Scenes from a Mall

Bette Midler and Woody Allen star in director Paul Mazursky's comedy as a professional Los Angeles couple--Deborah (Midler) is the author of a best-selling self-help book about marriage and has been wed to successful lawyer Nick (Allen) for 16 years. They live a high-pressure professional life, complete with matching Saabs, two kids, a house in the hills, beepers, cell phones, and a constant barrage of client phone calls. To celebrate their anniversary, they decide to embark on a spending spree at the Beverly Center mall. But while there, each makes a startling revelation that rocks their marriage.
Sea of Love
(1990 Harold Becker 50:-)

Lonely, burnt-out NYPD detective Frank Keller (Al Pacino, in a Golden Globe-nominated performance) is on the hunt for a serial killer who uses personal ads to attract potential victims in director Harold Becker's taut, suspenseful thriller. Unfortunately, Frank falls hard for Helen (Ellen Barkin), the alluring top suspect in the case. Now, their white-hot attraction could save him -- or kill him.
Sense and Sensibility
(1995 Ang Lee 50:-)

svensk titel: Förnuft och Känsla

Jane Austen's classic tale of 19th-century etiquette and ethics chronicles the troubles and triumphs of the marriage-minded Dashwood sisters -- sensible oldest sibling Elinor (Emma Thompson) and her romantic younger sister, Marianne (Kate Winslet). While Marianne deftly charms two suitors (Alan Rickman and Greg Wise), Elinor must weather a circuitous courtship with an aspiring clergyman (Hugh Grant) of considerable reserve.
Shadows and Fog
(1991 Woody Allen 80:-)

Woody Allen's black-and-white curiosity piece is a mixture of influences — from German silent film expressionism to Franz Kafka's nightmare worlds to the contemporary fables of Wim Wenders.

Woody plays the nebbish clerk Kleinman, who is awakened in the middle of the night by a vigilante group who want him to help capture a serial killer on the loose. Kleinman reluctantly agrees, but when he gets to the street, the vigilantes are gone and Kleinmen spends most of the film wandering the shadowy back alleys in search of the citizen's brigade.

Meanwhile, a circus is in town. When sword-swallower Irmy (Mia Farrow) catches her creepy clown husband (John Malkovich) getting familiar with trapeze artist Marie (Madonna), she packs her bags and heads for town, where she meets up with Kleinman. This meeting sets up a number of plot lines that has Irmy befriending a trio of prostitutes (Jodie Foster, Lily Tomlin and Kathy Bates) at the local brothel and accepting $700 from a university student (John Cusack) who wants to sleep with her. She finally meets up with her husband, and they then find an abandoned baby which they decide to raise as their own.
Shirley Valentine
(1989 Lewis Gilbert 50:-)

Pauline Collins reprises a role she originated onstage in this Academy Award-nominated drama about Shirley Valentine, a housewife who decides in her middle age that there's more to life than stifling domesticity. An unplanned trip to Greece with a friend expands her horizons in ways she could never have predicted, allowing her to fall in love again beyond the bounds of marriage, find herself and grab the reins of her future.
Sleepless in Seattle
(1993 Nora Ephron 50:-)

svensk titel: Sömnlös i Seattle

Fate and a tenacious 8-year-old boy conspire to unite lovelorn widower Sam Baldwin (Tom Hanks) and unhappily engaged Annie Reed (Meg Ryan) in Nora Ephron's Oscar-nominated romantic comedy, inspired by the 1957 classic An Affair to Remember. When Annie hears Sam and his young son, Jonah (Ross Malinger), on a call-in radio show, she thinks she's found her soul mate. Jonah knows Annie is the one, but convincing his dad could take a little work.
Sleepy Eyes of Death: Chinese Jade
(1963 Tokozu Tanaka 100:-)

The master of the legendary "Full-Moon-Cut" technique, ronin Nemuri Kyoshiro (Raizo Ichikawa) wanders the Japanese countryside in search of adventure, and faces any challenge to come his way. In the first installment of the ongoing samurai series, Koshiro battles an army of henchmen after uncovering a nefarious plot between a treacherous Daimyo and an elusive smuggler. Later, while attempting to recover a treasured statue, Koshiro meets his match in the form of Chen Sun, a powerful monk and true martial arts master.
Sleepy Eyes of Death: Full Circle Killing
(1964 Yasuda Kimiyoshi 100:-)

A decapitation at the hands of the shogun's monstrous misbegotten son kicks off the action and draws nomadic Nemuri Kyoshiro (Raizô Ichikawa) into more sword-fighting adventures when he's blamed for the beheading. Meanwhile, the head-chopper's mother is busy knocking off the shogun's lawful heirs to secure the shogunate for her son. Though infused with moments of reflection, the accent is on gore in this solid entry from the episodic film series.
Sleepy Eyes of Death: Sword of Adventure
(1964 Misumi Kenji 100:-)

During a stroll through the crowds of Edo, a female pickpocket attempts to relieve Kyoshiro (Raizô Ichikawa) of his purse, only to be relieved of her clothes by a flurry of flashing steel.
Steel Magnolias
(1989 Herbert Ross 50:-)

Sally Field and Oscar nominee Julia Roberts star as mother-daughter duo M'Lynn and Shelby, part of a tight-knit circle of Louisiana women whose lives intersect at Truvy's (Dolly Parton) beauty salon, in this character-driven drama rife with both laughter and tears. Ouiser (Shirley MacLaine), Clairee (Olympia Dukakis) and Annelle (Daryl Hannah) round out the group that proves that with friends, you can survive anything.
Strange Days
(1995 Kathryn Bigelow 80:-)

It is 1999, and urban society is little more than a vast wasteland of anarchic violence. Seedy, burnt-out ex-cop Lenny Nero caters to the sensation-seeking citizens by dealing in "clips": virtual reality sequences where the user can "re-live" the experiences of another, including robberies, rape and murder. But Lenny's life is turned upside-down when two rabid cops, who want an incriminating clip that Lenny possesses, begin to pursue him. Furthermore, Lenny, with the help of female bodyguard Mace, is desperately searching throughout the chaotic enclaves of L.A. for his ex-girlfriend Faith, who he still loves.
