Love And Death (1975)  
Directed by Woody Allen  
Rated PG <imdb>
Woody Allen takes on the Russian novel and falls in love... Then he dies, too. Arguably his most ambitious film, it's been largely ignored because it's also hilarious. A pre-Annie Hall Diane Keaton joins in the fun, nailing Tolstoy to the wall with battlefields, duels, doomed marriages and a remarkably inept attempt on Napoleon's life. Put a bookmark in your tattered War and Peace and see for yourself.

Dead Poets Society (1989) 
Directed by Peter Weir 
Rated PG <imdb>
Oh Captain, My Captain... There is nothing more dangerous than a teenager exposed to the passions and sorrows of those who choose to live as poets. The boys who lead this film are being groomed to rule the world, not to experience it. And any teacher who dares his charges to face death and feel each moment of their lives is only courting danger. Get up on your desk and celebrate National Poetry Month with defiance.

Wee Willie Winkie (1937)  
Directed by John Ford  
Rated PG <imdb>
The legendary director of such gritty fare as The Searchers and Stagecoach makes the perfect Shirley Temple film, setting her otherworldly sweetness and curls against a grim backdrop of weary British soldiers occupying a hostile foreign land. Singing and dancing is kept at a minimum so you'll have to settle for a genuinely uplifting story, short on cloying sentiment. Shirley's favorite!

Micmacs (2009)
Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet 
Rated R <imdb>
Why do films exposing the corrupt humanity of death-dealing arms merchants always have to be so dreary and depressing? The director of Amelie has found another way. A ruined victim of random violence teams with a colorful band of misfits to pit the manufacturer of the bullet in his brain against the maker of the landmine that took his father's life with one brave shenanigan after another. In French with English subtitles.

Captain America (2011) 
Directed by Joe Johnston 
Rated PG-13 <imdb>
Cap is the kind of hero that other heroes look up to. But at the beginning of World War II, he was just a scrawny kid, unfit to serve. Not content to sit at home with freedom on the line, he will endure agonizing punishment to unleash his potential. He will stand as a symbol of decency against thuggery and lend a hand to those who fight for the inalienable rights of all humankind. But not every soldier gets to come home to his best girl...

THX-1138 (1971)
Directed by George Lucas 
Rated R <imdb>
This film, shot on location in the future, follows the flight of fugitive Robert Duvall from the point of view of   the police state. In the video labyrinth, good citizens are drug-addled and empty because emotional attachment is a crime. But why? Despite the bleak set-up, there is a strange sense of humor embedded in the hopelessness. Can you spot the prisoner who speaks in Nixon speeches? One of the first independent American films of the modern era was also the directorial debut of the man behind Star Wars.
