Description
Based on the novel Red Alert by Peter George, Stanley Kubrick's Cold War masterpiece drops you right at the height of the tensions between the USSR and the United States, world destruction literally at folks' fingertips. And General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) has itchy fingers. Convinced that the Soviets have infiltrated America's "vital essence," the crazed Ripper gives the go code to the 843rd bomb wing to attack the Soviet Union, setting in motion a series of darkly hilarious vignettes involving gung-ho soldiers, wacky generals, spying Soviets, drunken premiers, battles with soda machines, fights in the War Room, and the Soviet's top-secret Doomsday Machine.

Film: "Fargo" (1996)
Nominated for seven Academy Awards and winner of two for Best Actress (Frances McDormand) and Best Original Screenplay (the Coen Brothers), Fargo was a lead ship in the independent film takeover of the 1996 Oscars. Prior to that, though, Fargo already had found its way into general watercooler banter with its sharp Minnesota accents and folksy brand of dark humor. The procedural purported to be based on a true story follows Brainerd police chief Marge Gunderson (McDormand), who is seven months pregnant and trying to crack the case that twists together a kidnapping, multiple dead bodies, and a hapless Buick salesperson — all set amongst a mallard painting competition.
