Birth (2004)
A young boy attempts to convince a woman that he is her dead husband reborn.
Unusual drama insinuating or rather imagining the possibility of reincarnation skillfully holds its protagonists - and the audience - in a suspended, disquieting state of doubt and belief.
Maltin***: "Eerie, riveting drama is remarkably effective in building and sustaining a mood of unease - and uncertainty."

North West Frontier (1959)
In British India, a young prince must be taken to safety across rebel-held territory, and an old train is the only way to do it.
Imperialist gung-ho entertains as a Western-style train adventure with some good settings.
Halliwell**: "Thoroughly enjoyable Boys Own Paper adventure with excellent set-pieces and a sot-the-villain mystery."
Maltin***: "Fast-paced actioner..."

How to Marry a Millionaire (1953)
Three women set out to find eligible millionaires to marry, but find true love in the process.
Likable and entertaining, but harmless and old-fashioned romantic comedy - with a highly predictable plot.
Halliwell**:
"Cinemascope's first attempt at modern comedy was not quite as
disastrous as might have been expected, largely because of the
expensiveness of everything and the several stars still brightly
twinkling, but the handling of this variation on the old Golddiggers
theme, while entirely amiable, is dramatically very slack."
