Macbeth 1971 R, 140 min. Genre: Drama aka: The Tragedy of Macbeth
Director: Roman Polanski Cast: Jon Finch, Francesca Annis, Martin Shaw, Terence Bayler, John Stride, Nicholas Selby, Stephen Chase, Paul Shelley, Bernard Archard, Maisie MacFarquhar, Andrew Laurence, Frank Wylie
This is, perhaps, the best of the films made about the William Shakespeare play, which tells the story of Scottish nobleman Macbeth (Jon Finch) who wants power and is driven in his quest by his mad wife Lady Macbeth (Francesca Annis) and many prophecies. Violent, but well told.

The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash 1978 N/R, 75 min. Genre: Comedy / Musical
Director: Eric Idle, Gary Weis Cast: Eric Idle, John Halsey, Ricky Fataar, Neil Innes, Michael Palin, George Harrison, Bianca Jagger, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, Gwen Taylor, Henry Woolf, Ron Wood, Terence Bayler
Monty Pythoner Eric Idle's parody of the Beatles phenomenon is brilliant and a must for fans. The mockumentary follows the The Rutles–-Dirk (Eric Idle), Barry (John Halsey), Stig, (Ricky Fataar), and Nasty (Neil Innes)–a Beatles-like group as they rise to success from their early days in Liverpool to worldwide fame. Songs include "Hold My Hand," 'Love Life," "Get Up and Go," "Yellow Submarine Sandwich," and many more.
