Mature Audience

Description
"The most unusual and enchanting musical in years" (Roger Ebert), this cinematic ode to legendary composer Cole Porter is at once buoyantly fun and "heartbreakingly beautiful" (Liz Smith). Oscar® winner Kevin Kline (The Ice Storm) is "perfection" (Rolling Stone) as the elegant and deeply complex Porter in a film that offers "knockout performances" (Gene Shalit) from Natalie Cole, Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, Diana Krall, Alanis Morissette and Robbie Williams, and "melancholy, wit and style to burn" (The Philadelphia Inquirer)! From Paris to Venice to Broadway to Hollywood, the lives of Cole (Kline) and Linda (Ashley Judd) Porter were never less than glamorous and wildly unconventional. Though Cole's thirst for life strained their marriage, Linda never stopped being his muse, inspiring some of the greatest songs of the twentieth century.
Benny And Joon:
Benny runs a car repair shop, and is having trouble keeping a housekeeper to take care of his mentally disturbed sister Joon. Without supervision she tends to set things on fire and create public disturbances. One night they lose in a poker game and have to agree to take in a friend's cousin, Sam, who also has some erratic personality traits. When Joon and Sam begin falling in love, Benny must deal with his feelings about not being needed as much by his sister, and about his plans to put her in a group home.
Return To Me:
Who knew that when he ordered the special, he'd get the dish of his life? David Duchovny's (The X-Files) "flare for romantic comedy" (Rolling Stone) and Minnie Driver's (Good Will Hunting) "charm and exuberance" (New York Observer) ignite sparks in this "warm hearted winner" (Jeffery Craig, Sixty Second Preview) about a waitress and a widower who meet and fall in love. It took a lot to get Bob (Duchovny), a recently widowed architect, to go on a blind date, at a quirky Irish-Italian eatery. Once there, he's instantly smitten not with his date, but with the cheeky waitress, Grace (Driver). With unsolicited help from Grace's match-making Grandfather (O'Connor), Bob asks her out. And as their relationship blossoms everything seems to be going great for these two love-birds, until an unbelievable truth is revealed - one that could easily break both of their hearts for good. An incredible cast including Carroll O'Connor, Robert Loggia, David Alan Grier, Bonnie Hunt, Joely Richardson and James Belushi help make this meeting of destiny a match made in heaven.
