Gangs of New York - DVD

You've never seen anything like THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE, a wildly inventive and highly original animated feature crowded with colorful characters and fantastic imagery. Kidnapped by mysterious, square-shouldered henchmen, a Tour de France cyclist named Champion is spirited across the ocean to the teeming metropolis of Belleville. His grandmother and faithful dog follow his trail and are taken in by a trio of eccentric jazz-era divas.

The first film in over 40 years to win five major Academy Awards (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay), Milos Forman's adaptation of Ken Kesey's 1962 novel stars Jack Nicholson as prisoner Randle McMurphy, who's transferred to the mental ward to avoid hard labor. McMurphy's rebellious, anti-authority ways quickly inspire his fellow patients and pit him against dictatorial Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher). With Will Sampson, Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd, Brad Dourif. 133 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

James Dean became a national symbol for '50s teen angst in director Nicholas Ray's powerful character study of alienated youth. Dean stars as new kid in town Jim Stark, who faces problems at school, deals with his parents' constant arguing, participates in knife fights and chicken races, and finds friendship with fellow outcast Plato (Sal Mineo) and the beautiful Judy (Natalie Wood). With Jim Backus, Dennis Hopper. 111 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
