Technology and sexuality meet in a head-on collision in Crash, director David Cronenberg's controversial adaptation of writer J.G. Ballards hugely transgressive 1973 novel starring James Spader and Holly Hunter. Spader stars as James Ballard, a film producer whose deviant sexual desires are awakened by a near fatal automobile accident with Dr. Helen Remington. Soon the pair, alongside Ballard's wife Catherine, are drawn into an underground world of car crash fetishism presided over by renegade scientist Vaughan. Danger, sex and death become entwined as eroticism and technology join together in a disturbing, deadly union. Awarded the Special Jury Prize at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival for originality, daring and audacity, Crash remains an incredibly subversive and confrontational piece of cinema.

A triple bill of the 'Look Who's Talking' films. In 'Look Who's Talking' (1989), Mollie (Kirstie Alley) is pregnant by Albert (George Segal), a married man who won't leave his wife. When her contractions start, she leaps into a taxi, driven by James (John Travolta) who accompanies her not only to the hospital but into the delivery room.

The dogs take an instant dislike to each other, but the parents are too tied up with their own problems to notice. When Mollie discovers that Samantha has whisked her husband off for a secret rendezvous on Christmas Eve, she determines to intercept them with kids and dogs in tow.
