1956

1984
Director: Michael Anderson

Edmond O’Brien stars as Winston Smith, a man who dares to think freely in a society ruled by the ever-watchful Big Brother. Joined by Jan Sterling and Michael Redgrave, this stark adaptation of George Orwell’s classic novel is a tense, haunting story of forbidden love and quiet rebellion in a world built on fear.

2000

The Apology
Director: Sidney Lam

William Bullock is an elderly college professor of English Literature and Composition. In class he's impatient, controlling and unforgiving. When a female student complains he made a grotesque request of her, nobody seems to believe him. The cynical department chairman is titillated by the fact that this ancient stalwart model of fidelity and morality has revealed a too-human part of himself.

1966

The Opium Connection
Director: Terence Young

In an attempt to stem the heroin trade from Iran, a group of narcotics agents working for the UN inject a radioactive compound into a seized shipment of opium, in the hopes that it will lead them to the main heroin distributor in Europe. Along the way, they encounter a mysterious woman doing her own investigating of the smuggling operation. Together, they follow the trail as it leads them through the back alleys and luxury resorts of Europe.

1991

Breathing Fire
Director: Lou Kennedy

The quiet lives of two adopted brothers shatter when they uncover their father’s role in a deadly robbery. Forced to choose between family bonds and justice, they turn to their martial arts training to face off against ruthless criminals – and their own blood. Packed with fierce choreography and explosive showdowns, the film features Bolo Yeung as a menacing enforcer, adding muscle and menace to the action. With Jerry Trimble and Eddie Saavedra leading the cast, this is a hard-hitting slice of early ’90s martial arts cinema.
