001- Tigrero: A Film That Was Never Made
In the 1940s, director Sam Fuller dove deep into the jungles of the Amazon to film what he hoped would become a John Wayne classic. There, he got to know the Karaja Indians, who generously allowed him to make his movie in their community. Joined by groundbreaking helmers Jim Jarmusch and director Mika Kaurismaki, Fuller relives the challenges he faced during that time and ruminates on his life as a filmmaker.
002- Map of the Human Heart
Two men -- an Inuit named Avik (Jason Scott Lee) and a mapmaker (John Cusack) -- compete for the affections of an alluring and mysterious woman, Albertine (Anne Parillaud). Their battle for supremacy perseveres even in the face of illness, war and other major obstacles. Co-stars Patrick Bergin, Clotilde Courau and Jeanne Moreau.
003- The Incredible Hulk
Edward Norton stars as Bruce Banner in this version of the classic comic book tale about a doctor who searches for a cure for his exotic condition, which causes him to transform into a huge green monster when under duress. Drawing closer to finding a remedy, Dr. Banner becomes sidetracked as he's pursued first by the military and then by a rival monster known as the Abomination. Liv Tyler, Tim Roth and William Hurt co-star.
004- Feast of Love
Set in a small, idyllic Oregon community, veteran director Robert Benton's (Kramer vs. Kramer) charming ensemble drama features different lives intersecting at a coffee shop as they explore the depths of love and loss, joy and pain, and everything in between. Based on the popular Charles Baxter novel, this touching tale stars Morgan Freeman, Greg Kinnear, Selma Blair, Radha Mitchell and Billy Burke.
005- Red
Krzysztof Kieslowski strikes again with Red, the final film in his "three colors" trilogy. In this meditation on the need for passion and human connection, an accident brings together two very different people -- Valentine (Irene Jacob), a model, and Joseph (Jean-Louis Trintignant), a retired judge. Since love chooses to pair people at random, theirs becomes a fated, deeply improbable, but true romance.

011- La Strada: Special Edition

An ad salesman, Dan (Dennis Quaid), must take a junior position after a corporate shakedown. Worse, he now reports to a much-younger boss, Carter (Topher Grace), a business school grad who espouses a sales approach branded Synergy that's at odds with Dan's old-school style. Although they don't see eye to eye, the two must get along, a mandate made more difficult when Carter becomes smitten with Dan's daughter (Scarlett Johansson).

After offing a nightclub owner, Costello has two big problems: his double-crossing employer, who now wants him dead, and the dogged police investigator who's determined to rein him in.

Having already cultivated an offbeat reputation among high society in 1930s London, Laura Henderson (Judi Dench) embarks on her newest adventure: the transformation of an old movie theater into the Windmill, a space that will host, of all things, a nude musical revue. Members of her social circle don't quite know what to make of Mrs. Henderson's controversial enterprise, a shocking venture that has everyone up in arms.
017- I Vitelloni
Federico Fellini directs this tale of a group of young men who are in no hurry to leave their small town. Funded by their families, Fausto (Franco Fabrizi), Leopoldo (Leopoldo Trieste), Alberto (Alberto Sordi), Riccardo (Riccardo Fellini) and Moraldo (Franco Interlenghi) enjoy days of frivolous fun, but not without apprehension: Are they missing out on all that life has to offer? Eventually, one of the men breaks out of his self-imposed routine.
018- Yana's Friends
The Gulf War serves as the backdrop for this drama set in 1991 Israel.

It's up to their grandmother (Gunn Wallgren) to infuse joy into their existence.
