From the box:

Howard Hughes shocked the film world in 1943 with this high-voltage western adventure that featured the steamy screen debut of voluptuous Jane Russell. Notorious for its time, this provocative retelling of the sagebrush saga of Billy the Kid and Doc Holliday — and their heated rivalry for the love of the sultry Rio — explodes in a gripping and unforgettable climax as their fateful destinies collide with the legendary Sheriff Pat Garrett.

From the box:

Ante up — for laughter and action aplenty! Mel Gibson is sly gambler Bret Maverick. Jodie Foster is a charming scam artist and James Garner (the original Bret Maverick, from the Emmy-winning TV series) is a laid-back lawman in Maverick, the crowd-pleasing hit that deals you a winning hand.

With more twists than a switchback trail and more sleights of hand than a shell game, Maverick is rollicking proof of how the West was fun. A riverboat poker tourney promises a winner-take-all $500,000… and Bret aims to be the winner who does the taking! But first he must cope with the hangman’s noose, a runaway stage, a wily Indian chief, outlaws, ingrates, a bagful of rattlesnakes and more close calls than a long-tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs. So don’t miss the excitement. The jokers — Gibson, Foster and Garner — are wild!

Alice on VHS. Starring Kristýna Kohoutová. Based on the classic Lewis Carroll story, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Directed by Jan Svankmajer. 1988.

From the box:

Disney + Bunuel = Jan Svankmajer’s Alice

Alice is sitting in her room full of toys reading Lewis Carroll’s story, during which she too is carried off to Wonderland. As she follows the elusive White Rabbit so begins this dream expedition into the landscape of childhood, through many dangerous adventures, and ultimately to her trial before the King and Queen of Hearts.

Jan Svankmajer, the Czech master of animation, has fulfilled a lifetime ambition in this personal interpretation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. Svankmajer’s Alice remains true to the absurdity of the Carroll’s original, but bears the stamp of his own distinctive style and obsessions. Combining techniques of animation and live action, he gives to this classic tale of childhood fantasies a new and fascinating dimension.
