Suddenly, a freak electrical storm engulfs the ship and triggers the impossible: The Nimitz is hurtled back in time to December 6, 1941, mere hours before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. As the enemy fleet speeds towards Hawaii, the warship’s Captain (Kirk Douglas), a Defense Department expert (Martin Sheen), a maverick Air Wing Commander (James Farentino) and a desperate Senator in the Roosevelt administration (Charles Durning) must choose between the unthinkable. Do they allow the Japanese to complete their murderous invasion, or launch a massive counterstrike that will forever change the course of history?

Like most first-time mothers, Rosemary (Mia Farrow) experiences confusion and fear.

- DIRECTOR: Nicolas Roeg
- PRODUCER: Peter Katz
- SYNOPSIS:
- Working with elements of the traditional horror genre – second sight, ESP, warnings from the dead, a mad killer – and a cinematography of disquieting beauty and dreamlike sense of dislocation, director Roeg weaves a fabric of anxiety that questions all reality. The evocative use of the back streets of Venice is a sinister participant in the action based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier. This intensely erotic and macabre film boasts outstanding performances by Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari [1920]
- DVD
- PRINCIPAL CAST: Werner Krauss, Conrad Veidt, Lil Dagovar, Friedrich Feher, Hans Von Twardowsky
- DIRECTOR: Robert Wiene
- PRODUCER: Erich Pommer
- SYNOPSIS:
- This silent masterpiece has been called the first “cult” movie and the first horror film of genuine quality and substance. A young student, Francis, (Freidrich Feher) encounters evil magician, Dr. Caligari (Werner Kraus), at a county fair. Caligari’s “act” consists of waking a frightening somnambulist, Cesare, from the coffin where, it is claimed, he has lain asleep for years. When Francis’ best friend is murdered and a killing spree erupts in the small village, he suspects that Caligari is using Cesare to commit the ghastly crimes. When Cesare is sent to murder the student’s fiancé, Joan (Lil Dagover), he is so smitten with her beauty that he abducts her instead. Francis tracks Caligari to a nearby insane asylum where he is horrified to learn that the doctor is not an inmate but the director of the institution! The surprise ending is as shocking and perplexing today as it was when originally released.
- Set designer Hermann Warm enlisted Walter Reimann and Walter Roehrig, fellow members of Berlin’s expressionist Der Sturm group, to act as art directors. They created the unprecedented look of the sets, costumes, and makeup to reflect the mind of a madman. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari demonstrated to all future filmmakers that psychological horror could equal or exceed the effects of physical shocks. This thought-provoking film is a must-see for all who appreciate great movies.
- TAGLINES:
- The most amazing story ever screened.
- You must become Caligari.
- A THRILLING FANTASTIC PHOTO-PLAY
- Caligari and his mysterious slave – the black and white phantom who lives in a cabinet and goes forth in his sleep to do his master’s bidding. the weirdest characters ever seen on the screen and the most daringly different picture ever seen.
