This 1971 Disney classic has lost none of its charm and the Sherman brothers songs still pack plenty of hummable zip. This is the original theatrical cut rather than the extended "roadshow" restoration previously available on DVD.

A late-career action outing by John Wayne as the titular Chicago cop on a mission to retrieve a mobster from Great Britain. It's cheesy '70s fun with a sly turn by the Duke.

Good jokes are far more scarce in the follow up to the 2013 found-footage horror movie spoof. Marlon Wayans and Jaime Pressly star.
