Though The Silmarillion may seem slow and plodding, don’t let that fool you! J.R.R. Tolkein’s posthumous masterpiece is an intensely epic piece of fantasy action literature that takes itself seriously and is all the better for it.

North by Northwest
Alfred Hitchcock’s classic spy movie North by Northwest pits everyman Cary Grant against a crop duster, and blonde bombshell Eve Marie Saint against Mount Rushmore. Let’s hope Lincoln doesn’t sneeze.
John Carter of Mars
Travel to the red planet in Edgar Rice Burrough’s classic science fiction novel, A Princess of Mars. Be amazed as an ordinary Virginia gentleman named John Carter leaps tall buildings in a single bound, fights the giant green Martian hordes, and falls in love with the beautiful Dejah Thoris. Captain Kirk would be jealous.
