Casino Royale (1967)
Five directors (including John Huston) crafted this wonderful, hilarious, all-star spoof of Ian Fleming's 007 stories. Sir James Bond (David Niven) comes out of retirement to squash an evil organized crime ring and pass on his top-spy status to his blundering son (Woody Allen). The top-notch cast includes Orson Welles, Peter Sellers, Deborah Kerr, Usula Andress and many more.
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
In director Stanley Kubrick's blackly comedic send-up of the nuclear age, deranged American general Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) leads an attack against the Russians that sets the stage for Armageddon. In a series of virtuoso comic performances, Peter Sellers plays an impotent U.S. president, a harried British captain and an ex-Nazi bomb maker. George C. Scott and Slim Pickens also appear in this classic Oscar-nominated satire.
Juno (2007)
Facing an unplanned pregnancy, teenage Juno (Ellen Page) devises a plan to locate the proverbial perfect parents to adopt her baby. But the seemingly ideal couple Juno chooses still has some growing up to do. Now, everyone in Juno's world must do a little soul-searching. Michael Cera co-stars while Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner play the pair of affluent yuppies anxious for a child in this offbeat coming-of-age comedy, which won the 2008 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
Oldboy (2003)
With no clue how he came to be imprisoned, drugged and tortured for 15 years -- and no one to hold accountable for his suffering -- a desperate businessman seeks revenge on his captors, relying on assistance from a friendly waitress. Korean director Chan Wook Park -- a former philosophy student and Hitchcock devotee -- uses his influences to create a mesmerizing psychological drama with a resolution that will leave you speechless. Korean with English subtitles.
Semi-Pro (2008)
Will Ferrell stars as Jackie Moon, owner and coach of the Flint Michigan Tropics -- the team with the worst record in the renegade American Basketball Association. With the franchise on the brink of collapse, can Jackie's squad rebound to salvation? Director Kent Alterman's entertaining comedy (set in 1976) also stars Woody Harrelson, Maura Tierney, Andre Benjamin and Andy Richter.
