HISTORY LESSON I: "When we did Pretty Woman, everything was so simple. We sat around together in a trailer. He played the guitar, she found a dog, she petted the dog. But when we did Runaway Bride, she was on her cell phone booking Notting Hill into theaters, and he's on his cell phone booking the Dailai Lama. . . . Once in a while I would say, "Can we do another take? We're making a movie here!' " -- director Garry Marshall, tracking the development of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere

HISTORY LESSON II: The best-selling videos at Historychannel.com: 1. War of the Century set (World War II) 2. Fire at Sea (ships that catch fire at sea) 3. Rudolf Hess: The Man Who Died Twice.
