Featuring fantastical puppet flora and fauna from Muppet man Jim Henson, this dark but wonderful childrens movie follows Jen and Kira, two young Gelflings who are the last of their kind, as they try to fulfill the prophecy of the Dark Crystal. Jens wise master reveals on his deathbed that only a Gelfling will mend the crystal that cracked 1,000 years ago and placed the land under the dark rule of the evil, selfish Skeksis. To break the prophecy, the Skeksis killed all the Gelflings, and only Jen and Kira escaped their wrath. Now, though, Jen and Kira must journey into the heart of the Skeksis castle to reach the crystal and return the land to its former goodness.
Like all good childrens movies, THE DARK CRYSTAL contains enough scary elements to keep the tension tight and the kids enthralled, while the puppet mastery will impress and tickle adults. THE DARK CRYSTAL was the first co-directorial effort of Frank Oz, who went on to direct THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, IN & OUT, and BOWFINGER, among many other comedies.

Reggae music serves as both soundtrack and plot element in this film starring music legend Jimmy Cliff. Such hits as You Can Get It If You Really Want, Many Rivers to Cross, and Sitting in Limbo, punctuate the film`s action, introducing reggae and its Jamaican roots to a worldwide audience. Here, Cliff plays Ivan Martin, a poor country boy who goes to the city to make money, and becomes a street rebel and a pop idol overnight. In Kingston, Ivan finds nothing but corruption. The record company offers him a mere $20 to release his single, The Harder They Come. Ivan takes to the streets, where he is ensnared by crime. After brutally knifing a man, he serves a prison sentence. Once free, he supports himself by selling marijuana, protecting himself from legal persecution by giving the cops a cut. But that doesn`t keep him from getting mixed up in a police raid. Ivan quickly develops a reputation as a Kingston criminal, and when his single The Harder They Come is finally released, it fuels his bad-boy notoriety. In the film`s tragic conclusion, Ivan is killed in a shoot-out before his musical talent is fully recognized. This popular 1973 film directed by Perry Henzel has become a cult classic and was an important factor in bringing reggae music to the fore. The movie served as a device for promoting Cliff`s album and bringing him visibility as a primary Jamaican artist, on par with Bob Marley.
