Directed by Oscar® nominee Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), this Academy Award®-winning adaptation by Emma Thompson of Jane Austen's classic novel tells the story of the Dashwood sisters: pragmatic Elinor (Thompson) and passionate Marianne (Kate Winslet). When their father dies unexpectedly, his estate must pass by law to his son from his first marriage, leaving Mr. Dashwood's current wife and daughters without a home and with barely enough money to live on. As both sisters struggle to find romantic fulfillment in a society obsessed with financial and social status-Elinor with shy, charming Edward (Hugh Grant), and Marianne with either the dashing Willoughby (Greg Wise) or the haunted Colonel Brandon (Alan Rickman)-they must learn to mix sense with sensibility in their dealings with both money and men.
It's 1967, and 17-year-old Susanna Kaysen (Winona Ryder) is like a lot of teenagers: confused, insecure, struggling to make sense of the rapidly changing world around her. The psychiatrist she meets with (courtesy of her parents), however, gives this behavior a name, Borderline Personality Disorder, and whisks her away to Claymoore Hospital. Here, Susanna joins a shadow world of eccentric young women, among them charming sociopath Lisa (Angelina Jolie), pampered "Daddy's girl" Daisy (Brittany Murphy), and burn victim Polly (Elisabeth Moss). Guided by no-nonsense ward nurse Valerie (Whoopi Goldberg) and the hospital's head psychiatrist, Dr. Wick (Vanessa Redgrave), Susanna must choose between the worlds of those who belong on the inside of the institution and the often difficult world of reality on the outside.
Set in 1973, a pivotal time in the history of rock and roll, Almost Famous chronicles the funny and poignant coming of age of 15-year-old William (Patrick Fugit). When his love of music lands him an assignment from Rolling Stone to interview up-and-coming band Stillwater-fronted by guitarist Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup) and singer Jeff Bebe (Jason Lee)-William embarks on an eye-opening journey on tour with the band, over the objections of his protective mother (Frances McDormand). With the help of the lovely “band-aid” Penny Lane (Kate Hudson), William finds himself being drawn into the band's inner circle. But as the young reporter loses the objectivity required to tell his story honestly, he learns a life-changing lesson about the importance of family-the ones we inherit, and the ones we create.
Zhang Ziyi was nominated for a Golden Globe for her moving portrayal of the young woman who, sold by her family, aims to become a geisha in the hopes of wooing a powerful man who once showed her kindness-the Chairman (Ken Watanabe). Her circuitous path to her destiny is littered with obstacles, however, as Sayuri (as she comes to be known) negotiates the secretive, complex and political netherworld of prewar Japan geisha/teahouse society. A power struggle with resident geisha Hatsumomo (Gong Li) nearly dooms Sayuri to the life of a maid. But she is taken under the wing of Hatsumomo's rival, Mameha (Michelle Yeoh), who prepares Sayuri for her entrance into geisha society. World War II intervenes, changing everything, but Sayuri perseveres, following her dream to the end.

A winner of two Academy Awards® among five nominations, Jonathan Demme's Philadelphia stars Tom Hanks as up-and-coming young lawyer Andrew Beckett, who has just been fired by his prestigious law firm. Andrew says he's been dismissed because he has AIDS, and prepares to sue his former employer. But his old firm is so powerful that no attorney in Philadelphia wants to take it on, until Andrew finally goes in desperation to homophobic ambulance chaser Joe Miller (Denzel Washington), who could use the money and exposure. For Andrew the battle is clear-cut: he's fighting for his reputation, for his life, for justice. But for Joe, separated from Andrew by a deep social and cultural chasm, there is a different kind of struggle as he confronts his own fears and prejudices about homosexuals.
