The Producers (2005)
New York, 1959. Max Bialystock was
once the king of Broadway, but now all his shows close on opening
night. Things turn around when he's visited by the neurotic
accountant Leo Bloom, who proposes a scheme tailor-made for
producers who can only make flops: raise far more money than you
need, then make sure the show is despised. No one will be
interested in it, so you can pocket the surplus. To this end, they
produce a musical called Springtime for Hitler written by escaped
Nazi Franz Liebken. Then they get the insanely flamboyant Roger De
Bris to direct. Finally, they hire as a lead actress the loopy
Swedish bombshell Ulla (whose last name has over 15 syllables). As
opening night draws near, what can go wrong? Well, there's no
accounting for taste...

Pulp
Fiction (1994)
Drama and
Crime/Gangster
Writer-director Quentin Tarantino revisits the seedier
side of Los Angeles--following 1992’s RESERVOIR
DOGS--with this funny, violent, tongue-in-cheek tribute to
the less "classic" side of filmmaking--the
potboilers and capers, the Blaxploitation flicks and
gangster movies. The film interweaves three tales, told in
a circular, fractured manner, which only fully connect by
the time the final credits roll. The first story focuses
on Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield
(Samuel L. Jackson), two hit men on duty for "the big
boss," Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames), whose
gorgeous wife, Mia (Uma Thurman), takes a liking to
Vincent. In the second, a down-and-out pugilist (Bruce
Willis), who is ordered to take a fall, decides that
there’s more money in doing the opposite. The final
chapter follows a pair of lovers (Amanda Plummer and Tim
Roth) as they prepare to hold up a diner.
Tarantino wears his cinematic influences proudly, bringing
them to life in the ironically hip, self-referential
1990s. The result is a work that changed the face of
independent cinema forever, making it a legitimate player
in the Hollywood mainstream. The all-star cast steps into
their roles with obvious glee, and Tarantino once again
uses his soundtrack to up the "cool" ante yet
another notch, making for a motion picture event that has
worked its way into our national vernacular.

Dog and Glory (1993)

individuals. Robert De Niro stars as Wayne "Mad
Dog" Dobie, a cop who wants desperately to be an
artist. After interrupting a holdup and saving the life of
mobster Frank Milo (Bill Murray), his life takes a
dramatic turn. Milo, a gangster with the desire (if not
the talent) to become a stand-up comic, rewards Wayne by

week, a week in which Mad Dog, initially repulsed by the
idea of Milo's gift, gradually begins to fall in love with
Glory.

Where
the Heart Is (1990)
Comedy

The
Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)
In TIME BANDITS, director

young man trapped in a totalitarian state. And now, with
THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN, Gilliam tells the
legend of an old man who has lived a fairy-tale life. In
the late 18th century, the Age of Reason has no room for
fantasy. In a town besieged by murderous enemies, a
traveling company is putting on a stage show about the
apocryphal Baron Munchausen, who, with his motley crew of
servants, supposedly circled the globe and the universe,
following each bizarre adventure with one even more
strange and ludicrous.
