Scorchers (1991)
A terrific ensemble movie
As pointed out above, the interplay between Denholm Elliott and James Earl Jones is a small masterpiece. It is Leland Crooke as the father of the bride who steals the whole show --- wondered why he was not in more movies and found that he appears to play this same character no matter what movie he is in and Cajun Fathers-of-the-Bride are probably not being cast all that often. However, the parson, and Tilly as the cuckolded wife give some of those actors best performances as well.
Get another movie enthusiast and settle down for a terrific evening.
I have this movie on LaserDisc but have never seen in available on DVD. If you have a source, I would tell friends.
Insight: Packy (1979)
one of the small gems of 1/2 hour television
Can't bring myself to erase my Betamax copy of this gem (yes, I still have a Betamax and an auto-reverse Laser Disc Player to watch The 12 Chairs and Scorchers and others that didn't make DVD) Klugman as a small-time talent agent who never did anything notable but consistently treated his acquaintances as human beings...
Will God, with the "beatific" smile,(NEWHART), let him in?
These Paulist production gems illuminated very difficult moral choices. The one with Elizabeth Ashley and Bill Bixby as parents with a child who is clearly the victim of abuse was also top notch.
Andrew Duggan as a smug high-end suburban type thinking he is being progressive by selling his McMansion to a black couple, only to find the only reason they want to be there is the schools, not the neighbors.
