Devdas is the sad love story of a high caste young lad and a girl from a lowcaste family. With a lot of singing, dancing, and dramatic turns of fate, it won seven India International Film Awards in 2003.

When Sarah wishes the Goblin King to take away her infant step brother, she doesn't know what she is bringing on herself. Featured are Jim Henson's marvelous cast of puppets and real life performances by David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly.

The Prince of Halloweentown desires his fair share of sinister Christmas presents. This lively stop-motion animation is credited mainly to Tim Burton who develops a dark but endearing cast of characters.

For Pussy, the coolest of all spies, dealing with the dangers that come from working for the secret service is a piece of cake, garnished with somewhat confusing love affairs. Here's a cheerful piece of work by the only Thai director to have won film awards at Cannes.

The Vista Entertainment Group

Established about 13 years ago, Vista theaters on the fourth floor of Kad Suan Kaew introduced the people of Chiang Mai to the multiplex theaters and the thrills of Hollywood magic. Of the seven digital-sound theaters in Kad Suan Kaew, Vista 1 - 4 offer a large capacity and big screen, while the rest are of medium and low capacity. Vista Group also has four other large capacity theaters, of which two at the 12 Huay Kaew arcade opposite Kad Suan Kaew also show English-speaking films.
