Bullets Over Broadway (1994)
Directed by Woody Allen
Rated PG <imdb>
In 1920s New York, gangsters and the Broadway stage collide with hilarious consequences. A mediocre playwright is forced to accept mobsters as producers of his play, or it will never see the footlights. Jennifer Tilly as a gangster’s actress girlfriend and Dianne Wiest as a past-her-prime diva are divine. Each earned an Oscar nomination. Also Stars: John Cusack, Chazz Palmintieri.

The Big Sleep (1946)
Directed by Howard Hawks
Not Rated <imdb>
You know you’re in good hands with a screenplay by William Faulkner based on the novel by Raymond Chandler. Step into a world of suspense and intrigue where danger lurks in every shadow. The immortal Humphrey Bogart portrays private detective Philip Marlowe and Lauren Bacall plays her part as a smart and classy rich girl as only she can. This film noir thriller set the standard.

Rebecca (1940)
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Not Rated <imdb>
Based upon Daphne du Maurier’s novel and set on the wild and brooding coast of Cornwall, Hitchcock’s genius as a film director abounds in this brilliant screen adaptation. The legendary Laurence Olivier is stellar; the rest of the cast is flawless. A man’s memory of his late wife still torments him despite the fact he’s just married an adoring younger woman. The late Rebecca’s glamorous presence continues to permeate his ancestral estate. What is the mystery of Manderley? Also Stars: Joan Fontaine, George Sanders, Judith Anderson.

The unlikely pair cross paths and gradually share slices of their lives. (Even Reno’s irreconcilable ingredient issues with his father.) Will they overcome these personal problems and journey on together—or not? French with English Subtitles.
