Ever After/Edward Scissorhands/Tristan & Isolde

EVER AFTER

Drew Barrymore stars as the put-upon princess-to-be in this fresh look at the classic fairy tale. Orphaned as a child, Danielle (Barrymore) is treated like a servant by her wicked stepmother (Anjelica Huston) and two stepsisters. When Danielle accidentally stumbles onto Prince Henry (Dougray Scott), who's fleeing an arranged marriage, the two inspire each other to resolve their respective troubles in this lushly produced romantic fable.

EDWARD SCISSORHANDS

An inventor (Vincent Price) dies before developing hands for his creation, a boy named Edward (Johnny Depp) who instead has scissors at the end of each arm. Edward lives a monastic existence until an Avon lady (Dianne Wiest) adopts him and takes him to live in the pastel paradise of suburbia. Director Tim Burton's unconventional fairy tale is bursting with offbeat charm and laughs -- as well as visually striking imagery.

TRISTAN & ISOLDE

When gallant English knight Tristan (James Franco) wins the love of beautiful Isolde (Sophia Myles) -- the daughter of the Irish king -- soon after the fall of the Roman Empire, their liaison threatens to destroy the uneasy truce between their respective nations. Rufus Sewell co-stars as the English warlord Lord Marke in director Kevin Reynolds's timeless medieval tale of star-crossed lovers who are doomed by the forces of imperial politics.
