THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU
In this wildly original adventure-comedy, internationally famous oceanographer Steve Zissou (Bill Murray), a self-involved, Jacques Cousteau-like filmmaker, and his crew set sail on a expedition to hunt down the mysterious, elusive Jaguar Shark that killed Zissou's partner during the documentary filming of their latest adventure. They are joined on their voyage by a young airline co-pilot, who may or may not be Zissou's son (Owen Wilson), a beautiful journalist (Cate Blanchett) assigned to write a profile of Zissou, and his estranged wife and co-producer, Eleanor (Anjelica Huston). They face overwhelming complications including pirates, kidnapping, and bankruptcy.

CHINATOWN
Polanski's brooding, Oscar winning noir may be cinema's most resonant study of personal and political corruption. Jack Nicholson stars as private eye J.J. Gittes who follows the glamorous socialite Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway) into a hotbed of scandal corruption and murder in 1930s Los Angeles. One of the greatest, most completely satisfying crime films of all time.

LA CAGE AUX FOLLES
After son Laurent (Rémi Laurent) turns up and announces his impending nuptials, transvestite-nightclub owner Renato (Ugo Tognazzi) and his drag-queen star attraction, Albin (Michel Serrault), agree to keep their gay lifestyle under wraps for the benefit of the bride-to-be's ultraconservative parents. When the prospective in-laws come to dinner, Renato and Albin masquerade as a straight, married couple -- with farcical results. The comic turns in the plot are achieved with such clockwork timing that sometimes we're laughing at what's funny and sometimes we're just laughing at the movie's sheer comic invention.
