Emerging as a household name through his work on the then-new skit comedy show SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, Dan Aykroyd has since expanded his repertoire considerably. It now includes film acting, for which he received an Academy Award nomination (DRIVING MISS DAISY), as well as music recording, entrepreneurial endeavors (his House of Blues chain is one of the largest live music promoters in the world), and writing (he received an Emmy Award for his script work on SNL). But the multitalented performer`s work on SNL remains exemplary of his depthless comedic talent, remaining fresh almost three decades later. The acts he became famous for are on display in this collection, including his role as one half of the Blues Brothers, the skit upon which the classic film was based. The Coneheads, Fred Jarvin: Male Prostitute, and the
wild and crazy
Czechoslovakian Playboys, also make appearances.

Charlie Chaplin has a dual role in this film, his first with dialogue. He plays a sweet-natured Jewish barber and a murderous Hitler-type dictator with such satirical impact that it counterbalanced the oratory of Adolf Hitler. Particularly delectable comic scenes are Hynkel's balletic pas de deux with a globe, and a cream cake fight between Hynkel and Napoloni, the dictator of Bacteria.Additional Release Material:Chaplin: A Legacy of Laughter CollectionBonus Scene - SUNNYSIDE (1918) (Note: InspiredDictator's barber scene.)Newsreel Footage - MovieTone (1933) (Note: About Hitler)Additional Products: Program for the Premiere Notes, Drafts, and Records for the Final Speech(Jacket includes synopsis, chapter, and frame guide and biographies of Charles Chaplin and Paulette Goddard.)

From British director Nigel Cole, whose sweet-hearted comedies CALENDAR GIRLS and SAVING GRACE shared a similar combination of humor and true emotion, A LOT LIKE LOVE is the story of two friends who seem destined to love each other--if they can ever realize that themselves. Meeting on a flight from Los Angeles to New York, naive Oliver (Ashton Kutcher) and tough Emily (Amanda Peet) have sex in an airplane lavatory before learning each other's names. Despite this intimate introduction, Emily is uninterested in getting to know the guy she just picked up, telling Oliver frankly that he's not her type. The two part ways, but end up running into each other hours later in what proves to be just the first of many semi-coincidental romantic encounters. After spending a fun day together in the city, Oliver gives Emily his home number and tells her to call him in 6 years, once he's gotten his life and career figured out. When an unforeseen breakup leaves Emily dateless for New Year's Eve a few years later, she calls Oliver and they meet again. In the years that have passed since their first meeting, Emily has taken up acting, Oliver has started an online diaper-selling business, and both have gotten more flattering haircuts. But Emily is disappointed to learn that Oliver is moving to San Francisco for business the next day. Over the course of a few years, Emily and Oliver grow to depend on each other in times of crisis, and develop a solid friendship. While each sporadic encounter contains an undeniable spark, the timing never seems to be right, with several bad relationships, career transitions, and location changes getting in the way. But will the pair realize their feelings for each other and get together before it's too late?
