Pure honest to goodness in this British farce. Nervous Ronnie Corbett is a bank clerk who is thrown into confusion when a parcel of dirty postcards arrives at the bank.

His employer, bombastically portrayed by Arthur Lowe, just so happens to be an anti-pornographic campaigner; so when further parcels containing blue films and pornographic books follow, our little clerk finds it difficult to dispose of the offensive material without arousing suspicion. Based on the long running London stage play, this hilarious series of compromising situations and mistaken identity owes a great deal to the traditional British farce. No Sex Please, We're British is a classic comedy, complete with the timely falling trousers and verbal innuendo!

From Academy Award-winning director Clint Eastwood comes the untold story of the Japanese soldiers who defended their homeland against invading American forces during World War II.

With little defense other than sheer will and the volcanic rock of Iwo Jima itself, the unprecedented tactics of General Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe) and his men transform what was predicted to be a swift defeat into nearly 40 days of heroic and resourceful combat. Their sacrifices, struggles, courage and compassion live on in this taut, gripping film.

Featuring hilarious show-stopping performances from such Hollywood greats, this incomparable gag-fest pays comic tribute to the real-life event "The Cannonball Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash"; a non-stop, 'anything-goes' and thoroughly illegal road race from America's Atlantic to Pacific coastline.

Thirty big-name stars, 300-horsepower horseplay and 3,000 breakneck miles: that's the revved-up sequel Cannonball Run II. A real-life race inspired both The Cannonball Run and this follow-up.

Director Hal Needham drove in a good-natured yet admittedly illegal race called The Cannonball Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. To elude the law, Needham and his pals disguised their entry as an ambulance. Burt Reynolds, Jackie Chan, Dom De Luise, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Marilu Henner, Shirley MacLaine, Frank Sinatra and more join this second joyride crammed with goofball disguises and souped-up vehicles. The cars zip along at top speed. The stars quip along in top form. And the only rule is there are no rules.

Tora! Tora! Tora! is the Japanese signal to attack - and this movie meticulously recreates the attack on Pearl Harbor and the events leading up to it. Opening scenes contrast the American and Japanese positions. Japanese imperialists decide to stage the attack. Top U.S. brass ignore its possibility.

Intercepted Japanese messages warn of it - but never reach F.D.R.'s desk. Radar warnings are disregarded. Even the entrapment of a Japanese submarine in Pearl Harbor before the attack goes unreported. Ultimately the Day of Infamy arrives - in the most spectacular, gut-wrenching cavalcade of action-packed footage ever. It's the most dazzling recreation of America's darkest day - and some of her finest hours.

On the front line, there's no time for fear. For 70,000 marines, the battle for Iwo Jima was more than the turning point of World War II; it was the defining moment in their lives.

Clint Eastwood taps into the single greatest emotional truth of warfare; soldiers may fight for their country, but they die for their friends. Hailed by critics, Flags of our Fathers is based on a powerful true story of heroism and bravery that should be shared and remembered.
