The first of three epic instalments in director Peter Jackson's
blockbuster prequel to 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy. Set in
Middle-Earth 60 years before events in 'The Lord of the Rings', the
story follows the adventures of Hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin
Freeman), who, at the instigation of the wizard Gandalf (Ian
McKellen), suddenly finds himself co-opted into joining a company
of 13 Dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) to help
reclaim the Dwarves' lost kingdom of the Lonely Mountain from the
clutches of Smaug the dragon. After setting out on their quest from
the safety of Bag End, the band of travellers soon find themselves
pitted against a range of strange and fearsome opponents, in
addition to a small, slimy creature known simply as Gollum (Andy
Serkis).
Three classic films starring comedy duo Stan Laurel and Oliver
Hardy. In 'The Dancing Masters' (1943), Stan (Laurel) and Ollie
(Hardy) are owners of a dance school, but are evicted for
non-payment of rent. To raise money, Ollie tries an insurance scam
which involves inflicting injuries on Stan, but the inept pair soon
find themselves mixed up with local gangsters. Watch out for
appearances by long-running Marx Brothers' foil Margaret Dumont and
a youthful Robert Mitchum. In 'A-haunting We Will Go' (1942),
Laurel and Hardy unknowingly offer to help a bunch of crooks
smuggle a wanted man past the police in a coffin. Unfortunately,
the casket gets mixed up with one used by a stage musician, leading
to a comic chase. Finally, in 'The Bullfighters' (1945), Stan and
Ollie are two detectives looking for a female criminal in Mexico.
Stan gets mistaken for a famous matador and is forced to show his
prowess in the bullring.

Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara), an executive at Macy's department
store, believes in taking a common-sense approach to life and is
consequently raising her daughter Susan (Natalie Wood) not to
believe in Santa Claus. This year however, the convictions of both
mother and child are challenged when the kindly old man (Edmund
Gwenn) hired as the store Santa insists that he is in fact the real
thing. No one believes him, some even think he's insane, but he is
willing to go to court to prove his case. Oscars were won by Edmund
Gwenn (Best Supporting Actor) and George Seaton (Best Screenplay)
and the film was remade in 1994 with Richard Attenborough in the
lead.
