**“The Godfather is a monumental achievement in American cinema and remains a cultural touchstone more than five decades after its release. Marlon Brando cemented his legendary status with a Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Vito Corleone, the aging patriarch of the Corleone crime family. Al Pacino stars as Vito’s youngest son, a war hero who never intended to follow his father into the family business. While the Corleones are criminals, they uphold a code of honor that sets them apart from the other five crime families.
When the five families declare war on the Corleones, Vito fights for his life while Michael is pulled into the criminal underworld to protect his family. In the process, Michael discovers that he is born for this life and may be even more ruthless than his father when eliminating the family’s enemies. This is the crime saga by which all others are measured, and few films can even be mentioned in the same breath.

**“Just over three decades ago, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were married and very much in love. The couple also starred together in Ron Howard’s epic Western romance, Far and Away, where, unsurprisingly, they play lovers on screen. Cruise portrays Joseph Donnelly, an Irish farmer who tries to kill his landlord, Daniel Christie (Robert Prosky), after his family’s home is burned down over unpaid rent.
Joseph’s revenge attempt fails, and he encounters Daniel’s daughter, Shannon Christie (Kidman). She persuades him to join her in America to seek their fortune. Originally cast as Shannon’s servant, Joseph’s new life flips their roles entirely. Together, they start over from scratch, learning to love each other while facing the challenges of the American frontier. There’s land to claim, but first, they must survive long enough to take it.

**“Last Action Hero is an often-overlooked meta comedy-action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as both himself and his on-screen character, Detective Jack Slater. Austin O’Brien plays Danny Madigan, a young boy who is magically transported into Jack Slater’s latest movie via a special movie ticket. Inside the film, Danny experiences the wild, over-the-top world of Jack’s adventures firsthand though Jack himself treats talking cats and other outrageous characters as completely normal.
Things take a dangerous turn when the movie’s villain, Mr. Benedict (Charles Dance), discovers that Danny’s ticket holds immense power. Determined to use it to enter the real world, Benedict plans to kill Schwarzenegger and finally defeat Jack Slater once and for all.

**“Leonardo DiCaprio has rarely been more charming than in Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can. The film is loosely based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr. (DiCaprio), a young con artist with an extraordinary talent for forging checks. His skills quickly draw the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks), who spends years trying to bring him to justice.
To stay one step ahead, Frank takes on a series of false identities, working as an airline pilot, doctor, and lawyer. Along the way, he falls deeply for Brenda Strong (Amy Adams), but his life of deception constantly threatens to catch up with him, no matter how comfortable he gets in his assumed roles.
