                        The true story of Operation Market Garden, the Allies attempt, in September 1944, to hasten the end 
                    of WW2 by driving through Belgium and Holland into Germany. The idea was for US airborne divisions to 
                    take the towns of Eindhoven and Nijmegen and a British airborne division, reinforced by a Polish 
                    airborne brigade, to take the town of Arnhem. They would be reinforced, in due course and in turn, by 
                    the British XXX Corps, land-based and driving up from the British lines in the south. The key to the 
                    operation was the bridges, as if the Germans held or blew them, the paratroopers could not be relieved. 
                    Faulty intelligence, Allied high command hubris and stubborn German resistance would ensure that Arnhem 
                    was a bridge too far.

                    of the Alamo (February 23-March 6, 1836) where 183 Texans (American-born Texans) and Tejanos

                        Conquering 90% of the known world by the age of 25, Alexander the Great led his armies through 
                    22,000 miles of sieges and conquests in just eight years. Coming out of tiny Macedonia (today part of 
                    Greece), Alexander led his armies against the mighty Persian Empire, drove west to Egypt, and finally 
                    made his way east to India. This film will concentrate on those eight years of battles, as well as his 
                    relationship with his boyhood friend and battle mate, Hephaestion. Alexander died young, of illness, at 
                    33. Alexander's conquests paved the way for the spread of Greek culture (facilitating the spread of 
                    Christianity centuries later), and removed many of the obstacles that might have prevented the 
                    expansion of the Roman Empire. In other words, the world we know today might never have been if not for 
                    Alexander's bloody, yet unifying, conquest.

                        Antonio Salieri believes that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's music is divine and miraculous. He wishes 
                    he was himself as good a musician as Mozart so that he can praise the Lord through composing. He began 
                    his career as a devout man who believes his success and talent as a composer are God's rewards for his 
                    piety. He's also content as the respected, financially well-off, court composer of Austrian Emperor 
                    Joseph II. But he's shocked to learn that Mozart is such a vulgar creature, and can't understand why 
                    God favored Mozart to be his instrument. Salieri's envy has made him an enemy of God whose greatness 
                    was evident in Mozart. He is ready to take revenge against God and Mozart for his own musical 
                    mediocrity.

                        In 1797, William Wilberforce, the great crusader for the British abolition of slavery, is taking a 
                    vacation for his health even while he is sicker at heart for his frustrated cause. However, meeting the 
                    charming Barbara Spooner, Wilberforce finds a soulmate to share the story of his struggle. With few 
                    allies such as his mentor, John Newton, a slave ship captain turned repentant priest who penned the 
                    great hymn, "Amazing Grace," Prime William Pitt, and Olaudah Equiano, the erudite former slave turned 
                    author, Wilberforce fruitlessly fights both public indifference and moneyed opposition determined to 
                    keep their exploitation safe. Nevertheless, Wilberforce finds the inspiration in newfound love to 
                    rejuvenate the fight with new ideas that would lead to a great victory for social justice.

                        Famed writer Truman Capote, southern born and bred but now part of the New York City social circle, 
                    is growing weary of his current assignment of writing autobiographical type pieces for the New Yorker. 
                    After reading a newspaper article about the just occurred November 14, 1959 cold blooded murders of the 
                    Clutter family in their rural Kansas home, Truman feels compelled to write about that event as his next 
                    article. So he and his personal assistant Nelle Harper Lee, also a southern born New Yorker and an 
                    aspiring writer of her own, head to Kansas to research the story first-hand. Truman hopes to use his 
                    celebrity status to gain access to whomever he needs, such as to Laura Kinney, a friend of the Clutter 
                    daughter she who discovered the bodies, and to Alvin Dewey, the lead police investigator and also a 
                    Clutter family friend. If his celebrity doesn't work, Truman will grease the wheels by whatever means 
                    necessary. When the police eventually charge suspects, two young men named Dick Hickcock and Perry 
                    Smith, Truman uses those same tactics to gain access to them. Truman's fascination with the story makes 
                    him believe that he can revolutionize writing by expanding the germ of the article into what he calls a 
                    non-fiction novel. His personal involvement also changes as he grows emotionally attached to Perry, the 
                    seemingly sensitive and thus probable submissive in the criminal pairing, thus Truman becoming part of 
                    the story itself. Article or non-fiction novel, Truman knows that he has to take it to its natural 
                    conclusion, something which he cannot force. But also missing are the details of the November 14, 1959 
                    event itself, something that neither Dick or Perry have divulged even in testimony.

                    to save, and David Frost, a jet-setting television personality with a name to make, in the story of the 
                    historic encounter that changed both their lives. For three years after being forced from office, Nixon 
                    remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for 
                    one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal 
                    that ended his presidency. Nixon surprised everyone in selecting Frost as his televised confessor, 
                    intending to easily outfox the breezy British showman and secure a place in the hearts and minds of

                        Struggling private investigator Louis Simo treats his work more as a means to make a living than a 
                    want to do right by what few clients he has. Through connections with the investigation firm for which 
                    he used to work, Simo is hired by Helen Bessolo to investigate the death of her son, actor George 
                    Reeves. Reeves was best known for his title role in Adventures of Superman (1952), a role which he 
                    always despised, in part since it typecast him as a "cartoon", despite it bringing him a certain fame. 
                    His June 16, 1959 death by a single gunshot wound while in his bedroom in his Los Angeles home was 
                    ruled a suicide by the police, the death which occurred when the house was filled with people. Reeves' 
                    story is told in part in flashback as Simo, who is trying to make a name for himself with this case, 
                    talks to or tries to talk to some of the players involved, most specifically the wife of MGM General 
                    Manager E.J. Mannix, Toni Mannix, with whom Reeves was having a relatively open and gift-lucrative 
                    affair (she bought him that house), and Reeves' fiancee at the time of his death, Lenore Lemmon, an 
                    aspiring actress who some felt didn't love Reeves (or vice versa). As Simo proceeds with his 
                    high-profile investigation, he learns that someone doesn't want him snooping around. Through the 
                    process, Simo evaluates his own professional and personal life, the latter of which includes a somewhat 
                    strained relationship with his wife and son.

                        During the 1990s, some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind took place in the country 
                    of Rwanda--and in an era of high-speed communication and round the clock news, the events went almost 
                    unnoticed by the rest of the world. In only three months, one million people were brutally murdered. In 
                    the face of these unspeakable actions, inspired by his love for his family, an ordinary man summons 
                    extraordinary courage to save the lives of over a thousand helpless refugees, by granting them shelter 
                    in the hotel he manages.

                    South Africa's rugby team to help unite their country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation 
                    remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people 
                    together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa's rugby team as they 
                    make their historic run to the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship match.

                        Biopic of J. Edgar Hoover told by Hoover as he recalls his career for a biography. Early in his 
                    career, Hoover fixated on Communists, anarchists and any other revolutionary taking action against the 
                    U.S. government. He slowly builds the agency's reputation, becoming the sole arbiter of who gets hired 
                    and fired. One of his hires is Clyde Tolson who is quickly promoted to Assistant Director and would be 
                    Hoover's confidant and companion for the rest of Hoover's life. Hoover's memories have him playing a 
                    greater role in the many high profile cases the FBI was involved in - the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, 
                    the arrest of bank robbers like John Dillinger - and also show him to be quite adept at manipulating 
                    the various politicians he's worked with over his career, thanks in large part to his secret files.

                    An investigation concludes that Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby acted alone in their respective crimes, 
                    but Louisiana district attorney Jim Garrison is skeptical. Assembling a trusted group of people, 
                    Garrison conducts his own investigation, bringing about backlash from powerful government and political 
                    figures.

                    Maiden of Lorraine. This says that a young maiden one day will unite the divided country and lead the 
                    people to freedom. 11 years old she starts hearing voices from Saint Catherine and Archangel Michael. 
                    Through them she is commissioned by God to go to Prince Charles in Chinon, to convince him to become 
                    the King of France and drive the English occupants away. Charles thinks that Joan could be the catalyst 
                    that animates his disheartened troops. He commissions her to lead the army together with captain La 
                    Hire. After their victory at Orleans Joan participates in the coronation of Charles in Reims. Bishop 
                    Cauchon accuses her of heresy, and is relocated to Northern France, where he associates with the 
                    English occupants. Joan breaks Charles treaty with Burgundy by attacking Paris. Her troops are 
                    defeated, and Charles betrays her by letting the Burgundians capture her. They hand her over to their 
                    English allies, who put her on a trial led by bishop Cauchon. The court sentences her to be burned at 
                    the stake as a heretic.

                    Captain Alexi Vostrikov, races against time to prevent a Chernobyl-like nuclear disaster which

                    between Europe and the East. A blacksmith named Balian has lost his family and nearly his faith. The 
                    religious wars raging in the far-off Holy Land seem remote to him, yet he is pulled into that immense 
                    drama. Amid the pageantry and intrigues of medieval Jerusalem he falls in love, grows into a leader, 
                    and ultimately uses all his courage and skill to defend the city against staggering odds. Destiny comes 
                    seeking Balian in the form of a great knight, Godfrey of Ibelin, a Crusader briefly home to France from 
                    fighting in the East. Revealing himself as Balian's father, Godfrey shows him the true meaning of 
                    knighthood and takes him on a journey across continents to the fabled Holy City. In Jerusalem at that 
                    moment--between the Second and Third Crusades--a fragile peace prevails, through the efforts of its 
                    enlightened Christian king, Baldwin IV, aided by his advisor Tiberias, and the military restraint of 
                    the legendary Muslim leader Saladin Ayubi . But Baldwin's days are numbered, and strains of fanaticism, 
                    greed, and jealousy among the Crusaders threaten to shatter the truce. King Baldwin's vision of 
                    peace--a kingdom of heaven--is shared by a handful of knights, including Godfrey of Ibelin, who swear 
                    to uphold it with their lives and honor. As Godfrey passes his sword to his son, he also passes on that 
                    sacred oath: to protect the helpless, safeguard the peace, and work toward harmony between religions 
                    and cultures, so that a kingdom of heaven can flourish on earth. Balian takes the sword and steps into 
                    history.

                        In April 1805 during the Napoleonic Wars, H.M.S. Surprise, a British frigate, is under the command 
                    of Captain Jack Aubrey. Aubrey and the Surprise's current orders are to track and capture or destroy a 
                    French privateer named Acheron. The Acheron is currently in the Atlantic off South America headed 
                    toward the Pacific in order to extend Napoleon's reach of the wars. This task will be a difficult one 
                    as Aubrey quickly learns in an initial battle with the Acheron that it is a bigger and faster ship than 
                    the Surprise, which puts the Surprise at a disadvantage. Aubrey's single-mindedness in this seemingly 
                    impossible pursuit puts him at odds with the Surprise's doctor and naturalist, Stephen Maturin, who is 
                    also Aubrey's most trusted advisor on board and closest friend. Facing other internal obstacles which 
                    have resulted in what they consider a string of bad luck, Aubrey ultimately uses Maturin's scientific 
                    exploits to figure out a way to achieve his and the ship's seemingly impossible goal.

                    the public at large she quickly found her marriage to be a disappointment, defined by her duty to 
                    produce a male heir and the Duke's philandering and callous indifference to her. She befriends Lady

                    living uncomfortably together. Against this background, and with the pressures of an unfaithful

                    with Charles Grey, a rising young Whig politician. However, despite his ongoing liaison with Lady Bess, 
                    the Duke refuses to allow her to continue the affair and threatens to take her children from her.

                    home, Garrigan must make some crucial decisions that could mean his death if the despot finds out.

                        In the 1870s, Captain Nathan Algren, a cynical veteran of the American Civil war who will work for 
                    anyone, is hired by Americans who want lucrative contracts with the Emperor of Japan to train the 
                    peasant conscripts for the first standing imperial army in modern warfare using firearms. The imperial 
                    Omura cabinet's first priority is to repress a rebellion of traditionalist Samurai -hereditary 
                    warriors- who remain devoted to the sacred dynasty but reject the Westernizing policy and even refuse 
                    firearms. Yet when his ill-prepared superior force sets out too soon, their panic allows the 
                    sword-wielding samurai to crush them. Badly wounded Algren's courageous stand makes the samurai leader 
                    Katsumoto spare his life; once nursed to health he learns to know and respect the old Japanese way, and 
                    participates as advisor in Katsumoto's failed attempt to save the Bushido tradition, but Omura gets 
                    repressive laws enacted- he must now choose to honor his loyalty to one of the embittered sides when 
                    the conflict returns to the battlefield...

                        In 1660, with the return of Charles II to the English throne, theater, the visual arts, science and 
                    sexual promiscuity flourish. Thirteen years later, in the midst of political and economical problems, 
                    Charles II asks for the return of his friend John Wilmot, aka the second Earl of Rochester, from exile 
                    back to London. John is a morally-corrupt drunkard and a sexually- active cynical poet. When the King 
                    asks John to prepare a play for the French ambassador so as to please him, John meets the aspiring 
                    actress Elizabeth Barry in the playhouse and decides to make her into a great star. He falls in love 
                    with her and she becomes his mistress. During the presentation to the Frenchman, he falls into disgrace 
                    with the court. When he was thirty-three years old and dying of syphilis and alcoholism, he converts to 
                    being a religious man.

                        Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action 
                    drama focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue 
                    artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an 
                    impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to 
                    destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys - seven museum directors, curators, and art 
                    historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 - possibly hope to succeed? But as the 
                    Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 
                    1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankind's greatest 
                    achievements.

                        In Nazareth, teenager Mary is betrothed to the local carpenter, Joseph. Mary is visited by an angel 
                    and told that she will fulfill a prophecy and as a virgin give birth to God's son, the savior of the 
                    world. Mary's pregnancy brings her the scorn of the community and Joseph struggles to believe her 
                    seemingly outlandish story. Meanwhile, a census forces every man and his family to return to his place 
                    of birth. Joseph and Mary set out on a long and arduous journey to Bethlehem. This story is based on 
                    the Biblical account of the birth of Jesus Christ.

                        Captain Smith is spared his mutinous hanging sentence after captain Newport's ship arrives in 1607 
                    to found Jamestown, an English colony in Virginia. The initially friendly natives, who have no personal 
                    property concept, turn hostile after a 'theft' is 'punished' violently on the spot. During an armed 
                    exploration, Smith is captured, but spared when the chief's favorite daughter Pocahontas pleads for the 
                    stranger who soon becomes her lover and learns to love their naive 'savage' way of harmonious life. 
                    Ultimately he returns to the grim fort, which would starve hadn't she arranged for Indian generosity. 
                    Alas, each side soon brands their own lover a traitor, so she is banished and he flogged as 
                    introduction to slavish toiling. Changes turn again, leading Smith to accept a northern-more mission 
                    and anglicized Pocahontas, believing him dead, becoming the mother of aristocratic new lover John 
                    Rolfe's son. They'll meet again for a finale in England.
