This documentary follows Jiro Ono, widely regarded as one of the best, if not the best, sushi chef in the world as he pursues perfection in his craft and passes on his legacy to his sons. How hard is it to be the best? It took one of his apprentices four months before he was able to make one of their simplest dishes, an egg sushi. Magnolia Pictures  Too Cute The aptly named Too Cute follows litters of kittens, puppies and a host of other fuzzy animals from birth to adolescence. Need we say more?

Magnolia Pictures  Big Trouble In Little China What do you do when your future bride is kidnapped by a sorcerer who wears way too much foundation? You call Kurt Russell. This cult classic follows Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) as he helps his friend Wang Chi (Dennis Dun) save his green-eyed fiancee from the sorcerer Lo Pan (James Hong) who intends to sacrifice her to break an ancient curse. 20th Century Fox  Amélie This French romantic comedy follows Amélie (Audrey Tautou), a shy waitress who decides to improve the lives of those around her. The film holds the record of being the highest grossing French film to be released in the US. Miramax  The Truman Show Ever have the feeling that you were being watched? The Truman Show starring Jim Carrey follows the life of Truman Burbank, whose every moment, unbeknownst to him, is literally broadcast for the entire world to see.
