Fading Gigolo Buy It! A Woody-Allen-style comedy in a Jewish neighborhood by director and actor John Turturro. Murray (Woody Allen) coaxes Fioravante (John Turturro), who works in a flower shop, to become a hired lover for rich middle-aged ladies, as a way of making some much needed cash after an out-of-the-blue request from his dermatologist (Sharon Stone). They share the money, he gets and Murray spends it on the black family, he lives with. But then Murray connects him with the widow Avigal, a devoted Jewess, who after two years still mourns her dead husband. With Murray acting as Fioravante's "manager", the duo quickly finds themselves caught up in the crosscurrents of love and money. Although many scenes begin as a comedy, some end on a very touching note. Also stars Vanessa Paradis, Liev Schreiber and Sofía Vergara.

Freedom Writers Buy It! Try to teach freshman English to students already written off by the school system! This film, an adaptation of Erin Gruwell's bestselling book, The Freedom Writers' Diaries, portrays the unconventional means, 23-year-old Gruwell (Hilary Swank) used to break through to her gang-hardened students. She comes to a southern California high school bubbling over with naive optimism, but quickly discovers that her unruly class isn't easily won over by her good intentions. After a few floundering attempts to connect with her students, Gruwell gives them the assignment of keeping journals about their own lives — an assignment, that the class bites into with relish, eventually bonding them together and pushing racial rivalries aside. A touch of "class", based on a true story!

From Russia with Love Buy It! Buy It! Directed with consummate skill by Terence Young, the 2nd James Bond spy thriller is considered to be the best of all. Certainly Sean Connery was never better as the dashing agent 007 whose latest mission takes him to Istanbul to retrieve a top-secret Russian decoding machine. His efforts are thwarted when he gets romantically distracted by a sexy Russian double agent (Daniela Bianchi) and is tracked by a lovely assassin (Lotte Lenya) with switchblade shoes and by a crazed killer (Robert Shaw) who clashes with Bond during the film's dazzling climax aboard the Orient Express. This is classic James Bond, before the gadgets, pyrotechnics and Roger Moore steered the movies away from the more realistic tone of the books by Ian Fleming. Plenty of suspense, action and one of the longest, most exciting fighting scenes ever staged.
