In the latest episode of WN MOVIE TALK PODCAST, join me, Trev as I continue my cinematic journey through my personal DVD collection, diving into the uncharted territories of "The Films That I Own That I Haven't Watched Yet!" In this episode, four titles are plucked at random, each holding the promise of untold stories and undiscovered gems.

"A SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM" (1990)

Directed by Jan Egleson, "A Shock To The System" is a darkly comedic thriller starring Michael Caine. The film follows Graham Marshall (Caine), an ambitious executive whose life takes an unexpected turn when a series of frustrations pushes him to the brink. What unfolds is a gripping tale of corporate intrigue, moral ambiguity, and the shocking consequences of one man's desperate actions.

Starring Michael Caine, Elizabeth McGovern, Peter Riegert

"THE OUTSIDERS" (1983)

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, "The Outsiders" is a coming-of-age drama adapted from S.E. Hinton's novel. Set in the 1960s, the film revolves around the lives of two rival groups, the Greasers and the Socs, and the profound impact of friendship, loyalty, and societal expectations on a group of young friends. With an ensemble cast of rising stars, including Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, and Patrick Swayze, "The Outsiders" is a timeless exploration of adolescence and identity.

Starring C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez

"ALL IS LOST" (2013)

Directed by J.C. Chandor, "All is Lost" is a gripping survival drama featuring Robert Redford in a virtually solo performance. The film follows an unnamed sailor (Redford) who faces an epic battle for survival when his yacht collides with a shipping container, leaving him stranded at sea. With minimal dialogue, the movie relies on Redford's powerful acting and Chandor's masterful direction to convey the intense struggle for life in the vast, unforgiving ocean.

"DEFIANCE" (2008)

Directed by Edward Zwick, "Defiance" is a war drama based on the true story of the Bielski partisans. Starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber, the film unfolds in Eastern Europe during World War II, where the Bielski brothers take refuge in the dense forests to escape the Nazis. As they build a community of Jewish survivors, they not only strive for their own survival but also engage in acts of resistance against the forces that seek to annihilate them.

Starring Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber, Jamie Bell
