This is John Huston's final film effort–he died before it was released. One of Huston's best films, this is the adaptation of a James Joyce short story about the reminiscences of a group of friends attending a party. Spinsters Aunt Kate (Helena Carroll) and Aunt Julia (Cathleen Delany) live in Dublin and are giving a New Year's Eve party in 1904. A young couple, Gabriel and Gretta Conroy (Donal McCann and Anjelica Huston), are enjoying the party until Gretta is prodded by Kate and Julia to remember her long-lost lover. As secrets from Greta's past are revealed, Gabriel begins to question the lack of passion in his own life.

This is the film biography of French artist Henri Toulouse-Lautrec (Jose Ferrer). Because of his own physical growth deformity, he sought the outcasts of society and cafe frequenters where he painted their likenesses on canvas. The film catches Paris of that time in beautiful fashion. Then there's the terrific theme song. In addition to two Academy Awards, the film was nominated for five others, including Best Picture, Actor (Ferrer), Supporting Actress (Colette Marchand), and Director.

They find a rich gold field, and their problems increase as greed comes between them. Great line by Gold Hat (Alfonso Bedoya): "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges." John Huston won the Best Director Academy Award for this film, and Walter Huston (John Huston's father) won for Best Supporting Actor. An Oscar was also received for Best Writing, and the film was nominated for Best Picture.

World War II is about to begin, and the former British Consul in Mexico, Geoffrey Firmin (Albert Finney), is drinking himself to death over the state of the world and the infidelity of his former wife Yvonne (Jacqueline Bisset). Yvonne arrives in Mexico with Geoffrey's brother Hugh (Anthony Andrews) hoping to stop his drinking and to talk him into coming to the United States. But, Geoffrey has other plans for his future, and they don't include redemption. This is Malcolm Lowry's autobiography. Finney's performance is great, and he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.

This mystery/thriller was not received well the first time around but had a better viewing after re-editing and re-releasing.

This is the film adaptation of Flannery O'Connor's philosophical novel. The story traces the life of World War II veteran Hazel Motes (Brad Dourif) as he returns to his home in the Deep South and finds his parents' home boarded up. Searching for spiritual meaning, Hazel forms his own Church of Truth and, despite being the grandson of a religious zealot (John Huston), Hazel becomes the preacher in his Christ-less church.
