and during Nazi occupation, especially those of the resident ham, Josef Tura, and his wife, Maria. The film opens with the seemingly impossible appearance of Adolf Hitler in Warsaw before the 1939 invasion. We discover this is a local actor…

They Might be Giants chronicles the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in modern-day New York City. The fact that Sherlock Holmes is a psychotic paranoid and Dr. Watson is a female psychiatrist fascinated by his case is almost beside the point. Dr. Watson follows Holmes across Manhattan and is, against her better judgment, drawn into the master detective's world of intrigue and danger. This is a sweet, goofy and fairly romantic film that asks the questions "Whose reality is right…and does it really matter?"

In occupied Poland during WWII, a troupe of ham stage actors (led by Joseph Tura and his wife Maria) match wits with the Nazis. A spy has information which would be very damaging to the Polish resistance and they must prevent it's being delivered to the Germans.
