Amazing Grace
A pious, church-goin' widow and grandma, Grace (Mabley) has a mouth that could take on the devil himself, and the resolve to smack down an even bigger evil: politics! When she learns that her neighbor, mayoral candidate Welton (Moses Gunn), is nothin' more than a white man's pawn, she takes him under her wing and hits the street... as his campaign manager! Now the blue-blood establishment has a no-nonsense, go-get-em' granny to deal with in a battle for the Baltimore vote! STREET DATE: JANUARY 27.
Pork Chop Hill
Lt. Joe Clemons has been given the order: take Pork Chop Hill. If It's taken by the Chinese, U.S. negotiators at the Panmunjom peace conference would lose face with their Communist adversaries - and unthinkable outcome. And so, Clemons leads his troops into combat, to fight for an object that they know to be strategically pointless. But they also know that an order and they must take Pork Chop Hill - or die trying - so that millions can live in freedom tomorrow for what Clemons and his men will sacrifice today. STREET DATE: JANUARY 27.
King: The Martin Luther King Story
In America during the 1950s and '60s, the civil rights movement found its leader in a Southern Baptist minister. Using lyrical eloquence, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., motivated masses of people - black and white - to demand equality by way of nonviolent protest. But in spite of his peaceful agenda, Dr. King was often the target of terrible violence. He was never swayed from his path, however; for by the time he was assassinated in 1968, Dr. King had already defined a dream that would change a nation forever. STREET DATE: JANUARY 27.
A Hole in the Head
Meet Tony (Frank Sinatra), a wannabe big shot who's constantly broke. And while the carefree widower may not have money, he is rich in one respect: He's got the unconditional love of his young son Ally (Eddie Hodges). But when Tony asks his wealthy brother Mario (Edward G. Robinson) for a loan, Mario, who disapproves of Tony's swinging lifestyle, agrees to back his brother on one condition: settle down or give him custody of Ally! Tony may be desperate, but he'd have to have A Hole in the Head to agree to Mario's terms... wouldn't he? STREET DATE: JANUARY 27.
Return to Me
It took a lot of coaxing to get Bob (Duchovny), a recently widowed architect, to go on a blind date at a quirky Irish-Italian eatery. Once there, he's smitten instantly...not with his date, but with the sharp-witted waitress, Grace (Driver). With unsolicited help from Grace's match-making Grandfather (Carroll O'Connor), Bob asks her out. And as their relationship blossoms, everything seems to be going great, until an unbelievable truth is revealed...one that could easily break both of their hearts for good. STREET DATE: JANUARY 27.
