HighlanderHe fought his first battle on the Scottish Highlands in 1536. He will fight his greatest battle on the streets of New York City in 1986. His name is Connor MacLeod. He is immortal. Born in the Highlands of Scotland in 1518, Connor Macleod played by Christopher Lambert, is immortal. When he is wounded in battle but does not die, he is banished from his village. He meets another like himself, Ramirez, Sean Connery, who teaches him swordsmanship--the only way to kill another immortal is to take his head--and the ways of the immortals. Modern-day New York is the location of "The Gathering," where Connor and the few remaining immortals must battle to the last for "The Prize." THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!The soundtrack has some of the best songs recorded by the music group Queen. I do believe it is a very good feature which benefits from deeply emotional characterizations and tight complex story.
Ghost
Patrick Swayze plays a ghost who teams with a psychic (Whoopi Goldberg) to uncover the truth behind his murder and rescue his sweetheart (Demi Moore) from a similar fate.
A touching love story, a bright comedy, an astonishing supernatural tale, and a sleek mystery thriller all at the same time. I also have to mention the famous clay pottery wheel love scene featuring the song "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers.
FrankenstineRobert De Niro stars in Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. True to the original, here is the story of a young doctor whose obsession with death leads him to create a life. But his "creature," crafted form the bodies of convicts and the brain of a brilliant scientist, is a hideous mockery of humanity. When the creature realizes he will never be accepted by men, he seeks revenge on Dr. Frankenstein and his family.Perfectly comparable to the book, an excellent cast and a brillant, visually stunning movie.
EntrapmentWhen a priceless Rembrandt is stolen in NY, the evidence points to a solitary master thief (Sean Connery), who is about to meet the insurance company's most cunning- and seductive- investigator (Catherine Zeta-Jones).

An excellent movie.
The Dukes Of Hazzard
With the General Lee tanked up for car-crashin action and with more laughs than a dog has fleas, this big-screen version of the long-running TV series is big-time fun. Johnny Knoxville, Seann William Scott, Jessica Simpson, Burt Reynolds, Willie Nelson and more help keep the pedal to the metal for 100-MPH laughs. Stars, comedy, spills and thrills, its got it all, y'all!
Jessica is extremely gorgeous, and the Duke brothers are very hot. Above all else, the General Lee is sexy as hell!

Their idnappers have one demand: Jack must heist $100 million from the ultra-secure system he designed. And they'll be watching every move he makes.

The BodyguardWhen a famous pop singer (Houston) receives threatening notes, her manager hires a bodyguard (Costner). The bodyguard takes his job to the extreme because he was once a member of Reagan’s secret service but wasn’t on hand when there was an attack on the president. The bodyguard and the singer develop feelings for each other, and she begins to realize that she may be in more danger than she had originally thought. Never let your guard down and never fall in love. Its a movie with snarky comebacks, desirable passion, and excellent musical selections. I highly recomend this movie even though I must admit the acting is quite mild.
