Here's something you don't see every day: A romantic comedy about chemotherapy. Kate Nelligan stars as Kathryn McClain, a judge undergoing treatment for cancer. In the midst of this crisis, Kathryn somehow finds time to hold down her job full time, and to renew her love for her long-estranged former husband Tom Ainsworth (Ron Silver). The question eventually boils down to this: Even if Kathryn survives, will her relationship with Tom be as fortunate? Best line: "Don't be so dramatic! You aren't dead yet! Produced for the Lifetime cable channel, Love Is Strange first aired on February 8, 1999. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Filmed on location in Oregon, the made-for-cable Halloweentown stars Debbie Reynolds as Aggie Cromwell, the peppery grandma to typical American kids Marnie (Joey Zimmerman), Dylan (Joey Zimmerman) and Sophie (Emily Roeske). During her annual visit to the youngsters' mother Gwen (Judith Hoag), Aggie reveals that she is a benevolent witch, and that Gwen and the kids all have latent magical powers. Whisking the three little ones off to Halloweentown, Aggie subsequently does battle with evil forces conjured up by Gwen's old flame Kalabar (Robin Thomas), a warlock with delusions of grandeur and a nasty habit of transforming children into zombies. Telecast by the Disney Channel on October 22, 1998, Halloweentown was followed three years later by a sequel, also starring Debbie Reynolds, Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
