001- Once Upon a Time in America
Director Sergio Leone's sprawling crime epic follows a group of Jewish mobsters (including Robert De Niro, James Woods and Elizabeth McGovern) who rise in the ranks of organized crime in 1920s New York. Their story unfolds in flashbacks as ringleader Noodles (De Niro) returns to Brooklyn some 30 years later to reunite and reminisce with his cohorts. Nominated for two Golden Globes, this gritty drama was Leone's last directorial effort.
002- Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky
When his drug-addicted girlfriend commits suicide, Riki-Oh offs her dealer and finds himself locked up in a prison where the accused have no rights and very little hope. The other inmates torture Riki-Oh with a stunning variety of implements (which include pretty much anything at hand), but he fights back as if his life depended on it -- which it does!
003- Death Note
When he discovers a mystical notebook that grants him the power to kill anyone he wants by merely writing their name, a brilliant student named Light (Tatsuya Fujiwara) develops a god complex and attempts to create utopia. Now, it's up to ingenious detective "L" (Ken'ichi Matsuyama) to stop the supernatural vigilante. Directed by Shusuke Kaneko, this eerie thriller also stars Asaka Seto, Erika Toda and Shigeki Hosokawa.
004- Fargo
Frances McDormand earned an Oscar for her turn as pregnant Sheriff Marge Gunderson, who's sharper than her Northern Minnesota dialect suggests. The intrepid Gunderson bangs on doors and asks questions to unravel a kidnapping plot and the string of murders it provokes. McDormand receives grand support from William H. Macy as a car dealer who conspires with hotheaded kidnappers Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare.
005- The English Patient
Adapted from Michael Ondaatje's acclaimed novel set against the backdrop of World War II, Anthony Mingehlla's Oscar-winning drama stars Ralph Fiennes as a horribly burned pilot who recounts a tale of doomed romance to the nurse tending him (Juliette Binoche). As his story is revealed via flashback, so too are secrets about his identity and the depth of his passion for the woman he loved (Kristin Scott Thomas). Willem Dafoe co-stars.
006- Ed Gein
Ed Gein (Steve Railsback) was America's first famous serial killer and the real-life inspiration for Psycho, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the Silence of the Lambs. In this psychological drama, director Chuck Parello explores the mind of the lonely Wisconsin farmer without the visual gore in a chillingly accurate portrait -- covering everything from his domineering mother to his arrest after a decade of horrific murders.
007- How Green Was My Valley
Recounted via the memories of the Morgan family's youngest son (Roddy McDowall), How Green Was My Valley chronicles 50 years in the lives of a close-knit clan of Welsh coal miners. As the years pass, the Morgans try to survive unionization, a lengthy strike and a mining accident; meanwhile, their hometown and its venerable traditions slowly disintegrate. John Ford's gentle masterpiece won five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.
008- The Magic Blade: Shaw Bros.
Director Yuen Chor's stylish saga follows two rival swordsmen who must set aside their differences and work together to prevent a villainous warlord from getting his hands on an ancient artifact known as the Peacock Dart -- the ultimate weapon. Lung Ti, Lieh Lo, Li Ching and Lily Li star in this swordplay classic featuring opulent sets, exquisite costuming, inventive fight choreography and action galore.
009- Portrait in Black
In love with her invalid husband's physician (Anthony Quinn), beautiful Sheila Cabot (Lana Turner) persuades him to murder her rich spouse in this glossy thriller. Believing they've committed the perfect crime, the lovers are shocked when an anonymous missive turns up congratulating them on the killing -- and soon Sheila and David have more blood on their hands. Will a guilty conscience drive one of them to turn on the other?
010- Shutter
Tun (Ananda Everingham), a photographer, and his girlfriend, Jane (Natthaweeranuch Thongmee), run over a young girl after a night of drinking and decide to flee the scene. The couple is haunted by the memory of their deadly choice, and soon, they notice their photos contain strange ghostly shapes. When several of Tun's friends die in mysterious circumstances, they realize that they may be haunted by more than just bad memories.
011- The Killers: Criterion Collection: Disc 1
This disc contains the original 1946 Robert Siodmak version starring Burt Lancaster as "the Swede." Also included iis a short film version of the story directed by Andrei Tarkovsky.
012- The Killers: Criterion Collection: Disc 2
This disc contains the 1964 Don Siegel version starring Lee Marvin and Clu Gulager as a pair of gunmen scouring a seedy underworld.
013- The Picture of Dorian Gray
In Victorian England, vain aristocrat Dorian Gray (Hurd Hatfield) becomes increasingly hedonistic and corrupt. When his portrait is painted, Gray makes a Faustian bargain: The picture will age while he stays young and handsome -- an evil pact that eventually leads to murder. This classic drama based on a novel by Oscar Wilde won an Oscar for Best Cinematography, and Angela Lansbury took home a Golden Globe for her role as Gray's jilted lover.
014- Kamikaze Girls
Based on Novala Takemoto's best-selling Japanese novel Shimotsuma Story, this colorful live-action comedy from writer-director Tetsuya Nakashima tells a tale of unlikely friendship. When she meets rough-and-tumble biker chick Ichigo Shirayuri (Anna Tschiya), the refined Momoko Ryugasaki (Kyoko Fukada) is forever changed. But can a big-city girl who adores 18th century France, frilly dresses and parasols save her new friend from certain doom?
015- The Bride with White Hair 2
Lien Ni-Chang (Brigitte Lin) -- the would-be bride whose hair turned white when her lover, Cho Yi-Hang (Leslie Cheung), betrayed her -- is back for more bloodshed in this action-packed sequel to the Ronny Yu classic. Still enraged and full of hate, Ni-Chang roams the countryside to take out the last surviving leaders of powerful clans. Meanwhile, Yi-Hang searches for a magical flower that will reverse Ni-Chang's unfortunate condition.
016- Eraserhead
Auteur David Lynch sets this early effort in an industrial wasteland of a town, where young factory worker Henry Spencer (Jack Nance) dwells alongside grotesque characters and bizarre creatures -- not the least of which is his own child. Henry's girlfriend, Mary X (Charlotte Stewart), announces that she's expecting, but the real surprise comes when she gives birth to a deformed, squalling aberration -- and leaves the mutant in Henry's care.
017- Time After Time
Jack the Ripper (David Warner) is back to continue his ghastly reign of terror; this time, he's found his way to the late 1970s, intent on taking care of unfinished business. H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) uses a time machine to pursue Jack into the future, where he meets Amy (Mary Steenburgen), a bank clerk who teaches Wells about life in the '70s while helping him hunt for Jack.
018- Moonlighting: Seasons 1 & 2: Disc 6
This disc includes the following episodes: "Witness for the Execution," "Sleep Talkin' Guy," "Funeral for a Door Nail" and "Camille."
019- Desperado / El Mariachi
Writer-director Robert Rodriguez's indie debut and his big-budget follow-up are both featured on this disc. Sundance Film Festival winner El Mariachi chronicles the travails of a traveling musician (Carlos Gallardo) who's been mistaken for an assassin who carries his weapons in a guitar case -- and whom the local crime lord wants dead. In Desperado, the mariachi (Antonio Banderas) returns -- this time seeking revenge. Salma Hayek co-stars.
020- The Howling
After a traumatic experience at work, TV news reporter Karen White (Dee Wallace) checks into a plush California resort called The Colony for some peace and quiet. On her first night there, the howling outside her window leads the reporter to discover that she's in a colony all right … a colony of werewolves! Rife with in-jokes, horror film references and genuine scares, this John Sayles-penned howl fest is a werewolf classic.

Opinionated-Gal said… - Just FYI: The Netflix search engine has been rigged to bring up "The Water Horse" EVERY time anyone puts the word "the" in the search engine. To thwart this obvious new form of payola, don't use the word "the." You'll get what you're looking for without it.
This has been going on for weeks now, and gawd knows how much unadvertised-as-such advertising this has generated for that film. It might be a good one; I just despise the sneaky stealth promotion and hope to discourage it in the future.
