La Prisonuiere: From the head of Diabolique comes this ambiguous, bewildered study of a female addicted to a photographer of sadomasochism. This film is truly a remarkably piece of art. Cast includes Laurent Terzieff, Bernard Fresson, Elsabeth Wiener, Danny Carrel, Dario Moreno, and Daniel Riviere. (104 minutes, 1959)

Hold That Ghost: Prime Abott and Costello, with the boys inheriting a haunted house. This fine cast contains humorous Davis as virtuoso radio screamer. A highlight is the moving candle.

B.O.R.N.: Somebody is abducting youngsters from the roads of L.A. to cut up as organ donors. This weird action thriller has too many characters and too much gunfire, yet it has its good parts too. Cast includes Ross Hagen, Hoke Howell, P. J. Sales, William Smith, Russ Tamblyn, Amanda Blake, Clint Howard, and Claire Hagen. (92 minutes, 1989)

Alias Jesse James: One of Hope's funniest films has him as an insurance sales associate out West, not the right job for a gunslinger. Fleming is a pleasant Western belle, and the 2 do a cute melody together. Cast includes Bob Hope, Rhonda Fleming, Wendell Corey, Jim Davis, and Gloria Talbott. (92 minutes, 1959)

Pavilion of Women: A slowly developing myth set in 1938 China in reference to freedom vs. feudalism. A loyal woman falls for an American minister when her child longs for his dad's new concubine. Shot on location in China. Cast includes Luo Yan, Willem Dafoe, Shek Sau, John Cho, Yi Ding, Koh Chieng Mun, and Anita Loo. (119 minutes, 2001)

Hog Wild: This film is a silly comedy in reference to humorous bikers who pester adolescents. Unsurprising, low-grade production aids from quality acting, particularly Rosato an incoherently mumbling gang leader called the Bull. Cast includes Ashley Judd, Todd Territory, Bentley Mitchum, Allison Dean, and Dorothy Lyman. Cast includes Michael Biehn, Patti D'Arbanville, .Tony Rosato, Angelo Rizacos, Martin Doyle, and Mati Craven. (80 minutes, 1980)

Doughboys: This is one of Buster Keaton?s poorest films, a tiresome Army comedy. The rude sergeant (Brophy) overrides the few laughs. Cast includes Buster Keaton, Sally Eilers, Cliff Edwards, and Edward Brophy. (79 minutes, 1930)

Sense and Sensibility: A lucid, modern-day look at Jane Austin's novel in reference to 2 recently impoverished siblings one impulsive and flirtatious, the other persistently hindered and made to suppress her sensations of love. Impeccably cast and acted this is a vigorous and moving film dealing with how dissimilar identities handled them in early 19th-century England. Thompson won an Oscar for Best Screenplay Adaptation. Cast includes Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant, James Fleet, Harriet Walter, Gemma Jones, Elizabeth Spriggs, Robert Hardy, Greg Prudent, Imelda Staunton, Imogen Stubbs, Hugh Laurie, and Tom Wilkinson. (135 minutes, 1995)

Patton: This milestone in biographies finds Scott vivid as offbeat, radiant General George Patton, whose temper often erupts on demand during WW2. Malden is comparably impressive as General Omar Bradley in this intelligently written, finely wrought biographical war drama. Cast includes George C. Scott, Karl Malden, Stephen Youthful, Michael Hefty, Frank Latimore, James Edwards, Lawrence Dobkin, Michael Bates, and Tim Considine. (169 minutes, 1970)
