- 5Tom Berenger, Sela Ward, Andy GriffithRustlers' Rhapsody is an American comedy-Western film. It is a parody of many Western conventions, most visibly of the singing cowboy films that were prominent in the 1930s and the 1940s. The film was written and directed by Hugh Wilson and stars Tom Berenger as a stereotypical good-guy cowboy, Rex O'Herlihan, who is drawn out of a black-and-white film and transferred into a more self-aware setting. Though supposedly Wilson received his inspiration from working at CBS Studio Center, the former Republic Pictures backlot, the movie was filmed in Spain. Patrick Wayne, son of Western icon John Wayne, co-stars, along with Andy Griffith, Fernando Rey, G.W. Bailey, Marilu Henner and Sela Ward. Henner was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award as Worst Supporting Actress.

- 7Marilu Henner, Dean Jones, Kevin ConroyBatman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero is a 1998 direct-to-video animated feature film, the second based on Batman: The Animated Series, serving as a stand-alone sequel to Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. It won the Annie Award for Best Home Video Animation, and was produced by Warner Bros. Animation. The film was delayed for a while due to the negative critical reaction to Batman & Robin, a live-action film that also featured Mr. Freeze as an antagonist. Nevertheless, SubZero received a strong positive response from critics, faring much better than Batman & Robin. The movie is the second of a trilogy of animated movies based on Batman: The Animated Series, preceded by Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and followed by Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman.
- Kevin Conroy, Efrem Zimbalist, Bob HastingsIn the animated film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Batman (voiced by Kevin Conroy) finds himself caught in a deadly game.

As he battles to clear his name, Bruce Wayne is forced to confront his past and the love he left behind, Andrea Beaumont (Dana Delany). This noir-style thriller weaves in elements of romance and mystery, delivering a fresh take on the Dark Knight's lore. The film presents a compelling exploration of Batman's dual identity and the line between justice and revenge.
