Directed by Mike Newell, the fourth installment to the Harry Potter series finds Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) wondering why his legendary scar -- the famous result of a death curse gone wrong -- is aching in pain, and perhaps even causing mysterious visions. Before he can think too much about it, however, Harry boards the train to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he will attend his fourth year of magical education. Shortly after his reunion with his best friends, Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson), Harry is introduced to yet another Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher: the grizzled Mad-Eye Moody (Brendan Gleeson), a former dark wizard catcher who agreed to take on the infamous "DADA" professorship as a personal favor to Headmaster Dumbledore (Michael Gambon). Of course, Harry's wishes for an uneventful school year are almost immediately shattered when he is unexpectedly chosen, along with fellow student Cedric Diggory (Robert Pattinson), as Hogwarts' representative in the Tri-Wizard Tournament, which awards whoever completes three magical tasks the most skillfully with a thousand-galleon purse and the admiration of the international wizard community. As difficult as it is to deal with his schoolwork, friendships, and the tournament at the same time (not to mention his feelings toward the ever unfathomable Professor Snape (Alan Rickman), Harry doesn't realize that the most feared wizard in the world, Lord Voldemort, is anticipating the tournament, as well. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

One of the most feared men in human history experiences a bit of gender-bending comedy in this short film from director Graham Rose. Set in an alternate reality in which Adolf Hitler managed to survive the events of World War II, the former dictator has now been forced into hiding in post-war London. As the days draw out and Hitler eagerly awaits his transportation to Argentina, the fearsome leader must don women's clothing if he is to venture outside and find food without being recognized. His ruse works a little too well however, and before "Mrs. Meitlemeihr" knows what's happening, "she" is spurning the advances of her smitten elderly neighbor. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

According to BBC publicity, the three-part miniseries Vote for Them was based on a true story. The setting was Egypt in 1943, during the period in which the British held off the Axis forces in the Middle East. Sick and tired of unfair and often idiotic treatment by their officers, a group of off-duty British soldiers set up their own ad-hoc government -- not to mention a parliament and debating society. As this bid for democracy within the ranks grew in popularity, the "brass" naturally sought out ways to nip it in the bud. Vote for Them originally aired in 1989. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The TARDIS travels to the distant future, only to be apparently destroyed in a crash-landing. Surviving the ordeal, the Doctor (Peter Davison), Tegan (Janet Fielding), and Turlough (Mark Strickson) discover that they have landed on the planet Frontios -- which has been selected as the new home of a group of colonists from the nuclear-devastated planet Earth. Not unexpectedly, there are several dangers lurking behind each corner in the four-episode adventure "Frontios"; written by Christopher H. Bidmead, the first episode originally aired on January 26, 1984. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the third episode of the four-part story "Frontios," the titular planet has become the new home for the crew of the TARDIS, as well as a group of survivors from a nuclear holocaust on planet earth. But all is not tranquil for the new arrivals, thanks to the presence of a hyperintelligent insectoid race called the Tractators. Having burrowed beneath the planet's surface, the Tractators intend to convert Frontios into their own private space vessel -- which of course will spell the doom for everyone else in the vicinity, including the Doctor (Peter Davison). Originally telecast on February 2, 1984, "Frontios, Episode 3" was written by Christopher H. Bidmead. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
