Comedy legends Richard Pryor and John Candy star in the hilarious rags-to-riches story, Brewster's Millions. Minor league baseball pitcher Montgomery Brewster (Pyror) finds himself in a most preposterous situation: he must spend $30 million in 30 days as a condition to inherit a much greater fortune. Making things even more difficult, he will forfeit everything if he reveals to anyone the real reason he seems to be throwing away all that cash. With the help of his pal Spike (Candy), they set off on a frantic spending spree the likes of which would bring any self-respecting accountant to his knees.

Description

Perhaps no director tapped into the pervasive sense of dread and mistrust that defined the 1970s more effectively than Alan J. Pakula, who, in the second installment of his celebrated Paranoia Trilogy, offers a chilling vision of America in the wake of the assassinations of the Kennedys and Martin Luther King Jr. and about to be shocked by Watergate. Three years after witnessing the murder of a leading senator atop Seattle’s Space Needle, reporter Joseph Frady (Warren Beatty) begins digging into the mysterious circumstances surrounding the killing—and stumbles into a labyrinthine conspiracy far more sinister than he could have imagined. The Parallax View’s coolly stylized, shadow-etched compositions by acclaimed cinematographer Gordon Willis give visual expression to a mood that begins as an anxious whisper and ends as a scream into the void. Blu-Ray Special edition features • New, restored 4K digital transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack • New introduction by filmmaker Alex Cox • Interviews with director Alan J. Pakula from 1974 and 1995 • New program on cinematographer Gordon Willis featuring an interview with Willis from 2004 • New interview with Jon Boorstin, assistant to Pakula on The Parallax View • English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing • Plus: An essay by critic Nathan Heller and a 1974 interview with Pakula.

Description

Somewhere in Nazi Germany there is a concentration camp. In that camp, there are seven crosses, one for each of the men who dared to escape. One by one, the Gestapo hunts the seven down, and returns them to the crosses. And death. Until there is but one cross left, and one man left trying to escape it. Fred Zinnemann (High Noon) directs Spencer Tracy at the head of a terrifically talented ensemble that includes Hume Cronyn & Jessica Tandy in their first appearance together.

Description

Arizona Territorial Prison inmate Paris Pitman, Jr. is a schemer, a charmer and quite popular among his fellow convicts -- especially with $500,000 in stolen loot hidden away and a plan to escape and recover it. New warden Woodward Lopeman has other ideas about Pitman. Each man will have the tables turned on him. Academy Award winner* Joseph L. Mankiewicz cleverly lassos a twisting, turning Wild West tale of brawls, chases, shootouts and wry wit, courtesy of a script by David Newman and Robert Benton (Bonnie and Clyde). Kirk Douglas as Pitman and Henry Fonda as Lopeman headline a sterling cast, with Hume Cronyn, Burgess Meredith, Warren Oates and Lee Grant among the solid support. Boisterous yet blistering, lighthearted yet lacerating, There Was a Crooked Man is, throughout all its moods, devilishly entertaining.
