May 6 The Hunt for Red October Rated PG Starring: Alec Baldwin and Sean Connery The first of several films based on Tom Clancy's "Jack Ryan" technothrillers, The Hunt for Red October stars Baldwin as eccentric CIA analyst Ryan and Connery as Soviet submarine commander Marko Ramius. Ramius sets the plot in motion when he murders his political adviser, burns his orders, and steers his sub Red October towards American waters, hoping to defect. The CIA, aware that the Red October was about to embark on an evasive mission to demonstrate its ability to avoid detection and fire its nuclear missiles on U.S. installations, believes that Ramius is insane, and that he plans to start World War III — a suspicion the Russians back up. Only Jack Ryan believes that Ramius' mission is not as apocalyptic as it seems – and it is Ryan who is assigned to infiltrate the Red October to prove his theory.

May 13 Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Not Rated Starring: Paul Newman, Elizabeth Taylor, and Burl Ives This dynamic and commanding adapation of Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning play focuses on a troubled Southern family and the discord over their dying father's millions. Wealthy plantation owner Big Daddy Pollitt, who is celebrating his 65th birthday, is visited by his sons, Brick and Gooper. He has cancer, but a doctor has deliberately and falsely declared it in remission. Seemingly perfect son Gooper and his wife, Mae, have several children and are anxiously expecting to inherit Daddy's millions. By contrast, Big Daddy's "favorite," Brick, is a has-been football star who's taken to drinking his days away since the suicide of his "best friend" a year earlier. He resents his wife, Maggie, because he believes that she had an affair with his deceased friend. As a result, he refuses to sleep with her, although she remains devoted to him. Since Brick and Maggie have failed to produce any grandchildren, Big Daddy is inclined to leave his estate to Gooper, but Maggie attempts to prevent that by telling him that she is pregnant. Big Daddy knows better, yet he recognizes that Maggie loves Brick so much that she would be willing to do anything for him. Although Brick is self-destructive and resentful, unable to come to terms with his losses, it takes Big Daddy's recognition of his own mortality to make Brick change his perspective.

May 20 Goldfinger Rated: PG Starring: Sean Connery With Goldfinger, the James Bond series took a turn away from relatively straightforward spy thrillers and toward campy gadgetry, extravagant sets, and kitschy jokes. Bond has to prevent a notorious gold smuggler, appropriately named Goldfinger, from robbing Fort Knox. Goldfinger is surrounded by evil henchmen such as the sexy female pilot Pussy Galore and Oddjob, who kills with his steel-rimmed bowler hats. In order to stop Goldfinger, Bond must survive several perilous situations, including a huge, deadly laser. Goldfinger is one of the most popular films in the James Bond series, and it set the tone not only for the rest of the series but also for most of the action/adventure films of the late '60s and early '70s.

May 27 True Grit Rated: G Starring: John Wayne, Glen Campbell, and Kim Darby John Wayne had to play a "one-eyed fat man" before the Motion Picture Academy considered him worthy of an Oscar.

Also heading into Indian territory in search of Chaney is a Texas Ranger who wants to collect the reward on the fugitive's head. Complicating matters are Chaney's scurrilous cronies Ned Pepper, Quincy, and Moon, who have no qualms about killing a troublesome teenage girl like Mattie.

June 3 Field of Dreams Rated: PG Starring: Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones "If you build it, he will come." That's the ethereal message that inspires Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella to construct a baseball diamond in the middle of his cornfield. At first, "he" seems to be the ghost of disgraced ballplayer Shoeless Joe Jackson, who materializes on the ballfield and plays a few games with the awestruck Ray. But as the weeks go by, Ray receives several other messages from a disembodied voice, including the mysterious "Ease his pain." He realizes that his ballfield has been divinely ordained to give a second chance to people who have sacrificed certain valuable aspects of their lives. One of these folks is Salingeresque writer Terence Mann, whom Ray kidnaps and takes to a ball game and then to his farm. Another is "Moonlight" Graham, a beloved general practitioner who gave up a promising baseball career in favor of medicine. The final "second-chancer" turns out to be much closer to Ray.

Brown's offspring are a singularly ill-mannered lot who have managed to drive away 17 different nannies when their father arranges for one Nanny McPhee to help out with the children. McPhee is an strange looking woman with a large nose, protruding teeth, and pock-marked skin, but it isn't long before the kids realize she has magical powers and isn't afraid to use them to help keep them in line. While the children aren't taken with McPhee's insistence on such things as saying "please" and listening to their elders, it becomes clear everyone has bigger things to worry about. Aunt Adelaide has insisted that if Mr. Brown cannot find a new wife within a month, she'll take custody of one of the children and cut off Brown's inheritance, and while Brown and the widow Mrs. Quickly seem fond of one another, his ineptitude in courtship seems to insure he'll never get her to the altar. But while the Brown children realize Nanny McPhee is a formidable opponent, she can also be a valuable ally as they learn to make use of her talents by being better children; they also discover that as they behave better, she begins to look less frightening.
