Buck And The Preacher: Widely regarded at the time of its release as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with a social conscience, Buck And The Preacher is an immensely satisfying Western which marked Sidney Poitier's directorial debut, as well as his first screen pairing with superstar Harry Belafonte. Poitier stars as Buck, an ex-Union Army Cavalry sergeant who becomes a scout for freed slaves heading to the Colorado frontier. Tagging along with him are his wife (Ruby Dee in a scene-stealing performance) and a Bible-thumping con artist known as the Preacher (Belafonte). Attacked by racist bounty hunters determined to return the former slaves to a life of sharecropping in Louisiana, Buck and his followers must summon all the courage they have in order to reach their destination and help settle the Wild West.
Guess Who's Coming To Dinner: Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn are unforgettable as perplexed parents in this landmark 1967 movie about mixed marriage. Joanna, the beautiful daughter of a crusading publisher Matthew Drayton and his patrician wife Christina, returns home with her new fiance, John Prentice, a distinguished black doctor. Christina accepts her daughter's decision to marry John, but Matthew is shocked by this interracial union; and the doctor's parents are equally dismayed. Both families must sit down face to face and examine each other's level of intolerance. In Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, director Stanley Kramer has created a masterful study of society's prejudices...
Little Nikita: An action-packed thriller of espionage and patriotism starring Lifetime Achievement Award Winner Sidney Poitier and Oscar-nominated River Phoenix. Jeff Grant (Phoenix) is an All-American high school student applying to the Air Force Academy. Roy Parmenter (Poitier) is an FBI agent doing Grant's background check for school when he discovers Grant's parents are undercover Russian spies disguised as Americans. When Parmenter confronts Grant about his parents, he is forced to make a decision that could save his entire country!
A Raisin In The Sun: A groundbreaking drama celebrating the human spirit, featuring an electrifying performance by Academy Award winner Sidney Poitier. The Younger family, frustrated with living in their crowded Chicago apartment, sees the arrival of a $10,000 insurance cheque as the answers to their prayers. Matriarch Lena Younger (Claudia McNeil) promptly puts a down payment on a house in an all-white suburban neighbourhood. But the family is divided when Lena entrusts the balance of the money to her mercurial son Walter Lee (Poitier), against the wishes of her daughter (Diane Sands) and daughter-in-law (Ruby Dee). It takes the strength and integrity of this African American family to battler against generations of prejudice to try to achieve their piece of the American Dream.
To Sir, With Love: A novice teacher faces a class of rowdy, undisciplined working-class teenagers in this classic film that reflected some of the problems and fears that existed among young people in the 1960s. Sidney Poitier gives one of his finest performances as Mark Thackeray, an out-of-work engineer who turns to teaching in London's tough East End. The graduating class, led by Denham (Christian Roberts), Pamela (Judy Geeson) and Barbara (Lulu, who also sings the hit song), sets out to destroy Thackeray as they did his predecessor, by breaking his spirit. But Thackeray, no stranger to hostility, meets the challenge by treating the students as young adults who will soon enter a work force where they must stand or fall on their own. When offered an engineering job, Thackeray must decide if he wants to stay.
Also includes 'The Bedford Incident'.
