Mrs. Miniver 
Kay Miniver doesn't fly a Spitfire in dogfights over London or ply the North Sea in a battleship, but she's doing her all for wartime England. And she does it so well that Winston Churchill would say
Mrs. Miniver was more vital to the nation than a fleet of destroyers.
Winner of six Academy Awards®* including Best Picture, this memorable spirit-lifter about an idealized England that tends its prize-winning roses while confronting the terror of war struck a patriotic cord with American audiences and became 1942's #1 box-office hit. Greer Garson gives a formidable Oscar®-winning performance in the title role, comforting children in a bomb shelter, capturing an enemy parachutist and delivering an inspirational portrait of stiff-upper-lip British resolve. When Hitler did his worst,
Mrs. Miniver did her best.

Amadeus Now seen in a Director's Cut including 20 minutes worth of scenes not seen in its original release,
Amadeus remains a screen triumph: as sumptuous period epic, as soaring celebration of the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and as the winner of 8 Academy Awards®**, including Best Picture (produced by Saul Zaentz), Actor (F. Murray Abraham), Director (Milos Forman) and Adapted Screenplay (Peter Shaffer, from his play). In 1781 Vienna, court composer Antonio Salieri (Abraham) is maddened with envy after discovering that the divine musical gifts he desires for himself have been bestowed on the bawdy, impish Mozart (Tom Hulce), whom he plots to destroy by any means necessary. And by means of cinematic craft and sublime music, we watch spellbound.
**Other 1984 Awards: Best Art Direction/Set Decoration, Costume Design, Makeup and Sound.
