1914
1914 tells the story of the 21st Battalion as they prepare for the battle of Courcelette in World War I. Taking place in real time, the film follows Sgt. Mac Reid as he must get his men ready for the impending battle. Not only must he prepare his battalion, Sgt. Reid must also deal with the day to day difficulties of life in the trenches; including terrible injuries to his men, exhausted supplies and an underage recruit who has joined the army in search of adventure. Entirely representative of the generation of young men pitched into the slaughter of World War I, they encounter the bloody carnage of the Western Front. The war to end all wars, this is the story of the human cost of war on a scale the world had never seen before; an intimate and powerful depiction of World War I.

Bird
Jazzelskeren Clint Eastwood ble belønnet med en Golde Globe-pris for regien av denne gripende historien om jazzpioneren Charlie «Yardbird» Parker. Fortid og fremtid flyter over i hverandre, akkurat som i jazzen selv, mens filmen skildrer Birds utrolige musikalitet og destruktive livsførsel. Forest Whitaker ble kåret til Beste skuespiller under Filmfestivalen i Cannes for sin rolle som geniet som brenner lyset i begge ender. Diane Venora spiller musikerens trofaste kone Chan Parker, en tolkning som New York Film Critics ga henne utmerkelsen Beste kvinnelige birolle for.Lydsporet, som vant Oscar* for Beste lyd, forener originale Parker-opptak med moderne musikere, og resultatet er en overveldende opplevelse – iEastwoods regi blir Bird virkelig levende for oss igjen.
