An American silent film classic, Beggars of Life (1928) stars Louise Brooks as a train-hopping hobo who dresses like a boy to survive. After escaping her violent stepfather, Nancy (Brooks) befriends kindly drifter Jim (Richard Arlen). They ride the rails together until a fateful encounter with the blustery Oklahoma Red (Wallace Beery) and his rambunctious band of hoboes, leading to daring, desperate conflict on top of a moving train. Based on the memoir of real-life hobo Jim Tully, and directed with adventuresome verve by William Wellman (The Ox-Bow Incident), Beggars of Life is an essential American original. Special Features: Digitally restored from 35mm film elements preserved by the George Eastman Museum | Audio commentary by actor William Wellman, Jr. | Audio commentary by Thomas Gladysz, founding director of the Louise Brooks Society | Booklet essay by film critic Nick Pinkerton | Musical score compiled and performed by The Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra, employing selections from the original 1928 Paramount cue-sheet

Producer-director Stanley Kramer's Judgment at Nuremberg (1961), considered by many to be the legendary filmmaker's masterpiece, is a grave, near-documentary attempt to deal with the Holocaust, war crimes, the complex moral-political impact of the Nuremberg Trials, and the very nature of justice, itself. With a thoughtful, intelligent screenplay by Abby Mann (based on his own award-winning Playhouse 90 television play), the film features wrenching performances by Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Maximilian Schell, Richard Widmark, Marlene Dietrich, Montgomery Clift, and Judy Garland.

It was 1943. And young men were counting the days before they went off to war... Artfully directed by Richard Benjamin (My Favorite Year), Racing with the Moon is a film so tender, so insightful, so full of heart that you'll never quite forget it. This is the story of Henry Hopper Nash (Sean Penn, Fast Times at Ridgemont High) and his buddy Nicky (Nicolas Cage, Valley Girl) enjoying their last boyish exploits before they enter the Marines. Elizabeth McGovern (Ordinary People) portrays Penn's mysterious girlfriend. What ensues is a sensitive, bittersweet tale of lost innocence and the trauma of growing up too fast. The result is a magic moment, brilliantly captured within the emotional crosscurrent of America's most dramatic time. Critically-acclaimed upon its 1984 release and starring three of the brightest acting talents to emerge in that decade, Racing with the Moon, in spite of this, remains a hidden gem. Director Benjamin and his esteemed collaborators--cinematographer John Bailey (American Gigolo), ​costume designer Patricia Norris (Days of Heaven), production designer David L. Snyder (Blade Runner), set decorators Jerry Wunderlich (The Exorcist) and Jeannine Oppewall (L.A. Confidential) and composer Dave Grusin (My Bodyguard)--pooled their considerable skills to convincingly turn back the clock to the early 1940s in order to bring Steve Kloves's (The Fabulous Baker Boys) debut script to life. Set in gorgeous Northern California coastal environs, Racing with the Moon has been remastered from a new 4K scan of its original 35mm camera negative for this worldwide Blu-ray debut.
