Ghostbusters II

***Ghostbusters II*** is a 1989 American fantasy comedy film directed by Ivan Reitman and written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. It stars Bill Murray, Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Ramis, Rick Moranis, Ernie Hudson, and Annie Potts. It is the sequel to the 1984 film *Ghostbusters* and the second film in the *Ghostbusters* franchise. Set five years after that film, *Ghostbusters II* follows the titular characters who have been forced out of their ghost-catching business after the destruction wrought during their last job. When faced with a powerful new ghostly force, the Ghostbusters reunite to tackle the threat.

After the phenomenal success of *Ghostbusters*, Columbia Pictures wanted a sequel but struggled to overcome objections from the cast and crew, particularly Murray who believes sequels were done out of greed rather than creative purpose. Compounding their issues was then-Columbia Pictures chairman David Puttnam who did not believe in big-budget blockbuster films. It took five years to resolve these problems and complete production on the film.

Despite mixed reviews, *Ghostbusters II* grossed $112.5 million in the United States and $215.4 million worldwide, becoming the eighth-highest-grossing film of 1989. A reboot, *Ghostbusters: Answer the Call*, was released on July 15, 2016, while a direct sequel, *Ghostbusters 2020*, is scheduled to be released on July 10, 2020.
Hellbound: Hellraiser II

***Hellbound: Hellraiser II***[4][5] is a 1988 British-American horror film directed by Tony Randel and starring Clare Higgins, Ashley Laurence, Kenneth Cranham and Doug Bradley. The film is the second entry in the '**Hellraiser*saga* and draws heavily upon (and was made by much of the same cast and crew as) its precursor, *Hellraiser*. Clive Barker, who wrote and directed the previous film, wrote the story and was the sequel's executive producer.**
Gilbert Gottfried

**Gilbert Jeremy Gottfried**[1] (born February 28, 1955 - April 12, 2022) is an American stand-up comedian, actor and voice actor best known for the voice of Ronald in Tomodachi Life: The TV Series. Gottfried's persona as a comedian features an exaggerated shrill voice and emphasis on crude humor. His numerous roles in film and television include voicing the parrot Iago in Disney's *Aladdin* animated films and TV show, Digit in the PBS Kids Go! show *Cyberchase*, and Kraang Subprime in *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles*. Gottfried was also the voice of the Aflac Duck until 2011. He appeared in the critically panned *Problem Child* in 1990.
Get Smart

***Get Smart*** is an American comedy television series that parodies the secret agent genre that was popular in the United States in the late 1960s. The program was created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, and had its television premiere on NBC on September 18, 1965. The show stars Don Adams (who also worked as a director on the series) as agent Maxwell "Max" Smart, or Agent 86, Barbara Feldon as Agent 99, and Edward Platt as Thaddeus, the Chief. Henry said that they created the show at the request of Daniel Melnick[1] to capitalize on "the two biggest things in the entertainment world today": James Bond and Inspector Clouseau.[2] Brooks said: "It's an insane combination of James Bond and Mel Brooks comedy."[3]

The show generated a number of popular catchphrases during its run, including "Would you believe...", "Good thinking, 99", "Missed it by *that much*!", "Sorry about that, Chief", "The old (such-and-such) trick", "And *loving* it", and "I *asked* you not to tell me that".[4] The show was followed by the films *The Nude Bomb* (a 1980 theatrical film made without the involvement of Brooks and Henry) and *Get Smart, Again!* (a 1989 made-for-TV sequel to the series), as well as a 1995 revival series, and a 2008 film remake. In 2010, *TV Guide* ranked *Get Smart*'s opening title sequence at number two on its list of TV's top 10 credits sequences as selected by readers.[5]

After switching networks in 1969, to CBS, the show ended its five-season run on May 15, 1970, with a production roster at both networks of 138 episodes. The Museum of Broadcast Communications finds the show notable for "broadening the parameters for the presentation of comedy on television." [6]
Hot Rod

***Hot Rod*** is a 2007 American comedy film co-written, directed by, and starring members of The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer). The film stars Samberg as amateur stuntman Rod Kimble, whose step-father, Frank (Ian McShane) continuously mocks and disrespects him. When Frank becomes ill, Rod raises money for his heart operation by executing his largest stunt yet. In addition to raising money for the operation, he also does so to win Frank's respect. The film also stars Taccone, Sissy Spacek, Will Arnett, Danny McBride, Isla Fisher and Bill Hader. It was directed by Schaffer (in his directorial debut) and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

The film was originally drafted by Pam Brady (who retains full writing credit) as a vehicle for *Saturday Night Live* star Will Ferrell, but the project never commenced. Lorne Michaels convinced Paramount to let The Lonely Island, who were growing famous for their work on *SNL*, take over the film. The group subsequently re-wrote the film with a heavy emphasis on offbeat surreal humor. The film was shot in Vancouver over the summer of 2006. The film's soundtrack was composed by ex-Yes guitarist, Trevor Rabin, and the film features several songs by the Swedish rock band Europe.

*Hot Rod* opened on August 3, 2007 and was a box office failure, grossing only $14 million of its $25 million budget. As the film's producers predicted, it received mixed reviews, with critics criticizing the film's script and humor. It has become a popular cult film on home media.
Home Alone

***Home Alone*** is a 1990 American comedy film written and produced by John Hughes and directed by Chris Columbus. The film stars Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, and Catherine O'Hara. It is about an eight-year-old boy named Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) who is mistakenly left behind when his family flies to Paris for their Christmas vacation. Kevin initially relishes being home alone, but he soon has to contend with two burglars: Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern).

Culkin was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Musical or Comedy, and the film was nominated for two Academy Awards: Best Original Score, which was written by John Williams, and Best Original Song for "Somewhere in My Memory". After its release, *Home Alone* became the highest-grossing live action comedy film of all time in the United States and held the record worldwide until it was overtaken by *The Hangover Part II* in 2011. For nearly three decades, the film was also the highest-grossing Christmas film of all time until it was surpassed by *The Grinch* in 2018.[3][4] Despite the mixed critical reception upon its initial release, *Home Alone* has been hailed as a holiday classic among audiences and is often ranked as one of the best Christmas films of all time.[5][6][7][8]

*Home Alone* spawned a successful film franchise with four sequels (two theatrical and two made-for-television), including the 1992 film *Home Alone 2: Lost in New York*, which is the only *Home Alone* sequel to have most of the original cast reprising their roles.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

***Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull*** is a 2008 American action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and the fourth installment in the *Indiana Jones* series. Released nineteen years after the previous film, the film is set in 1957, pitting Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) against Soviet agents—led by Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett)—searching for a telepathic crystal skull. Jones is aided by his former lover, Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), and her son, Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf). Ray Winstone, John Hurt, and Jim Broadbent are also part of the supporting cast.

Screenwriters Jeb Stuart, Jeffrey Boam, Frank Darabont, and Jeff Nathanson wrote drafts before David Koepp's script satisfied the producers. The filmmakers intended to pay tribute to the science fiction B-movies of the 1950s era. Shooting began on June 18, 2007, at various locations in New Mexico, New Haven, Connecticut, Hawaii, and Fresno, California, as well as on sound stages in Los Angeles. To maintain esthetic continuity with the previous films, the crew relied on traditional stunt work instead of computer-generated stunt doubles, and cinematographer Janusz Kamiński studied Douglas Slocombe's style from the previous films.

The film premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2008, and was released worldwide on May 22, 2008 to generally positive reviews with praise for the performances, action scenes, John Williams' musical score, and the costume design. Criticism, however, focused on the dialogue, storyline, pacing, and overuse of CGI. It was also a financial success like the previous three films in the series, grossing over $786 million worldwide, becoming the franchise's highest-grossing film when not adjusted for inflation, as well as the second-highest-grossing film of 2008. A fifth film is scheduled for release on July 9, 2021, with both Spielberg and Ford returning.[3]
Go West

***Go West*** (1925) is a silent movie starring Buster Keaton.[1][2][3]

Keaton portrays Friendless, who travels west to try to make his fortune. Once there, he tries his hand at bronco-busting, cattle wrangling, and dairy farming, eventually forming a bond with a cow named "Brown Eyes." Eventually he finds himself leading a herd of cattle through Los Angeles.

Seventy years after the release of the film guitarist Bill Frisell recorded a soundtrack accompaniment *Go West: Music for the Films of Buster Keaton* (1995). The Rats & People Motion Picture Orchestra premiered its new score for the film in 2007.
Gremlins

***Gremlins*** is a 1984 American comedy horror film directed by Joe Dante and released by Warner Bros. The film is about a young man who receives a strange creature called a *mogwai* as a pet, which then spawns other creatures who transform into small, destructive, evil monsters. This story was continued with a sequel, *Gremlins 2: The New Batch*, released in 1990. Unlike the more satirical tone of the sequel (which parodies Hollywood sequels), *Gremlins* opts for more black comedy, balanced against a Christmastime setting. Both films were the center of large merchandisingcampaigns.

Steven Spielberg was the film's executive producer, with the film being produced by Michael Finnell and written by Chris Columbus, drawing on legends of gremlins in the RAF going back to World War II. The film stars Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates, with Howie Mandel providing the voice of Gizmo, the main *mogwai* character.

Despite being a critical and commercial success, the film was heavily criticized for some of its more violent sequences. In response to this and to similar complaints about *Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom*, Spielberg suggested that the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) alter its rating system, which it did within two months of the film's release, creating a new PG-13 rating.[2]
Hairspray (2007 film)

***Hairspray*** is a 2007 musical romantic comedy film based on the Broadway musical of the same name, which in turn was based on John Waters's 1988 comedy film of the same name. The film was a British-American venture[2] produced by Ingenious Media and Zadan/Meron Productions. Adapted from both Waters's 1988 script and Thomas Meehan and Mark O'Donnell's book for the stage musical by screenwriter Leslie Dixon, the 2007 film version of *Hairspray* was directed and choreographed by Adam Shankman and has an ensemble cast including John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden, Queen Latifah, Brittany Snow, Zac Efron, Elijah Kelley, Allison Janney, and Nikki Blonsky in her feature film debut. Set in 1962 Baltimore, Maryland, the film follows the "pleasantly plump" teenager Tracy Turnblad as she pursues stardom as a dancer on a local TV show and rallies against racial segregation.

The film began development in 2004, and Dixon reworked Meehan and O'Donnell's first draft of the screenplay to tone down the musical's campiness. In 2005, Shankman agreed to direct the film. Composer/lyricist Marc Shaiman and lyricist Scott Wittman reworked their songs from the Broadway musical for the film's soundtrack, and also wrote four new songs for the film. Principal photography commenced in September 2006 with a budget of $75 million, and ended in December of that year; filming took place on locations in Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and on soundstages at Toronto's Showline Studios. Recording sessions for the film's songs and soundtrack took place in Los Angeles, California in the United States.

*Hairspray* premiered on July 13, 2007 at the Mann Village Theater and was released on July 20, 2007 in the United Kingdom and the United States. The film was a critical and financial success, breaking the record for biggest sales at opening weekend for a movie musical,[5] which the film held until July 2008 when it was surpassed by *Mamma Mia!*[6]and later *High School Musical 3: Senior Year* in October.[7] *Hairspray* went on to become the tenth highest grossing musical film in US cinema history, behind the film adaptations of *Grease*, *Chicago*, and *Mamma Mia!*,[6] and stands as one of the most critically and commercially successful musical films of the last decade. Available in a variety of formats, *Hairspray*'s Region 1 home video release took place on November 20, 2007.[8] USA Network purchased the broadcast rights to *Hairspray* and was scheduled to debut the film on cable television in February 2010, but in the end it did not broadcast that month, instead the film was pushed back and premiered on USA on July 24, 2010, with sister channel Bravo also showing it multiple times, and in February 2011 aired on ABC for over-the-air broadcasts.[9]

Independence Day: Resurgence

***Independence Day: Resurgence*** is a 2016 American science fiction disaster film directed by Roland Emmerich and written by Emmerich, Dean Devlin, Nicolas Wright, James A. Woods, and James Vanderbilt. A sequel to the 1996 film *Independence Day*, it stars an ensemble cast featuring Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Maika Monroe, Jessie Usher, Travis Tope, William Fichtner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Judd Hirsch, Brent Spiner, Angelababy and Sela Ward. The film takes place twenty years after the events of the first film, during which the United Nations has collaborated to form Earth Space Defense (ESD), an international military defense and research organization. Through reverse engineering, the world has fused the power of alien technology with theirs and laid the groundwork to resist a second invasion.

Plans for a sequel to *Independence Day* began as early as 2001, with 20th Century Fox eventually green-lighting the project in 2014. Principal photography began in April 2015 at locations primarily in New Mexico but also in the Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah, which were featured in the original.

*Independence Day: Resurgence* was released in the United States on June 24, 2016, twenty years after the release of *Independence Day*, in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D, grossing $389.7 million worldwide at the box office. It received negative reactions from critics and audiences and was considered a box office disappointment.[4][5][6][7]
His Girl Friday

***His Girl Friday*** is a 1940 American screwball comedy drama romance film directed by Howard Hawks and starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. It was released by Columbia Pictures. The plot centers on a newspaper editor named Walter Burns who is about to lose his ace reporter and ex-wife Hildy Johnson, newly engaged to another man. Burns suggests they cover one more story together, getting themselves entangled in the case of murderer Earl Williams as Burns desperately tries to win back his wife. The screenplay was adapted from the play *The Front Page* by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur. This was the second time the play had been adapted for the screen, the first occasion being the 1931 film also called *The Front Page*.

The script was written by Charles Lederer and Ben Hecht, who is not credited for his contributions. The major change in this version, introduced by Hawks, is that the role of Hildy Johnson is a woman. Filming began in September 1939 and finished in November, seven days behind schedule. Production was delayed because the frequent improvisation and numerous ensemble scenes required many retakes. Hawks encouraged his actors to be aggressive and spontaneous, creating several moments in which the characters break the fourth wall. *His Girl Friday* has been noted for its surprises, comedy, and rapid, overlapping dialogue. Hawks himself was determined to break the record for the fastest film dialogue, at the time held by *The Front Page*. He used a sound mixer on the set to increase the speed of dialogue and held a showing of the two films next to each other to prove how fast his film was.

*His Girl Friday* was #19 on American Film Institute's 100 Years ... 100 Laughs and was selected in 1993 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry of the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The film is in the public domain because the copyright was not renewed, though the play it was based on is still under copyright.[1]
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

***Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix*** is a 2007 fantasy film directed by David Yates and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.[4] It is based on J. K. Rowling's 2003 novel of the same name. The fifth instalment in the *Harry Potter* film series, it was written by Michael Goldenberg (making this the only film in the series not to be scripted by Steve Kloves) and produced by David Heyman and David Barron. The story follows Harry Potter's fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as the Ministry of Magic is in denial of Lord Voldemort's return.

The film stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, alongside Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as Harry's best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. It is the sequel to *Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire* and is followed by *Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince*.

Live-action filming took place in England and Scotland for exterior locations and Leavesden Film Studios in Watford for interior locations from February to November 2006, with a one-month break in June. Post-production on the film continued for several months afterwards to add in visual effects. The film's budget was reportedly between £75 and 100 million ($150–200 million).[5][6] Warner Bros. released the film in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2007 and in North America on 11 July, both in conventional and IMAX theatres; it is the first *Potter* film to be released in IMAX 3D.

*Order of the Phoenix* became the sixth highest-grossing film of all-time by the end of its theatrical run (behind *Titanic*, *The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King*, *Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest*, *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone* and *Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End*). It opened to a worldwide five-day opening of $333 million, fourteenth of all-time, and grossed $940 million total, second to *Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End* for the greatest total of 2007.[7][8] The film was nominated for two BAFTA Film Awards in 2008.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019 film)

***Godzilla: King of the Monsters*** (released as ***Godzilla II: King of the Monsters*** in some markets)[5][6] is a 2019 American monster film directed by Michael Dougherty and co-written by Dougherty and Zach Shields from a story by Max Borenstein, Dougherty, and Shields. A sequel to *Godzilla* (2014), it is the 35th film in the *Godzilla* franchise, the third film in Legendary Pictures' MonsterVerse, and the third *Godzilla* film to be completely produced by a Hollywood studio.[note 1]

The film stars Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga, Millie Bobby Brown, Bradley Whitford, Sally Hawkins, Charles Dance, Thomas Middleditch, Aisha Hinds, O'Shea Jackson Jr., David Strathairn, Ken Watanabe, and Zhang Ziyi. It is dedicated to executive producer Yoshimitsu Banno and original *Godzilla* suit performer Haruo Nakajima, who both died in 2017. In the film, humans must rely on Godzilla to defeat King Ghidorah, who has awakened other Titans to destroy the world.

The sequel was green-lit during the opening weekend of *Godzilla*, with original director Gareth Edwards expected to return. Edwards left the project in May 2016, and Dougherty, who had been hired in October 2016 to re-write the script with Zach Shields, was announced as the director in January 2017. Principal photography began in June 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia, and wrapped in September 2017.

*Godzilla: King of the Monsters* was released on May 31, 2019, to mixed reviews, with praise for the visual effects, action sequences, cinematography, and musical score but criticism aimed at the pacing, tone, story, and characters.[8][9] The film was a box office disappointment, grossing $385 million worldwide against a budget of $170–200 million.[2][10][11] A sequel, *Godzilla vs. Kong*, is scheduled for release on March 13, 2020.

I Like It, I Love It

Spent forty-eight dollars last night at the county fair
I threw out my shoulder but I won her that teddy bear
She's got me saying sugar-pie, honey, darlin', and dear
I ain't seen the Braves play a game all year
I'm gonna get fired, if I don't get some sleep
My long lost buddies say I'm gettin' in to deep

But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
I try so hard, I can't rise above it
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin'
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it

My Mama and Daddy tried to teach me courtesy
But it never sank in 'til that girl got a hold of me
Now I'm holding umbrellas and openin' up doors
I'm taking out the trash and I'm sweepin' my floors
Crossin' my fingers, and countin' every kiss
Prayin' that it keeps goin' on like this

But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
I try so hard, I can't rise above it
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin'
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it

Got to wash my truck and dress up
To pick her up to watch TV
And she sits down on the sofa
She'll move a little closer
She can't get enough of me

But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
I try so hard, I can't rise above it
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin'
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
Hannah Montana

***Hannah Montana***, also known as ***Hannah Montana Forever*** in its fourth and final season, is an American musical comedy television series created by Michael Poryes, Rich Correll, and Barry O'Brien. It focuses on Miley Stewart (portrayed by Miley Cyrus), who is a teenager living a double life as an average schoolgirl by day and as the famous recording artist Hannah Montana by night, which she keeps secret with only a few people knowing of her alter ego. The story follows the daily life of Stewart, her brother Jackson, her best friends Lily and Oliver, and her father Robby (Cyrus's real-life country singer father, Billy Ray Cyrus).

The series, produced by It's a Laugh Productions and Michael Poryes Productions, premiered on Disney Channel on March 24, 2006, garnering 5.4 million views, giving the Disney Channel the highest ratings in its history at the time and concluded on January 16, 2011 after having aired four seasons and ninety-eight episodes. The soundtrack albums *Hannah Montana* (2006), *Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus* (2007), *Hannah Montana 3* (2009), and *Hannah Montana Forever* (2010) were released to coincide with their respective seasons. In 2007, the success of the series led to the Best of Both Worlds Tour, which visited North America. The following year, it was adapted into the 3D film *Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert* and its accompanying soundtrack. In 2009, the first feature film of the series, titled *Hannah Montana: The Movie* was released to commercial success, and was additionally promoted through its accompanying soundtrack. All seasons of the show have been distributed on DVD.

The series received generally favorable reviews from critics and was praised by audiences. It has been recognized as a "guilty pleasure" by several media outlets. The show's instant success is widely credited with the launch of the younger Cyrus's career and her establishment as a teen idol. However, as she continued to develop an increasingly provocative image as the series progressed, the series has received criticism for appearing to be a negative influence on its younger audience.
High Fidelity

***High Fidelity*** is a 2000 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Stephen Frears. It stars John Cusack, Iben Hjejle, Jack Black, Todd Louiso, and Lisa Bonet. The film is based on the 1995 British novel of the same name by Nick Hornby, with the setting moved from London to Chicago and the name of the lead character changed.

After seeing the film, Hornby expressed his happiness with Cusack's performance, saying that "at times, it appears to be a film in which John Cusack reads my book."[2]
Incredible Crash Dummies

***The Incredible Crash Dummies*** is an animated television special. It was produced in 1993. In the United States, it originally aired on Fox Kids. It was later repacked as a video to be sold with two of the Crash Dummy action figures (Ted and a "purple/gold" repainted Junkman). Like the TV ad the series was based on the "You Could Learn a Lot from a Dummy" PSAs, episodes would have the characters announcing at the end "Don't you be a dummy, buckle your safety belts...and leave the crashing to us!" It was the first full-length television cartoon created using computer graphics.[1][2]

What you want to ball with the kid
Watch your step you might fall
Trying to do what I did
Mama-unh mama-unh mama come closa'
In the middle of the club with the rub-a-dub
No love for the haters
Mad cause I got floor seats at the Lakers
See me on the fifty yard line with the Raiders
Met Ali he told me I'm the greatest
I got the fever for the flavor of a crowd pleaser
DJ play another
From the prince of this
Your highness
Only bad chicks ride in my whips
South to the west to the east to the north
Bought my hits and watch 'em go off a go off
Ah yes yes y'all ya don't stop
In the winter or the (summertime)
I makes it hot

Eight-fifty I.S. if you need a lift
Who's the kid in the drop
Who else Will Smith
Livin' that life some consider a myth
Rock from south street to one two fifth
Women used to tease me
Give it to me now nice and easy
Since I moved up like George and Wheezey
Cream to the maximum I be askin' 'em
Would you like to bounce with the brother that's platinum
Never see Will attackin' 'em
I rather play ball with Shaq and 'em
Flatten 'em
Psyche
Hittin' you thought I took a spill
But I didn't
Trust the lady of my life she hittin'
Hit her with a drop top with the ribbon
Crib for my mom on the outskirts of Philly
You trying to flex on me
Don't be silly

TGather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest place
So have yourself a merry little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
So have yourself a merry little Christmas
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000 film)

***How the Grinch Stole Christmas*** (also known as ***Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas*** and simply ***The Grinch*** in the UK) is a 2000 American Christmas fantasy comedy film directed by Ron Howard and written by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman. Based on Dr. Seuss's 1957 book of the same name, the film was the first Dr. Seuss book to be adapted into a full-length feature film. The film stars Jim Carrey in the title role, Jeffrey Tambor, Christine Baranski, Bill Irwin, Molly Shannon and Taylor Momsen.

Because the film is based on a children's picture book, many additions were made to the storyline to bring it up to feature-length, including some information about the backstory of the title character and reworking the story's minor character Cindy Lou Who as a main character. Most of the rhymes that were used in the book were also used in the film, though some of the lines were to some degree changed and several new rhymes were put in. The film also borrowed some music and character elements (such as the Grinch's green skin tone) that originated in the 1966 animated television special.

Produced by Howard and Brian Grazer's Imagine Entertainment, *Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!* was released by Universal Pictures on November 17, 2000 to mixed reviews from critics, mostly criticizing the script and some innuendos, while the musical score, Carrey's performance, visual aspects and production values (particularly Rick Baker´s makeup effects) were favorably praised. The film grossed over $345 million worldwide, becoming the sixth-highest grossing film of 2000 and was originally the second highest-grossing holiday film of all-time behind *Home Alone*(1990), until both movies were surpassed in 2018 by the third film adaptation of the story.[2][3] It won the Academy Award for Best Makeup as well as getting nominations for Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design.
Holiday Inn (film)

***Holiday Inn*** is a 1942 American musical film directed by Mark Sandrich and starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire, with Virginia Dale, Marjorie Reynolds, and Walter Abel.[3] With music by Irving Berlin, the composer wrote twelve songs specifically for the film, the best known being "White Christmas". The film features a complete reuse of the song "Easter Parade", written by Berlin for the 1933 Broadway revue *As Thousands Cheer*. The film's choreography was by Danny Dare.[4]

The film received a 1943 Academy Award for Best Original Song (Irving Berlin for "White Christmas"), as well as Academy Award nominations for Best Score (Robert Emmett Dolan) and Best Original Story (Irving Berlin).[5]
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

***Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone*** (released in the United States, India and Pakistan as ***Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone***)[6] is a 2001 fantasy film directed by Chris Columbus and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.[5] It is based on J. K. Rowling's 1997 novel of the same name. The film is the first instalment of the *Harry Potter* film series and was written by Steve Kloves and produced by David Heyman. Its story follows Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as he discovers that he is a famous wizard and begins his education. The film stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, with Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger.

Warner Bros. bought the film rights to the book in 1999 for a reported £1 million ($1.65 million in 1999). Production began in the United Kingdom in 2000, with Chris Columbus being chosen to create the film from a short list of directors that included Steven Spielberg and Rob Reiner. Rowling insisted that the entire cast be British and Irish, and the film was shot at Leavesden Film Studios and historic buildings around the United Kingdom.

The film was released to cinemas in the United Kingdom and United States on 16 November 2001. It became a critical and commercial success, grossing $975.1 million at the box office worldwide. The highest-grossing film of 2001, it is the forty-first highest-grossing of all-time (2nd at the time of its release; behind *Titanic*) and the second most successful instalment of the *Harry Potter* series behind *Deathly Hallows – Part 2*. The film was nominated for many awards, including Academy Awards for Best Original Score, Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design. It was followed by seven sequels, beginning with *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets* in 2002 and ending with *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2* in 2011, nearly ten years after the first film's release.
Glengarry Glen Ross

***Glengarry Glen Ross*** is a 1992 American drama film adapted by David Mamet from his 1984 Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name, and directed by James Foley. The film depicts two days in the lives of four real estate salesmen and how desperate they become when the corporate office sends a trainer to "motivate" them. He tells them that, in a week's time, all except the top two salesmen will be fired. It was filmed in New York City.[3]

Like the play, the film is notorious for its use of profanity, leading the cast to refer to the film jokingly as "Death of a F\*\*\*in' Salesman."[4] The title of the film comes from the names of two of the real estate developments being peddled by the salesmen characters: Glengarry Highlands and Glen Ross Farms.

The world premiere of the film was held at the 49th Venice Film Festival, where Jack Lemmon was awarded the Volpi Cup for Best Actor. Al Pacino was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his work in the film. Though the film performed modestly at the box office, grossing $10.7 million in North America on a $12.5 million budget, *Glengarry Glen Ross* was lauded by critics and is considered a classic film.[5][6]
I Have a Little Dreidel

Well
I have a little dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then, dreidel I shall play.

Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then, dreidel I will play.

It has a lovely body
With legs so short and thin
And when it gets all tired
It drops and I will win.

Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then, dreidel I will play.

My dreidel is so playful
It loves to dance and spin
A happy game of dreidel
Come play now, let's begin.

Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then, dreidel I will play.
Gran Torino

***Gran Torino*** is a 2008 American drama film directed and produced by Clint Eastwood, who also starred in the film. The film co-stars Christopher Carley, Bee Vang and Ahney Her. This was Eastwood's first starring role since 2004's *Million Dollar Baby*. The film features a large Hmong American cast, as well as one of Eastwood's younger sons, Scott. Eastwood's oldest son, Kyle, provided the score. Set in Detroit, Michigan, it is the first mainstream American film to feature Hmong Americans. Many Lao Hmong war refugees resettled in the U.S. following the communist takeover of Laos in 1975.[4]

The story follows Walt Kowalski, a recently widowed Korean War veteran alienated from his family and angry at the world. Walt's young neighbor, Thao Vang Lor, is pressured by his cousin into stealing Walt's prized 1972 Ford Gran Torino for his initiation into a gang. Walt thwarts the theft with his M1 Garand rifle and subsequently develops a relationship with the boy and his family.

*Gran Torino* opened in a limited theatrical release in the United States on December 12, 2008, before expanding wide on January 9, 2009.[5] It grossed $270 million worldwide (making it Eastwood's second highest-grossing film to-date).[6] Within the Hmong community in the United States, the film received praise for Eastwood’s direction and performance, but also received criticism for its portrayal of Asian stereotypes.
