King of Hearts This film was a touchstone of the late 1960s, when it was seen as an antiwar allegory for a world in which madness seemed to reign. Of course, that would probably be true whenever this movie was shown, wouldn't it? Directed by Philippe de Broca and set during World War I, King of Hearts stars Alan Bates as a Scottish soldier separated from his unit in France. He wanders into ......Price: $49.99 6 Merchants Used & new

Stalingrad surveys the misery of the battle of Stalingrad, the winter siege that cost the lives of almost one and a half million people, Russian defenders and German invaders alike. Not ......List Price: $29.98 Price: $15.72 You Save: $14.26 (48%) 18 Merchants Used & new

Lawrence of Arabia (Widescreen Edition) There's no getting around a simple, basic truth: watching Lawrence of Arabia in any home-video format represents a compromise.

Lion of the Desert (Ws Rmst) Destined to remain a dubious footnote in books of movie trivia, this occasionally impressive epic from 1981 was financed with a budget of $35 million by Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi, who previously attempted the role of movie producer with the critically roasted Mohammad: Messenger of God.

PT 109 (Widescreen Edition) John F. Kennedy lived long enough to see this Hollywood account of his Navy career and his heroism following a ruthless attack by a Japanese ship on his small patrol craft.
