Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (2002)
The climax of battle scenes in the saga, this second part is more action than Hobbitshire, with some epic scenes, some beautiful CGI, and the anticipated appearance of Gollum. You will not be disappointed, precioussss.- DVD
$19.95$14.95 
Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (2003)- The dark climax of the saga, this final part LOTR is far more dark than the others, with some epic scenes, and of course the continued presence of Gollum, a favourite character. A little long, but it does finally end.
- DVD
$19.95$14.95 
Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)- An epic first–part adventure, with beautiful vistas and a stunning imagining of the Tolkien classic. Good and evil are clearly contrasted, pushing the story along even if you're not paying attention or invested in the tale.
- DVD

Shanghai Knights (2003)
Shanghai Noon 2 is not quite as funny as the first, and a little more silly, but the team still works well, and you will still find some easy laughs.
Rush Hour (1998)
- Chan pairs up with Tucker in the usual unlikely buddy–cop scenario, with Chan kicking all the butt and Tucker doing all the talking. Very likeable, if overdone by the end.
Shanghai Noon (2000)- An irresistibly fun Western comedy with unwitting pair Chan and Wilson rescuing a princess amidst other misadventures. Owen Wilson at his charming best.
Willow (1988)- An epic fantasy adventure (think The Princess Bride) that pits together humans, dwarves, elves, evil queens, and hideous monsters in a magical world. A childhood favourite.
- DVD
$15$11.25 
Psycho (1998)- A good–enough and faithful remake of the original suspense classic, but ultimately unnecessary. There are few surprises for those who have seen the first, and those who haven't should prefer the Hitchcock version.
- DVD $14.95
Psycho (1960)
Perkins is brilliant, and the Norman Bates character is still intensely creepy. Hitchcock proves himself a master of more than one genre and cements certain horror elements for all time (think groundbreaking shower scene).
Back to the Future 3 (1990)- Not quite as great as the first two films, in part due to a strange feeling of inconsistency between the futuristic and Western elements. Still provides some good laughs, and a fun ride overall.
