The Blues Brothers (1980)
[quote]The Blues Brothers is a 1980 American musical comedy film
directed by John Landis.[4] It stars John Belushi and Dan
Aykroyd as "Joliet" Jake and Elwood Blues, characters developed
from "The Blues Brothers" recurring musical sketch on the NBC
variety series Saturday Night Live. The film is set in and
around Chicago, Illinois, where it was filmed. The film's
screenplay was written by Aykroyd and Landis. It features
musical numbers by rhythm and blues (R&B), soul, and blues
singers James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles,
and John Lee Hooker. It features non-musical supporting
performances by Carrie Fisher, Henry Gibson, Charles Napier and
John Candy. [/quote]
Expanding on their Saturday Night Live characters, John Belushi
and Dan Aykroyd star as Jake and Elwood Blues, two white boys
with black soul. Sporting cool shades and look-alike suits, Jake
and Elwood are dispatched on a "mission from God" by their
former teacher, Sister Mary Stigmata (Kathleen Freeman). Said
mission is to raise $5000 to save an orphanage. In the course of
their zany adventures, the Blues Brothers run afoul of neo-Nazi
Henry Gibson, perform the theme from Rawhide before the most
unruly bar crowd in written history, and lay waste to hundreds
of cars on the streets and freeways of Chicago. In case you
aren't swept up in the infectuous nuttiness of the brothers
Blue, you might have fun spotting film's legion of guest stars,
including James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray
Charles, John Candy, Carrie Fisher, Steve Lawrence, Twiggy, Paul
Reubens (aka Pee-Wee Herman), Frank Oz, and Steven Spielberg

The Truman Show (1998)
[quote]The Truman Show is a 1998 American science fiction
comedy-drama film directed by Peter Weir, produced by Scott
Rudin, Andrew Niccol, Edward S. Feldman, and Adam Schroeder, and
written by Niccol. The film stars Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank
who grew up living a life that takes place in Seahaven populated
by actors for a television show about him, until he discovers he
has been on tv his whole life without knowing, in search for the
truth and decides try and escape. Additional roles are performed
by Laura Linney, Noah Emmerich, Natascha McElhone, Holland
Taylor, Ed Harris,Paul Giamatti and Brian Delate. [/quote]
Truman Burbank is a normal man, living in a normal town. He grew
up to be a desk clerk for a insurance company, living an
ordinary life, having an ordinary wife, an ordinary neighbour
and an ordinary bud, who pops in from time to time with a
sixpack. But Truman is not happy with his life. He wants to see
the world. He wants to get away from his happy-happy, ever tidy,
nice'n'shiny little island town at the seaside. In reality,
Truman was an unwanted pregnancy. His "father", Christof, a
reckless TV-Producer whom he never met, made up the Truman Show
- the greatest show on earth - a show in which life is live. So,
everyone around poor Truman is an actor with a little headphone
in the ear. One day, Truman accidentally bumps into a catering
area backstage and gets pretty suspicious. His plan now is:
Pretend to be sleeping and steal away...

Unforgiven (1992)
[quote]Unforgiven is a 1992 American revisionist Western film
produced and directed by Clint Eastwood and written by David
Webb Peoples. The film portrays William Munny, an aging outlaw
and killer who takes on one more job years after he had turned
to farming. The film stars Eastwood in the lead role, with Gene
Hackman, Morgan Freeman and Richard Harris. Eastwood stated that
the film would be his last Western for fear of repeating himself
or imitating someone else's work.[3]
The film won four Academy Awards: Best Picture and Best Director
for Clint Eastwood, Best Supporting Actor for Gene
Hackman,[/quote]
Dedicated to his mentors Sergio Leone and Don Siegel, Clint
Eastwood's 1992 Oscar-winner examines the mythic violence of the
Western, taking on the ghosts of his own star past. Disgusted by
Sheriff "Little Bill" Daggett's decree that several ponies make
up for a cowhand's slashing a whore's face, Big Whiskey
prostitutes, led by fierce Strawberry Alice (Frances Fisher),
take justice into their own hands and put a $1000 bounty on the
lives of the perpetrators. Notorious outlaw-turned-hog farmer
William Munny (Eastwood) is sought out by neophyte gunslinger
the Schofield Kid (Jaimz Woolvett) to go with him to Big Whiskey
and collect the bounty. While Munny insists, "I ain't like that
no more," he needs the bounty money for his children, and the
two men convince Munny's clean-living comrade Ned Logan (Morgan
Freeman) to join them in righting a wrong done to a woman.
Little Bill (Oscar-winner Gene Hackman), however, has no
intention of letting any bounty hunters impinge on his iron-clad
authority. When pompous gunman English Bob (Richard Harris)
arrives in Big Whiskey with pulp biographer W.W. Beauchamp (Saul
Rubinek) in tow, Little Bill beats Bob senseless and promises to
tell Beauchamp the real story about violent frontier life and
justice. But when Munny, the true unwritten legend, comes to
town, everyone soon learns a harsh lesson about the price of
vindictive bloodshed and the malleability of ideas like
"justice." "I don't deserve this," pleads Little Bill.
"Deserve's got nothin' to do with it," growls Munny,
simultaneously summing up the insanity of western violence and
the legacy of Eastwood's Man With No Name.

Angel on My Shoulder (TV Movie 1980)
[quote]Angel on My Shoulder is a 1946 American fantasy film
directed by Archie Mayo and starring Paul Muni, Anne Baxter and
Claude Rains. The plot is about a deal between the Devil and a
dead man.
The film was an independent production, produced by Charles R.
Rogers and David W. Siegel, written by Harry Segall and Roland
Kibbee, and released by United Artists. The film was Mayo's last
before his retirement.
The producer changed the original title, Me and Satan, when he
concluded that the public would not see a film about the
Devil.[/quote]
After his release from prison, gangster Eddie Kagle is killed by
his partner in crime, Smiley Williams. Kagle ends up in Hell,
where "Nick" offers him a chance to leave and avenge his own
death in exchange for help with a problem. Kagle looks exactly
like Judge Frederick Parker, an upright man who is causing Nick
distress because he is entirely too honest. Nick fears that
Parker may cause him more anxiety in future, as he is running
for governor of his state. Nick wants to destroy Parker's
reputation and Kagle readily agrees to have his soul transferred
into Parker's body.
As soon as Kagle appears as Parker, odd things begin to happen.
Kagle pursues his goal with evil intent (though often at cross
purposes with the Devil), but everything he does to ruin Judge
Parker's reputation somehow results in making Parker look
better. Along the way, Kagle falls in love with Barbara Foster,
the judge's fiancée, causing him to question his whole outlook
on life and eventually rebel against Nick.
Nick presents Kagle the opportunity to shoot Williams, but
instead Kagle confronts the man with the truth. Shocked and
frightened, Williams backs away and falls out an open window to
his death.
Exasperated and defeated, Nick takes Kagle back to Hell, leaving
Judge Parker in a much better position than before. Nick
threatens to make the reformed Kagle's punishment even more
painful than usual, but Kagle blackmails his would-be tormentor;
in return for not revealing Nick's blunders, Kagle wants to be
made a trustee. Nick has no option but to agree to the demand.
