Anzio
Screen greats Robert Mitchum, Peter Falk, and Arthur Kennedy star in the riveting war drama ANZIO, a vivid portrait of one of the bloodiest WWII battles ever fought. After landing with allied troops at Anzio, Italy in 1944, war correspondent Dick Ennis (Mitchum) and buddy Corporal Rabinoff (Falk) tell Anzio commander General Lesley (Kennedy) that the road to Rome is wide open. But instead of heading to Rome, Lesley attempts to build a coastal stronghold, only to discover that the Germans have outflanked them by enclosing the Anzio beachhead. Four months and over 30,000 causalities later, the Allied forces smash through the German lines and victoriously march to Rome. Directed by highly-acclaimed action director Edward Dmytrk (The Caine Mutiny, Back to Bataan), ANZIO is a powerful film and a symbol of heroic tenacity.

Chariots of Fire
Based on a true story, and now digitally re-mastered to celebrate the 30th Anniversary since its original release, Chariots of Fire is the internationally acclaimed Oscar-winning drama of two very different men who compete as runners in the 1924 Paris Olympics. Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson), a serious Christian Scotsman, believes that he has to succeed as a testament to his undying religious faith. Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross), is a Jewish Englishman who wants desperately to be accepted and prove to the world that Jews are not inferior. The film crosscuts between each man's life as he trains for the competition, fueled by these very different desires. As compelling as the racing scenes are, it's really the depth of the two main characters that touches the viewer, as they forcefully drive home the theme that victory attained through devotion, commitment, integrity, and sacrifice is the most admirable feat that one can achieve. (Ian Holm was nominated for an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor in his role as Abrahams' coach), and this powerful film ended up with four Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Score.

Zulu
Zulu er en et episk eventyr om mot når man står foran usannsynlige odds. Filmen er basert på en sann historie, og forteller historien om 100 britiske soldater som stod fast imot en overveldende styrke på 4 000 av zulustammenes mektigste krigere og forsvarte Rorkes Drift i 1879. Med sin glitrende filming i Technirama er det få andre filmer som gir et like gripende bilde av spenningen og frykten etter hvert som bølger av krigere slippes løs på den bitte lille garnisonen. Det slående sørafrikanske landskapet danner bakgrunnen for ”ZULU”, som er et landemerke innen actionfilmer og en passende hyllest til noen av krigshistoriens mest storslåtte heltedåder. Michael Caines rolle som den arrogante, men modige løytnant Bromhead gjorde ham verdensberømt, og filmen inneholder mektige rolletolkninger fra andre store britiske skuespillere, blant annet Stanley Baker og Jack Hawkins.
