A dog is transported to an alien planet whose ruler is bent on going to Earth for world domination.
Maybe it’s a Canadian product of its time, but I find it simple, wholesome, and good for very young and very smart kids.

After a disaster, a pleasure theme park re-opens with a new population of robots.
Although this one has held up well, it does show its age. It’s still spectacularly well-made, and especially well-written.

The past returns to haunt a retired crime boss.
Quite watchable. I think it’s trivially surpassed by a lot of movies, but this has a reasonable simplicity without creating too much of a superhuman protagonist.

A break-up service has financial troubles caused by love itself.
On a re-watch all this time later, it’s really cringe and difficult to watch. If you’re into this sort of bubblegum “romance” then it’s a definite recommended.

Two people connect because of a portal through time in the shape of a mailbox.
Awkward in various ways, but I can see the charm. Not recommended because The Lake House – (2006 movie) is vastly superior.
This inspired The Lake House – (2006 movie), which is a lot better.

A mailbox sends objects back and forth through time, and it’s discoverers only think to write love letters.
Very well-paced and thoughtful; highly recommended.
Inspired by Il Mare – (2000 movie)
