Synopsis

Four classic films from one of the greatest living American filmmakers. Includes Boxcar Bertha (1972, 72 mins.), Scorsese's second feature and the gory sequel to Roger Corman''s Bloody Mama. It stars Barbara Hershey as an orphaned woman on the run from a corrupt railroad company in Depression-era America. The Last Waltz (Special Edition) (1978, 117 mins.) documents the final performance by The Band, interspersing concert footage with studio sessions and candid interviews to create "arguably, the best of all rock-concert documentaries" (Pauline Kael). Filmed simultaneousl y, New York, New York (Special Edition) (1977, 163 mins.) features Liza Minnelli and Robert Deniro in a flashy musical spectacle that recalls the heyday of the Big Band Era in New York. Raging Bull (Collector''s Edition) (1980, 130 mins.), a hallmark film of the 1980s, stars Robert Den iro as middle-weight boxing champ Jake LaMotta.
