The Princess Bride is on AMC currently and will repeat through the Holiday Season. Great story and some iconic performances, arguably some of the actors' best ever.

To Kill a Mockingbird
Classic tale of life in the south told through the eyes of a Scout, the young daughter of attorney Atticus Finch.
Eye opening portrayal of racial tensions in the depression era 1930s.

Just watched 2000 film, "The Body" starring Antonio Banderas.
It is running free at crackle.com until Jan. 1st 2013.
Here is the link: The Body at crackle dot com (http://www.crackle.com/c/The_Body)

The Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4ENovAaRG0

Description from crackle site:

A catholic priest (Banderas) is assigned to investigate an archaeological find in the Middle East (found by an archaeologist played by Williams) of a crucified body from the 1st century... that may be the man the world knows as Jesus Christ.

To find the truth, he will risk his life and challenge his faith. In the cradle of faith that is Jerusalem, two seemingly mismatched people from different worlds and cultures, a Vatican-appointed Jesuit priest (Antonio Banderas) and an Israeli archaeologist (Olivia Williams) make a tenuous allianceto investigate a find that threatens the very foundations of Western religion. It also threatens toblow apart the region's fragile peace.
