    After the Sunset

    Synopsis: Having already stolen two from the set of three priceless Napoleon Diamonds, expert jewel thief Max Burdett (Pierce Brosnan) decides to retire on a tropical island with his girlfriend and partner-in-crime, Lola (Salma Hayek). Fate intervenes, however, when Max discovers the third and final diamond is sitting on a docked cruise ship on his very island. It should be a simple job, but FBI agent Stan Lloyd (Woody Harrelson) shows up to make sure Max doesn't get any ideas.

    After the Sunset was released in 2004 and was directed by Brett Ratner from a script by Paul Zbyszewski and Craig Rosenberg. The film also stars Don Cheadle, Naomie Harris, Chris Penn and Troy Garity.

    The Corrupter

    Synopsis: Martial arts expert Detective Nick Chen (Chow Yun-Fat) teams up with his colleague Danny Wallace (Mark Wahlberg) to keep several gangs in New York City's Chinatown from annihilating each other. They must contend not only with the increasingly power-hungry gangsters, but also with the temptation of bribery and corruption as the bad guys divide and conquer the police forces. In what's beginning to seem like a losing battle, Chen and Wallace struggle to establish law and prevent more bloodshed.

    The Corrupter was released in 1999 and was directed by James Foley from a script by Robert Pucci. The film also stars Brian Cox, Paul Ben-Victor, John Kit Lee, Andrew Pang and Ric Young.

    Detroit Rock City

    Synopsis: Rock-loving teens and aspiring musicians Hawk (Edward Furlong), Lex (Giuseppe Andrews), Trip (James DeBello) and Jam (Sam Huntington) can't wait to see their favorite band, KISS, perform at an upcoming concert. However, when Jam's pious mother (Lin Shaye) finds the tickets to the event, she incinerates them, leaving the boys desperate for a way to see the show. In their attempts to see KISS, the lads endure misunderstandings, humiliation and violence, all just to see their beloved idols.

    Detroit Rock City was released in 1999 and was directed by Adam Rifkin from a script by Carl Dupré. The film also stars Melanie Lynskey, Natasha Lyonne, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Nick Scotti.

    Empire Records

    Synopsis: Joe (Anthony LaPaglia) runs Empire Records, an independent Delaware store that employs a tight-knit group of music-savvy youths. Hearing that the shop may be sold to a big chain, slacker employee Lucas (Rory Cochrane) bets a chunk of the store's money, hoping to get a big return. When this plan fails, Empire Records falls into serious trouble, and the various other clerks, including lovely Corey (Liv Tyler) and gloomy Deb (Robin Tunney), must deal with the problem, among many other issues.

    Empire Records was released in 1995 and was directed by Allan Moyle from a script by Carol Heikkinen. The film also stars Maxwell Caulfield, Debi Mazar, Johnny Whitworth, Renée Zellweger and Ethan Embry.

    Hooper

    Synopsis: Sonny Hooper (Burt Reynolds) is getting too banged up to remain Hollywood's top stuntman, but he signs up as the stunt coordinator for a big-budget action movie with a pushy director (Robert Klein) and a clueless star (Adam West). Ready to retire from the physical abuse, Hooper is gearing up to make the film's climactic stunt his biggest ever, but cocky young stuntman Ski Chinski (Jan-Michael Vincent) aims to steal the glory with his more scientific, technology-oriented stunt methods.

    Hooper was released in 1978 and was directed by Hal Needham from a script by Bill Kerby and Thomas Rickman. The film also stars Sally Field, Brian Keith, John Marley, James Best and Terry Bradshaw.

    Sharky's Machine

    Synopsis: In this noirish nailbiter, Sharky (Burt Reynolds) is an undercover cop who is kicked downstairs to the vice squad. The disgraced cop holds gang leader Victor Scorelli (Vittorio Gassman) responsible for his demotion. While consigned to Vice, Sharky organizes a highly trained group of men willing to take on cases that others avoid.

    Sharky's Machine was released in 1981 and was directed by Burt Reynolds from a script by Gerald Di Pego. The film also stars Brian Keith, Charles Durning, Earl Holliman and Henry Silva.

    Singles

    Synopsis: In Seattle during the era of grunge music, the lives and relationships of a group of young people, all living in the same apartment building, go through a period of flux. Among them are waitress and aspiring architect Janet (Bridget Fonda), who finds herself obsessed with bad boy musician Cliff (Matt Dillon) ; Linda (Kyra Sedgwick), an emotionally fragile environmentalist on the look-out for love; and Steve (Campbell Scott), a quintessential nice guy who studies traffic patterns.

    Singles was released in 1992 and was written and directed by Cameron Crowe. The film also stars Sheila Kelley, Bill Pullman, James Le Gros, Eric Stoltz, Jeremy Piven and Tom Skerritt.
