ABC's SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES
THE GREEN MILE
In The Green Mile, which received four Oscar nominations, Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) is in charge of Death Row at a Deep South prison in the 1930s. The Green Mile refers to the green floor leading to the death chamber. A towering black man, John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), arrives in the cell block, having been convicted of the murders of two little girls. Coffey is passive, cooperative and seemingly simpleminded, and he's afraid of the dark, which leads most to doubt he is capable of committing any crime.
Edgecomb is plagued by a lingering infection and worse a vicious guard named Percy (Doug Hutchison) who is related to the governor and wants "to see one cook up close."
The 1999 release was directed by three-time Oscar nominee Frank Darabont. Darabont wrote the screenplay based on the Stephen King novel.
This film carries a TV-14,L,V parental guideline. Due to adult subject matter and violent content, viewer discretion is strongly advised. [720p DD5.1]

Rated PG13 for
Time:118
Genre:Science Fiction, Thriller
A widowed newspaper reporter is drawn to a small West Virginia town to investigate a strange creature that may have supernatural origins. Richard Gere stars as John Klein, the scribe whose own fate became intermingled with the "mothman"--a seven-foot tall mothlike being who appears during disasters and reveals the future to humans. While fears in the town continue to grow, Klein becomes personally involved--thanks to an unnerving series of phone calls from a person or thing--who knows everything about him...and everything that's to come. Laura Linney co-stars as the town's sheriff in this eerie, fact-based chiller that was adapted from John A. Keel's 1975 book. With Will Patton (Gone in Sixty Seconds), Debra Messing (TV's Will and Grace), Lucinda Jenney (Thirteen Days). Directed by Mark Pellington (Arlington Road).

THE GATHERING STORM
Rated TVPG for
Time:95
Genre:Drama, History
In his darkest hours as both a husband and a politician, Winston Churchill found the strength to wage a solitary battle against Nazi tyranny. Five-time Oscar(R) nominee Albert Finney (Erin Brockovich) and Oscar(R) winner Vanessa Redgrave (Julia) star as Winston and Clementine Churchill in this intimate story that chronicles the obstacles they faced in their marriage against the backdrop of the growing threat of a second World War. Beginning with Churchill as a washed-up sixty-year-old politician who had lost most of his fortune, the film details his resurgence to leadership in the 1930s--a period in which he fought a bitter battle against his own peers to deliver a much-needed message about the perils of allowing Germany to rearm itself after World War I. Also with Jim Broadbent (Moulin Rouge), Linus Roache (HBO's Shot Through the Heart), Lena Headey (Gossip), Tom Wilkinson (In the Bedroom) and Derek Jacobi (Gladiator). Widescreen.

While fears in the town continue to grow, Klein becomes personally involved--thanks to an unnerving series of phone calls from a person or thing--who knows everything about him...and everything that's to come. Laura Linney co-stars as the town's sheriff in this eerie, fact-based chiller that was adapted from John A. Keel's 1975 book.
