The Best of Benny Hill (DVD)
Benny Hill revolutionized sketch comedy with his audacious and long running series that pushed the boundaries of the form and tested the limits of many who found his often crude humor offensive. Along with perpetual foil Jackie Wright and the infamous Hill`s Angels, Benny Hill entertained England as well as the rest of the world with his zany antics and trademark silent chase scenes. Culled from episodes of THE BENNY HILL SHOW aired between 1969 and 1972, THE BEST OF BENNY HILL is a collection of the best sketches and musical bits from those years, pieced together into a feature film.NR"
ACTORS: Benny Hill, Jackie Wright, Hill`s Angels
CB4 (DVD)
Chris Rock stars in this rap version of THIS IS SPINAL TAP as Albert, a suburban wannabe rap star who, along with two friends, has tried everything to break into the music business. However, when Albert is mistakes for an undercover cop by a nasty thug named Murphy, he adopts the newly incarcerated Murphy`s persona and christens his rap group CB4, after Murphy`s cell block address. Vowing to glorify violence and disparage women, CB4 are quickly signed to a lucrative record contract. Soon, the band is selling out concerts, and attracts a nerdy documentary filmmaker (Elliott) to chronicle their rise to the top of the charts among the protests of outraged parents and politicians. Fitfully funny and possessing a fine cast of SNL alums as well as cameos from real life rappers like Flavor Flav, Ice Cube, and Ice-T, CB4 is an excellent spoof of the rap music industry.R"

Meet John Doe (VHS)
Reporter Ann Mitchell (Barbara Stanwyck) is fired from her job by an unscrupulous newspaper tycoon and retaliates by printing a fake suicide note to the editor signed by a fictional John Doe. The letter is picked up by the public as a rallying point, as Mr. Doe claimed to be so distraught by the problems of society that he`d rather end his own life in protest. But the tycoon uses the publicity as part of a secret plan, hiring a down-on-his-luck unemployed man (Gary Cooper) to impersonate Doe--establishing him as an American symbol and creating a new political movement in the process.
