1979

The Swap
Director: Jordan Leondopoulos

When a man investigates his brother’s mysterious death, he uncovers a tangled web of betrayal, corruption, and murder. Using early footage of Robert De Niro from the 1969 film Sam’s Song, The Swap blends new material with De Niro’s performance to craft a gritty crime mystery. With Sybil Danning and Jennifer Warren co-starring, the film delivers a tense, noir-tinged story of revenge and the dangerous secrets people will kill to protect.

1978

The Children of Sanchez
Director: Hall Bartlett

Based on Oscar Lewis’s acclaimed book, this powerful drama tells the story of a poor family struggling to survive in the slums of Mexico City. Anthony Quinn stars as Jesús Sánchez, a domineering yet loving father whose clashes with his children reveal both hardship and resilience. With strong performances from Dolores del Río and Lupita Ferrer, The Children of Sánchez is an emotional portrait of poverty, dignity, and the enduring strength of family bonds.

1980

Gregory's Girl
Director: Bill Forsyth

Gregory is a normal teen who is infatuated with a classmate. He must work to win her affection.

1980

Out of the Blue
Director: Dennis Hopper

A rebellious teenage girl struggles to find meaning in a broken world after her father’s release from prison. Linda Manz delivers a raw, unforgettable performance as a punk-loving outsider adrift in small-town despair, while director-star Dennis Hopper portrays her troubled father. With Sharon Farrell as the fragile mother caught in the cycle, Out of the Blue is a haunting, uncompromising drama that became a cult classic for its unflinching portrait of alienation.
