Aces High
6.5/10
The first World War is in its third year and aerial combat above the Western Front is consuming the nation's favored children at an appalling rate. By early 1917, the average life-span of a British pilot is less than a fortnight. Such losses place a fearsome strain on Gresham, commanding officer of the squadron. Aces High recreates the early days of the Royal Flying Corps with some magnificently staged aerial battles, and sensitive direction presents a moving portrayal of the futilities of war.
Gold
5.7/10
Rod Slater is the newly appointed general manager of the Sonderditch gold mine, but he stumbles across an ingenious plot to flood the mine, by drilling into an underground lake, so the unscrupulous owners can make a killing in the international gold market.
Blackout
4.7/10
A black comedy of violent criminals who terrorize apartment dwellers during New York's 1977 power blackout.
Survival Run

It soon becomes evident, however, that there is more to these prospectors than they claim, and soon the teens are fleeing for their lives.
Oil
6.1/10

Cave-In!
5.2/10
