BRINGING UP BABY (SPECIAL EDITION): All the earnest paleontologist (Cary Grant) wants is an intercostal clavicle to complete his brontosaurus skeleton. What he gets is an out-of-control toboggan ride with a scatterbrained heiress (Katharine Hepburn) nuts about him (or maybe just nuts). Riding along areia dog named George, a leopard named Baby, a snooty society matron with a spare million, a caretaker on the sauce and more. In this giddy romp directed by Howard Hawks, Grant ends up in a negligee, Hepburn ends up in a bottomless evening gown, everyone ends up in jail and Bringing Up Baby ends up as the most glorious laughter-inducing movie ever! THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (SPECIAL EDITION): Sophisticated romantic comedy achieved its pinnacle in this timeless classic voted one of the Top 100 American Films of all time by the American Film Institute. Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Best Actor Academy Award winner James Stewart star in the masterful comedy (directed by George Cukor) about a faultfinding, bride-to-be socialite who gets her comeuppance. DINNER AT EIGHT: Dinner At Eight, a vastly entertaining behind-closed-doors glimpse into the lives of the troubled and troublemaking Who's Who of people invited to a posh Manhattan party, is served with ample helpings of humor and melodrama. Buoyed by the success of the studio's mult starred, multistoried Grand Hotel the year before, producer David O. Selznick aspired for something grander-and found it in this George Cukor-directed adaptation of the George S. Kaufman/Edna Ferber stage hit. LIBELED LADY: Bill Chandler (William Powell) is one of America's great anglers, a sports fisherman without peer, doom in waders to the wiliest trout. And that isn't the only fish story Chandler tells. Four of Hollywood's greatest stars-Powell, Jean Harlow, Myrna Loy and Spencer Tracy-reel in this whopper of a screwball romantic comedy classic nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. It all starts when society diva Loy slaps newsman Tracy with a libel suit. Tracy enlists fianc e Harlow andidown-on-his-luck Powell in a counter maneuver involving a rigged marriage, a phony seduction, a fabulously funny fishing scene, fist cuffs, broken promises, and hearts and eventually, true love for all. This Lady is one fine catch. STAGE DOOR: Ginger Rogers and Ann Miller tap in time and rat-a-tat lines. Lucille Ball braves a date with an obnoxious lumber baron. Eve Arden can't recall Hamlet but one meets so many people in the big city. And Katharine Hepburn becomes Broadway's biggest star in a play wherein she notes the calla lilies are in bloom again. Stars galore shine in this nominee for 4 Academy Awards including Best Picture, a fast, witty story of aspiring actresses living at a theatrical boarding house. Based on the Edna Ferber/George S. Kaufman play, the tale was considerably rewritten for the film, so much that Kaufman quipped that it should be called Screen

Contains the hit movies STEPMOM and MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING.STEPMOM: Director Chris Columbus (Mrs. Doubtfire, Home Alone), brings audiences a compelling film about the joys and challenges of family life in the '90s with STEPMOM.

It is the universal dilemma of the non-traditional family: both Isabel and the children love Luke, but the two parties don't even like, much less love, each other. When Jackie (Susan Sarandon, Academy Award-winner, Dead Man Walking), the natural mother and peerless supermom who not only resents Isabel's intrusion on a number of levels but is fiercely devoted to her kids, enters the mix, the often comical, always complex interplay between parents, stepparents, stepchildren, spouses-to-be, ex-spouses and significant others gets even trickier.

When Jackie discovers she is terminally ill and Isabel's relationship with Luke becomes serious, both women realize they must put aside their differences to save a family. The questions don't have easy answers: how do you hold a family together when the person who has been the rock, the most solid center of that unit gets sick? Can another person take her place? Eventually the two women find more than common ground--they discover how to celebrate life to the fullest... while they have the chance.MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING: Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney, Cameron Diaz and Rupert Everett star in MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING, a high-spirited, romantic comedy that serves up something wild, something new, something touching and something truly hilarious.

Comically crazed and full of devious plans, Jules will do anything to steal him back... except tell him the simple truth. An enchanting romantic comedy. The entire cast is smashing. --Gene Shalit, Today Show.
