Dressed in strange clothes and speaking no English, a mysterious young woman is arrested in the English countryside. But a sympathetic aristocrat welcomes the young woman into her home, believing that she is actually a foreign princess. And when high society comes calling, everyone falls under the spell of the irresistible Princess Caraboo. But is she a royal treasure or a royal imposter? The real-life mystery unfolds with comedy and romance as this "captivating plot... keeps you guessing until the film's last moment. A splendid surprise!" (Michael Medved, Sneak Previews)

Gremlins is a whee of a film (if you don't mind the occasional gross-out) from producer Steven Spielberg, writer Chris Columbus, and director Joe Dante. Zach Galligan is the young man whose inventor father (Hoyt Axton) gives him an odd Christmas present: a tiny, furry creature that comes with a set of rules: don't get him wet, don't feed him after midnight, and keep him away from direct sunlight. But Galligan breaks the first rule and the damp little critter pops out a dozen little offspring.

It's Awesome! Totally Awesome! Fast times at Ridgemont High, directed by Amy Heckerling (Clueless), is simply a modern cult classic. First-time screenwriter Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire), went undercover as a high school student and came back with the straight dope on sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, while capturing some of the most memorable screen characters ever.
