After being institutionalized and barely escaping electric shock therapy (this is a kid’s movie, folks!), Dorothy (Fairuza Balk) discovers she is back in the Land of Oz, and finds the yellow brick road is now a pile of rubble and the Emerald City is in ruins. Discovering that the magical land is now under the control of an evil empire, she sets off to rescue the Scarecrow (Justin Case), the Tin Man, and the Lion with the help of her new friends in the original Oz sequel/prequel no one asked for.

Danny Noonan (Michael O'Keefe), a teen down on his luck, works as a caddy at the snob-infested Bushwood Country Club to raise money for his college education. In an attempt to gain votes for a college scholarship reserved for caddies, Noonan volunteers to caddy for a prominent and influential club member (Ted Knight). Meanwhile, Danny struggles to prepare for the high pressure Caddy Day golf tournament while absorbing New Age advice from wealthy golf guru Ty Webb (Chevy Chase). But you already knew all of that, as well as every line of dialogue. Also starring a very subdued Rodney Dangerfield.

On his way to school, Bastian (Barret Oliver) ducks into a bookstore to avoid bullies. Sneaking away with a book called "The Neverending Story," Bastian begins reading it in the school attic. The novel is about Fantasia, a fantasy land threatened by "The Nothing," a darkness that destroys everything it touches. The kingdom needs the help of a human child to survive. When Bastian reads a description of himself in the book, he begins to wonder if Fantasia is real and needs him to survive. Contrary to the film title’s implication, the runtime is 1 hour and 47 minutes.

As America's stock of athletic young men is depleted during World War II, a professional all-female baseball league springs up in the Midwest, funded by publicity-hungry candy maker Walter Harvey (Garry Marshall). Enter the Rockford Peaches: an all-female professional baseball team led by superstar Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis), her scrappy sister Kit Keller (Lori Petty), a chain-smoking scout (Jon Lovitz), and a washed-up coach (Tom Hanks). Together, they battle their way to fame and glory — though still for a fraction of the pay of male professional athletes. Presented by A Bar of Their Own!

In New York, mysterious radioactive ooze has mutated four sewer turtles into talking, upright-walking, crime-fighting ninjas. The intrepid heroes — Michelangelo (Michelan Sisti & Robbie Rist), Donatello (Leif Tilden & Corey Feldman), Raphael (Josh Pais), and Leonardo (David Forman & Brian Tochi) — are trained in the Ninjutsu arts by their rat sensei, Splinter (Kevin Clash). The heroes must face off against the villainous Shredder — an evil ex-roommate of Splinter’s who apparently decided the best way to fight crime was by committing more of it.

Neal Page (Steve Martin) is an advertising executive who just wants to fly home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his family. But all he gets is misery in the form of Del Griffith (John Candy) — a loud-mouthed, but nevertheless lovable salesman, who leads Neal on a cross-country wild goose chase that keeps Neal just out of arm’s reach of tasting his turkey. As a bonus, sitting in a darkened theater with your family will offer a welcome respite from arguing about politics. Come early for a pre-movie set of toe-tapping, two-tone tunes from Meatraffle SKA!

When the woodworker Geppetto (Christian Rub) sees a falling star, he wishes that the puppet he just finished, Pinocchio (Dickie Jones), could become a real boy. In the night, the Blue Fairy (Evelyn Venable) grants Geppetto's wish and asks Jiminy Cricket (Cliff Edwards) to serve as the wooden boy's conscience. But the naive and trusting Pinocchio falls into the clutches of the wicked Honest John (Walter Catlett), who leads him astray to the sinful Pleasure Island — proving that if your nose doesn’t grow from lying, it probably will from peer pressure.
