Here are the synopsis for each film:

Brief Encounter

Director: David Lean

Cast: Celia Johnson, Trevor Howard

Running Time: 87 mins

Laura Jesson accidentally meets Alex Harvey at a railway station on her way home from a neighbouring town.

Black Swan

Director: Darren Aronofsky

Cast: Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Winona Ryder, Barbara Hershey

Running Time:108 mins

“You can’t tear your eyes away” (Entertainment Weekly) from this “wicked, psychosexual thriller” (Daily Variety) starring ACADEMY AWARD® WINNER Natalie Portman* and directed by Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler ). Portman delivers “the performance of her career” (Vanity Fair ) as Nina, a stunningly talented but dangerously unstable ballerina on the verge of stardom. Pushed to the breaking point by her driven artistic director (Vincent Cassel) and the threat posed by a seductive rival dancer (Mila Kunis), Nina’s tenuous grip on reality starts to slip away – plunging her into a waking nightmare. *Actress, Black Swan, 2010

Marnie

Running Time:118 mins

Blue Valentine

Running Time:120 mins

BLUE VALENTINE is a story of love found and love lost told in past and present moments in time. Flooded with romantic memories of their courtship, Dean (Ryan Gosling) and Cindy (Michelle Williams) use one night to try and save their failing marriage.

500 Days Of Summer

Director: Marc Webb

Cast: Zooey Deschanel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Geoffrey Arend

Running Time: 95 mins

This is a story of boy meets girl, begins the wry, probing narrator of 500 DAYS OF SUMMER, and with that the film takes off at breakneck speed into a funny, true-to-life and unique dissection of the unruly and unpredictable year-and-a-half of one young man’s no-holds-barred love affair. Tom, the boy, still believes, even in this cynical modern world, in the notion of a transforming, cosmically destined, lightning-strikes-once kind of love. Summer, the girl, doesn’t. Not at all. But that doesn’t stop Tom from going after her, again and again, like a modern Don Quixote, with all his might and courage.

Romeo+Juliet

Director: Baz Luhrmann

Cast: Claire Danes, Brian Dennehy, Leonardo Dicaprio, John Leguizamo, Harold Perrineau, Pete Postlethwaite, Paul Sorvino

Running Time: 95 mins

Shakespeare's famous play is updated to the hip modern suburb of Verona still retaining its original dialogue. The gun-toting members of the families wage a vicious war on the streets as the star-crossed lovers meet their tragic destiny.
