Night and the City 1950 Criterion Collection
Harry Fabian (Richard Widmark) is an American hustler trying to make a name for himself in London. Fabian's the sort of guy who's always looking for a new way to stick his hand in somebody else's back pocket, smiling, laughing and dispensing empty flattery as a distraction. He has an on-and-off romance of sorts with Mary Bristol (Gene Tierney), a nightclub owner who disapproves of Harry's scheming tendencies.

One day, Harry discovers what he believes to be a golden opportunity. He witnesses an argument between legendary wrestler Gregorius the Great (wrestling legend Stanislaus Zbyszko) and Gregorius' son Kristo (Herbert Lom) which reveals that Gregorius is unhappy with his son's methods of wrestling promotion. Kristo essentially runs the whole wrestling industry in London, and anyone who attempts to take a piece of that market is asking for trouble. However, Harry becomes convinced that he can get away with it if he manages to secure Gregorius' support...

Kid Galahad 1937
Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart play rival fight managers in this memorable indictment of corruption in the boxing ring with Wayne Morris in the title role, the first of his three turns as a pugilist (THE KID COMES BACK and THE KID FROM KOKOMO).

When a bellhop (Morris) knocks out highly touted heavyweight Chuck McGraw (William Haade) in defense of the honor of "Fluff" Phillips (Bette Davis), she dubs him Kid Galahad. Her boyfriend, Nick Donati (Robinson), decides to make the young man into a prize-fighter. Jealous because both Fluff and her sister appear interested in Kid, Nick arranges a bout with McGraw that he is so certain his fighter will lose that he assures the rival manager Turkey Morgan of the same. Of course, things don't work out as planned...

The Cheerleaders Collection: The Cheerleaders (1973), The Swinging Cheerleaders (1974), Revenge of the Cheerleaders (1976) 3 x DVD5

The Cheerleaders Collection
Aah, the cheerleader. A sexual icon of Americana since the 1950s, cheering was often the closest thing you could get to seeing a strip act in high school! Seeing the lovelies of your class parading around in mini-skirts and clingy tops, bouncing up and down, was too good of a feeling for exploitation to leave alone. Strangely, there were only a handful of cheerleader exploitation films, contrary to popular belief, and even fewer adult films spotlighting pom-pom girls.

This collection contains three DVDs:

-- "The Cheerleaders"
-- "Revenge of the Cheerleaders"
-- "The Swinging Cheerleaders"

3 x DVD5 | NTSC | 260 minutes | 12.6 Gb + 3% rec

The Jericho Mile (1979) DVD5
Michael Mann's debut feature is a story about striving for greatness even when there is no chance to succeed. Murphy (Peter Strauss) is a hardened convict serving a sentence for murder. The world of prison is breaking him down day by day, but Murphy finds hope in long distance running. When he's clocked by the prison warden and psychologist one afternoon, they realize Murphy is achieving Olympic-level times.

Murphy has one friend, a black man and cellmate neighbor (Richard Lawson) who runs afoul of the white supremacists led by Dr. D (Brian Dennehy, in one of his earliest roles). A murder takes place, leading to a race riot, and Murphy reluctantly finds himself in the middle of inmate tensions. The prisoners eventually bond, building a race track within the prison, thus giving Murphy a chance to make the Olympic team and run for freedom.

The Black Stallion 1979 Criterion Collection
Young Alec Ramsey and his father are on a ship somewhere off the coast of Africa. Alec is bored and while wandering around the ship witnesses how a group of men try to tame a beautiful black stallion. Later on, the boy gives the stallion a few sugar cubes and angers one of its guards. During a powerful storm the ship catches fire and people are forced to jump in the ocean. The stallion is also set free. While the ship slowly begins to sink, Alec and the stallion find each other in the freezing water and together reach a deserted island.
It takes a long time before some Italian fishermen discover Alec. During that time he and the stallion learn to trust each other and then become best friends. Upon their rescue, Alec and the magnificent horse continue their adventures when they join forces with ex-jockey and horse trainer Henry Dailey.

This is a remarkably beautiful looking film with great photography. There are so many stunning moments throughout the film with beautiful sunsets, the blue ocean, and other wonderful scenic elements. The film is a fantastic moving painting. The score for the film is beautiful and hypnotic. The music and photography are terrific together. The filmmaking is pure art: more poetic and reflective than commercial. It mesmerizes and creates a real sense of cinematic magic.
