The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari “Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari”
by Robert Wiene (2002-09-24)
Kino Video (67 minutes)
average customer review: 
(104)
A nightmare realm in which light shadow & substance are abstracted a world in which a demented doctor & a carnival sleepwalker perpetrate a series of ghastly murders in a small community. A milestone of the silent film era, this eerie German classic from 1919 remains the most prominent example of German expressionism.

Forbidden Planet

average customer review: (507)
This 1956 pop adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tempest is one of the best, most influential science fiction movies ever made. When the crew of a spaceship lands on the planet, they become aware of a sinister invisible force that threatens to destroy them. Great special effects and a bizarre electronic score.

The Lords of Discipline
by Pat Conroy (2002-03-26)
average customer review: 
(210)
For the listener who can persevere beyond the barrage of crude language used by most of the male characters in author Conroy's humane look at life inside a Southern military academy, the producer offers a stunning audio version of a popular work of modern American fiction (published first in 1980).
