Burt Sugarman

A woman is attacked by a would-be rapist, and manages to escape--but the man has taken her wallet, and she lives in mortal fear that he will seek her out. Her nightmare comes true when a strange man knocks on her door one day while she is alone. But the sadistic attacker doesn't count on her being ready for him, as she turns the tables and takes control of the situation. Starring Farrah Fawcett and James Russo.

One of the most critically-acclaimed films of the 80s, Children of a Lesser God garnered four Academy Award nominations and a Best Actress Oscar for Marlee Matlin. Based on the hit Broadway play, it's the uplifting love story of John Leeds (William Hurt), an idealistic special education teacher, and a headstrong deaf girl named Sarah (Marlee Matlin). At first, Leeds sees Sarah as a teaching challenge. But soon their teacher/student relationship blossoms into a love so passionate it shatters the barrier of silence that keeps them apart.

Quirky sisters Lenny (Diane Keaton), Meg (Jessica Lange) and Babe (Sissy Spacek) come together at the family's Southern home for a birthday celebration. With each woman facing her share of troubling personal issues, they have plenty to talk about, including the memory of their mother and her tragic suicide. Also quick to impart her thoughts is their spiteful cousin Chick (Tess Harper), who pops in to offer her two cents.
