Titles comprise: Best In Show: The tension is unmistakable the excitement is mounting and the heady scent of competition is in the air at the prestigious Mayflower Dog Show. Director Christopher Guest takes a hilarious look at dog show participants (and the pooches who love them). Meet the contestants - a fly-fishing bloodhound owner (Guest) Shih-Tzu-doting partners squabbling yuppie lawyers a bimbo trophy wife and her poodle handler and a married couple who dream up little ditties about terriers - all fighting for the 'Best in Show' prize. From the creators of 'This... Is Spinal Tap' director Christopher Guest presents Golden Globe Nominee Best Picture 'Best In Show' a barking mad mockumentary! The Big Tease: If you've got it flaunt it. Or in the case of Scottish hairdresser Crawford Mackenzie snip curl tint shape and blow-dry it. Mackenzie's come from Glasgow to Los Angeles - with a documentary filmmaker in tow recording his journey - to compete in a stylists' competition for the prestigious Platinum Scissors Award. But the best-laid schemes of mousse and men go wrong. Mackenzie's invitation to the event is in error. 'The Big Tease' is big fun a fish-out-of-water tale teeming with charm and a hilariously satiric view of life in L.A. Craig Ferguson (The Drew Carey Show) heads a vibrant cast as Mackenzie the licensed-to-style hero determined to enter the contest and create a hairdo to claim those coveted shears. Mars Attacks!: Stars that shine across the galaxy. Jack Nicholson (in a dual role) Glenn Close Annette Bening Pierce Brosnan Danny DeVito and a dozen more. And mean green invaders from the angry red planet! Armed with insta-fry ray guns endowed with slimy humungous brains - and enlivened with out-of-this-world but state-of-the-art special effects. As the U.S. legislature is overwhelmed. (Don't fear we still have 2 out of 3 branches of the government working for us and that ain't bad!). As Earth fights back with an unexpected weapon. Take that Martians! Spies Like Us: They're double agents without a sneaking suspicion of their assignment. But if it has anything to do with comedy it's sure to be mission accomplished for Saturday Night Live alumni Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd romping through their first movie together. As two government desk jockeys who cheat their way through a civil-service entry exam and (incredibly) become globetrotting undercover operatives Aykroyd and Chase generate the verve and spontaneity of a Bob Hope/Bing Crosby road movie. (Indeed Hope turns up in a cameo golf club in hand.) [show more]

Collection of four popular film comedies. In 'Best in Show' (2000), it's time for the annual Mayflower Dog Show. The owners are assembling for the big competition, and what a bizarre bunch they are. There's yuppie couple Meg (Parker Posey) and Hamilton (Michael Hitchcock), who are both concerned that their pooch has been disturbed by seeing them having sex; there's previous winner Sherri Ann Ward (Jennifer Coolidge), owner of the poodle Rhapsody in White, who this time has hired lesbian trainer Christy Cummings (Jane Lynch) to ensure a further victory; plus there's former maneater Cookie Fleck (Catherine O'Hara), her pet Winky, and her jealous husband Gerry (Eugene Levy); and not forgetting hunter, angler and bloodhound-fancier Harlan Pepper (Christopher Guest), a man whose passion for ventriloquism is going to land him in trouble sooner or later. The dogs are on show, the results eagerly awaited, but with characters like these, the outcome is anyone's guess. In 'The Big Tease' (2000), when Glasgow's top hairdresser, Crawford Mackenzie (Craig Ferguson), is invited to the World Freestyle Hairdressing Championship in Los Angeles, he believes the title is his for the taking. Accompanied by a documentary crew to chronicle his impending triumph, Crawford is shocked to discover he has been summoned to watch, rather than compete in, the contest. There follows a desperate campaign to gain entry to the championship, which brings him into contact with Sean Connery's publicist and the hirsute David Hasselhoff. In 'Mars Attacks!' (1996), when Martians arrive on planet Earth, American President James Dale (Jack Nicholson) is persuaded to extend the hand of friendship. One of the President's advisers, Donald Kessler (Pierce Brosnan), has been studying the aliens, and is keen to make peaceful contact. The Martians, however, have other ideas and gleefully fry their greeting party from Earth, launching an all-out attack on the planet. Finally, in 'Spies Like Us' (1985), Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd star as the world's most awful spies who are despatched on a spurious assignment to deflect attention from the real work of the secret agency. The two bungle their way into all sorts of trouble and somehow find themselves working on a real case.
