Two Flags West (1950) DVD5

Two Flags West is set in the waning days of the Civil War. Colonel Clay Tucker (Joseph Cotten) is one of several Confederate prisoners who agree to fight alongside Union soldiers against the Indians in New Mexico. Tucker's Union commander Kenniston (Jeff Chandler) despises all "Johnny Rebs," holding them responsible for the death of his brother. Kenniston has other problems too; he is deeply in love with his sister-in-law Elena (Linda Darnell), but refuses to express his devotion out of loyalty to his dead sibling. He also hates Indians with a passion, and has endangered the safety of his fort by brutally killing a chief's son. There seems to be only one way for Kenniston to purge the demons within him, and he finds that way during a climactic Indian attack.

The Cholas and Pandyas are two of the four ancient Tamil dynasties that ruled South India. In 1279 A.D. as the last great Chola dynasty is collapsing and the Pandya empire rises to take control, driving the Cholas out of their own territory, the Chola emperor sends his son and the Chola people to a secret location to hide them and ensure that the dynasty lives on. The Chola people take with them an idol that is sacred to the Pandyas. Though the enraged Pandyan army search every location, the Cholas, along with the stolen idol, seem to have vanished forever, waiting, as legend has it, for the day when a saviour will appear to them to lead them out of hiding.
Skip forward a few centuries to the present day, and people are still searching for the, now legendary, hidden Chola kingdom. Every person that has gone looking for it - based on ancient clues left by the original Pandyan soldiers seeking the hidden city - mysteriously vanishes.

Caro Michele / Dear Michael (1976) DVD9

Michael is the younger son of a middle-class family, a strong-willed and free-thinking fellow, who is off in some distant country fighting for a revolutionary cause. Everyone in the family writes to him, describing the events of their lives, as they drift into a kind of conventionality which would perhaps have horrified them earlier. Only Michael's girlfriend Mara (Mariangela Melato), the mother of his child, retains her independence, even though it is through the help of Michael's increasingly conventional friends and family that she survives.

Ban zhi yan / Metade Fumaca / Half Cigarette (2000) DVD5

The exotic sounding title of Riley Yip's Metade Fumaca means half smoked in Portugese, and refers to half a cigarette carried around by Roy (Eric Tsang) for the last thirty years.
The memory haunts Roy, who returns to Hong Kong after almost 30 years in Brazil to settle an old grudge before he dies from Alzheimer's. Claiming to be a former gangster known as Mountain Leopard, he enlists the help of a young street punk, Smokey (Nicholas Tse), to find a former enemy, Nine Dragons (Chan Wai-min).
Back in the '70s, the two vied over a mysterious beauty (Shu Qi), and the young Nine Dragons (Sam Lee), losing out, shot Roy (Stephen Fung) in the back and dumped him on a boat to Brazil. Or at least, that is how Roy tells it. Smokey discovers the truth is somewhat different.
