Hayao Miyazaki’s international breakthrough is an epic cinematic marvel. Infected by a deadly curse after killing a god, young warrior Ashitaka heads west in search of a cure. He stumbles upon a bitter conflict between Lady Eboshi, the proud people of Iron Town, and the enigmatic Princess Mononoke, a girl raised by wolves and who will stop at nothing to prevent humans from destroying her home, and the forest spirits and animal gods who live there. Princess Mononoke resists an easy dichotomy of good versus evil and was the first Miyazaki film that incorporated computer-generated imagery alongside traditional hand-drawn animation.

Pulitzer Prize winner James Agee adapted the 1953 novel by Davis Grubb for this stylish and evocative suspense drama, which was the only feature directed by Oscar -winning actor Charles Laughton (The Private Life of Henry VIII, 1933). Robert Mitchum is Harry Powell, a remorseless murderer who travels the countryside in the guise of a preacher. He sets his sights on the widow (Shelley Winters) and children of a former cellmate, who may hold the key to a hidden fortune. Working in black-and-white with cinematographer Stanley Cortez (The Magnificent Ambersons, 1942), Laughton creates a dream-like world of danger for the children, anchored by the performance of screen legend Lillian Gish as their potential savior.
