THE BOUNTY is a well-made adventure based on the disastrous voyage of the HMS Bounty, starring Mel Gibson as the rebellious crew leader Fletcher Christian and Anthony Hopkins as the stern Captain Bligh. Although the story was filmed twice before, this revisionist version of the mutinous tale offers new insight into the characters, particularly through its depiction and exoneration of Bligh. In this film, he is seen as a professional seaman who maintains an appropriate level of discipline, rather than an outrageous tyrant. Under Bligh's autocratic rule, the Bounty begins an ill-timed voyage around Cape Horn. The crew approach a breaking point, and Christian leads them in revolt. But Christian fails to grasp the dire consequences that await them all. Roger Donaldson's movie features a remarkable cast that includes Gibson, Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Liam Neeson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Edward Fox, and Bernard Hill.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailer - 1.

CONTRABAND: Gore maestro Fulci's sole foray into the crime thriller genre centers around feuding gangsters, and retains blood-and-violence factor at which the director excels. Underworld boss Luca Di Angelo (Fabio Testi) has worked his way up from the ghettos of Naples to become the city's top cigarette smuggler.
A rival emerges from the shadowy underworld in the form of The Margliese (Marcel Bozzuffi), a drug kingpin who wants Luca's territory for his own. He applies ever-mounting pressure to this end, but when that fails to break the essentially ethical Luca's resolve, The Margliese kills his brother and kidnaps his wife. This sends Luca on a rampage that sets off a killing spree, giving full reign to Fulci's stomach-churning talents. Euro-sex superstar Ajita Wilson also appears.CONQUEST: Fulci's trademark gore is applied to a new genre, and strange dabbling in fantasy is a rambling, eccentric sword-and-sorcery extravaganza. The demon sorceress Ocron has shadowed the sun with the strength of her will, and the once peaceful Land of Cronos lies in darkness. Only two warriors, Ilias (Andrea Occhipinti) and Maxz (Jorge Rivero), can save the world from her evil sorcery. Fulci is joined by the equally revered composer Claudio Simonetti, best known for his scoring of Dario Argento's films with his band, Goblin.

David Lean's masterpiece, perhaps the greatest of screen epics, stars Peter O'Toole in one of the most electrifying debuts in film history. The film is less an ordinary adventure than an experience that leaves an overwhelming sense memory of the struggle between two powerful forces: the Arabian deserts, immense, intractable, ever-shifting, punishing; and T.E. Lawrence, humble as a monk, flamboyant as a rock star, protean, polymathic, heroic, enigmatic, mad. While working on the staff of British Intelligence in Cairo in 1916, Lawrence's fluency in Arabic earns him a post on a mission sent to establish contact with Prince Feisal (Alec Guinness), leader of the Arab revolt and ally of the British against the German-sponsored Turks in WWI. Impressed by Lawrence's knowledge of their culture, the prince allows the young officer to join his staff, and Lawrence quickly earns the Arabs' respect after he executes acts of extraordinary heroism. As the Englishman's genius for guerrilla warfare becomes evident, he assumes the role of de facto leader of the Arab revolt, uniting the heretofore warring tribes into a devastatingly effective weapon. But the chaos of war also unleashes the repressed officer's powerful need for self-abasement and mortification of the flesh. A visionary work that unfolds one indelible image after another, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA fuses the conflict of man against man, man against nature, and man against himself into a sublime poem of force. The film features a literate script by Robert Bolt and an outstanding cast, which also includes Claude Rains, Jack Hawkins, Arthur Kennedy, Anthony Quinn, Jose Ferrer, and Omar Sharif in his unforgettable desert-crossing debut.Additional Release Material:Trailer - 1.
