STARMAN, 1984, Sony Repertory, 115 min. Dir. John Carpenter.

THE FISHER KING, 1991, Sony Repertory, 137 min. Dir. Terry Gilliam. Jeff Bridges pulls out all the stops as a shattered shock jock trying to escape self-pity and remorse, and Robin Williams is the sanity-challenged homeless vagabond who helps him in director Terry Gilliam’s modern fable of love and redemption.
