The Librarian: Quest for the Spear starring Noah Wyle, Kyle MacLachlan and Bob Newhart. Noah Wyle is Flynn Carsen, a professional student who refuses to leave university and find a job. Kind of like Johnny Lechner, but not as pathetic. Finally forced to get a job Flynn applies to be Librarian for the Metropolitan Library where such artifacts as Excalibur and Pandora's Box are secretly kept. After a Library burglary Flynn has to recover the Spear of Destiny. A fun and goofy movie with 15 additional minutes not shown on the TNT network.

Stripes starring Bill Murray, John Candy, Harold Ramis, Warren Oates, Sean Young. You probably know about this one. Includes six deleted scenes.

Office Space starring Ron Livingston, Stephen Root, Gary Cole, Jennifer Aniston, John C. McGinley, Diedrich Bader. You probably know about this one, too. Peter Gibbons goes to a hypnotist and starts to ignore his job and enjoy life. Hilarity ensues; along with a car wreck, fax abuse, gratuitous Aniston appearances, arson, gratuitious Diedrich Bader appearances, and stapler theft.

Superman Returns starring Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth, Frank Langella, Eva Marie Saint, Parker Posey, Kevin Spacey. Superman returns to Earth after a five year search for his home planet and saves people from death and destruction.

Let's Rock Again starring Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros. Former Clash frontman Joe Strummer goes on tour with his band to promote their new album, Global A Go-Go. "Strummer dispels his punk persona to reveal a die-hard performer whose main objective is simple - get his music heard and bread his record even." Filmed by Dick Rude, who you may remember as Duke in Repo Man.

The White Diamond directed by Werner Herzog. In 1992 Dr. Graham Dorrington took a man-powered dirigible on a scientific expedition across the treetops Guyana's Amazon rain forest. A "stupid, meaningless accident" in the dirigible killed Dorrington's longtime pal. Twelve years later Dorrington tries again with a uniquely shaped balloon (shaped like a diamond) and brings Herzog along to document the expedition and uniquely film the spectacular scenery.
