AMERICAN HOT WAX

(Drama | History | Music)
[1 hour 31 minutes]


This is the story loosely based on Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed,
who introduced rock 'n' roll to teenage American radio audiences in
the 1950s. Freed was a source of great controversy: criticized by
conservatives for corrupting youth with the "devil's music"; hated
by racists for promoting African American music for white
consumption; persecuted by law enforcement officials and
finally brought down by the "payola" scandals.

Q-SKY is the #1 radio station in Los Angeles mainly because of
the music they play, and running the station the way they want
to. It has led them to a ratings success. The interesting radio
personalities include: Jeff Dugan, rebellious head of the radio
station; Mother, who is burned out from being a DJ; Eric Swan,
a self centered romantic who wants more than just being a DJ;
The Prince of Darkness, the hip night DJ; and Laura Coe, the
easy-going type. The movie focuses on the battle between Jeff
and his corporate bosses, who want more advertising and less music.

The Last Waltz
THE LAST WALTZ

(Documentary | Biography | Music)
[1 hour 57 minutes]


Thanksgiving, 1976, San Francisco's Winterland: the Band performs
its last concert after 16 years on the road. Some numbers they do
alone, some songs include guest artists from Ronnie Hawkins
(their first boss, when they were the Hawks) to Bob Dylan (their
last, when as his backup and as a solo group, they came into
their own). Scorsese's camera explores the interactions onstage
in the making of music. Offstage, he interviews the Band's five
members, focusing on the nature of life on the road.
The friendships, the harmonies, the hijinks, and the wear and tear
add up to a last waltz.

(Biography | Drama | Music)

The musical career of rock and roll pioneer Buddy Holly is chronicled,
from the days when "Peggy Sue" was "Cindy Lou", a song about his first

to his marriage, breakup with the Crickets, reunion with the Crickets,
and untimely death.

Grease
GREASE

(Musical | Romance)
[1 hour 50 minutes]


A musical about teens in love in the 1950s. It's California 1958 and
greaser Danny Zuko (John Travolta) and Australian Sandy Olsson
(Olivia Newton-John) are in love. They spend time at the beach, and
when they go back to school, what neither of them knows is that they
both now attend Rydell High. Danny's the leader of the T-Birds, a
group of black leather jacket-wearing greasers while Sandy hangs
with the Pink Ladies, a group of pink-wearing girls led by Rizzo
(Stockard Channing). When they clash at Rydell's first pep rally,
Danny isn't the same Danny from the beach. They try to be like
each other so they can be together.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND

(Adventure | Comedy | Fantasy | Musical)
[1 hour 53 minutes]


A small town band makes it big, but loses track of their roots, as
they get caught up into the big-time machinations of the music biz.
Now, they must thwart a plot to destroy their hometown.
Built around the music of The Beatles, this musical uses some big
name groups like Peter Frampton and Aerosmith.

The Wiz
THE WIZ

(Adventure | Family | Fantasy | Musical)
[2 hours 14 minutes]


24-year-old kindergarten teacher Dorothy, born, raised, and
still working in Harlem, is celebrating Thanksgiving with
her extended family, but she doesn't seem to be thankful for
much. She lives a sheltered life and is shy and unfulfilled.
When she gets caught in a snowstorm while chasing her dog Toto,
they're transported to the mysterious Land of Oz, where she's
informed that the only way she can find her way home is through
the assistance of the powerful wizard in the Emerald City. As
she searches for him by easing down the Yellow Brick Road, she
befriends some creatures who face problems in their lives. In
their quest to find the wizard, they also face Evillene, the
equally evil sister of Evermean, the wicked witch whom Dorothy
inadvertently killed when she arrived in Oz; Evillene might be
their biggest obstacle.
