I think you could just replace the while loop code with

PHP Code:

while ($leader_movies = $db->fetch_array($leader_moviess))         
{ 
  $title = substr($leader_movies[tht], 0, 30);
  $leader_movie.=" 
    <div class='alt1'> 
    <a href='showthread.php?t=$leader_movies[threadid]'><b>$title</b></a><br> 
    <br> 
    </div> "; 
} 


or if you want something more fancy you could do something like:

PHP Code:

while ($leader_movies = $db->fetch_array($leader_moviess))         
{ 
  $title = $leader_movies[tht];
  if (strlen($title) > 30)
  {
     $title = substr($title, 0, 27) . '...';
  }
  $leader_movie.=" 
    <div class='alt1'> 
    <a href='showthread.php?t=$leader_movies[threadid]'><b>$title</b></a><br> 
    <br> 
    </div> "; 
}
