- The Sting - The quintessential con movie.
- Amadeus - "Too many notes, Mozart!" A heavily romanticized retelling of the somewhat apocryphal rivalry between Antonio Salieri and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
- Disney's Robin Hood - Get the dope on your horoscope~
- The NeverEnding Story - Because who didn't want to soar through the air on a luck dragon?
- Iron Monkey (少年黃飛鴻之鐵馬騮) - A retelling of the Chinese folk hero Wong Fei-hung, with classic wire-fu and excellent fight choreography.
The implicit promise -- actually, occasionally made EXPLICITLY in marketing -- of high-speed broadband was that everything would be available, but the reverse has proven true. A person living in an urban area had a larger selection of movies available for rent in 1999 than they do today
The last DVD I rented from Netflix was "Iron Monkey." This movie is very hard to get your hands on otherwise. (If you search for the torrent, there's a good chance you won't get any viable results!)
