One of the looniest pictures to come along in some time, Stir Crazy teams two of the most brilliant and zany comic performers of all time: Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder.
Skip (Wilder) and Harry (Pryor) have both been fired from their jobs, so they take off in their van for California to seek fame and fortune, but somewhere along the way the van conks out and they're broke and...well, they have to eat, right? So they land a gig as singing and dancing woodpeckers to promote a bank opening. When two bank robbers steal their costumes and stick up the bank, guess who gets the blame?
Skip and Harry are carted off to the state penitentiary for 125 years. They try to keep their sanity and their lives amidst a sadistic warden, a hulking mass-murderer and an inter-prison rodeo - all with great hilarity.

Cleavon Little plays an escaped black convict who ends up being
given the poison chalice job of the new Rockridge Sheriff by
scheming railroad developer and politician Hedley LaMarr (Harvey
Korman). Notionally sent in to protect the ungrateful Rockridge
community from marauding gangs, his only ally turns out to be
alcoholic former gunslinger The Waco Kid (Gene Wilder). Though
initially expressing racial prejudice the townsfolk eventually
adopt the Sheriff to help them outwit Hedley LaMarr, deciding to
construct an exact replica of their town to fool the invading
posse. The film descends into postmodern chaos as the action spills
out of the film set into wider Hollywood.
John Wayne went against the tide of public opinion to both direct
and star in a war epic that seeks to justify America's involvement
in Vietnam. A commander (Wayne) is sent onto the battlefield to
lead a regiment on a mission to kidnap a Vietcong general. As
events unfold, a pacifist journalist (David Janssen) covering the
sorti is gradually persuaded to accept the justness of the war.

Superman - The Movie (1978)
Sent by his parents from the planet Krypton just before its destruction, Superman (Christopher Reeve) fights on his adopted planet Earth for truth and justice. With special powers such as flight, super-strength, and X-ray vision, he must thwart the villainous Lex Luthor all while maintaining his alter ego Clark Kent, a bumbling reporter at The Daily Planet.
Superman 2 (1980)
Superman (Christopher Reeve) foils the plot of terrorists by hurtling their nuclear device into outer space, but the bomb's shock waves free the Kryptonian villain General Zod (Terence Stamp) and his henchmen Ursa (Sarah Douglas) and Non (Jack O'Halloran) from their imprisonment. Traveling to Earth, they threaten the planet with destruction at the same time that Superman decides to renounce his superpowers in order to live a normal life as Clark Kent with his new love, Lois Lane (Margot Kidder).
Superman 3 (1983)
Computer programmer Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor) is hired by financial tycoon Ross Webster (Robert Vaughn) to seize control of a weather satellite and annihilate Colombia's coffee crop. When Superman (Christopher Reeve) manages to thwart the plan, Webster commands Gorman to use the satellite to locate kryptonite, the Man of Steel's mortal weakness. But a missing unknown element in the kryptonite -- replaced by Gorman with tar -- causes an unintended side effect when presented to Superman.
Superman 4: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Seeing the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in a nuclear arms race that could lead to Earth's destruction, Superman (Christopher Reeve) decides that he must take action. He collects all the nuclear warheads from the world and throws them into space. Meanwhile, Superman's nemesis, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman), has broken out of prison with a new scheme. He clones Superman with radioactive material to create Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow), a being just as powerful as the man of steel.
Superman Returns (2006)
Adventure sequel set after the events of 'Superman II'. After eliminating General Zod and the other Kryptonian arch-villains, Ursa and Non, Superman (Brandon Routh) leaves Earth to search for his former home planet, Krypton. When he arrives he finds nothing but remnants and returns to Earth. Upon his return, he finds a Metropolis that doesn't need him anymore. Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) is engaged to a relative of his boss (James Marsden), and to make matters worse, his arch-nemesis Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) has contrived a plot to build a continent using the crystals of Krypton that will wipe out most of North America. Superman must again race against time to stop the psychopathic Luthor before it's too late.
