Director Ron Underwood follows up his crowd-pleasing hit City Slickers (1991) with this likable, feel-good comedy drama about a selfish businessman who discovers that he's permanently being followed by a group of ghosts. In 1959, a bus accident links the spirits of four fatally injured passengers to a newborn baby whose birth is caused by the crash. For 25 years, Milo (Tom Sizemore), Harrison (Charles Grodin), Penny (Alfre Woodard) and Julia (Kyra Sedgwick) remain bound to Thomas Reilly (Robert Downey Jr.), who believes the quartet to be imaginary childhood friends that have long since disappeared. When the four spooks suddenly realize that they are meant to use Thomas as a conduit to bring closure to their unfinished corporeal lives, they reemerge, causing Thomas to think that he's gone insane. As he becomes reattached to his supernatural companions, however, Thomas' innate decency asserts itself and he begins helping them to right the wrongs in their lives, allowing them to possess his body to achieve their goal of settling accounts and moving on into the afterlife. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Down in the dumps over her marital woes, Christine (Markie Post) is quite receptive to the charms of her newest defendant Ian McKee (Bill Calvert), a street artist who's been arrested for defacing public property. Meanwhile, Dan (John Larroquette) is smitten by a fast-food waitress named Pam (Terri Hendrickson)--who turns out not to be quite as old as she acts. And Mac (Charlie Robinson) finds a new form of personal expression by way of a camera. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Police Chief Rawlings (Chuck Conners) defends the town of Kokomo, Indiana from an invasion of Libyan terrorists in this grade "B" action feature. The villains attack a nuclear power plant and hold a high-school class hostage. Rawlings' negotiations are comically taken from Dog Day Afternoon as he tries to diffuse the volatile situation, and he trains the high-school students in guerilla warfare to battle the invaders. A thrilling car chase is one of the highlights of the film. Conners, the former pro baseball player-turned-actor, once again dons his Brooklyn Dodger jacket for this picture. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Tony Bill directed this sentimental weepie starring Dudley Moore as California politician Patrick Dalton. When Nicole (Katherine Healy), the daughter of the well-to-do Charlotte Dreyfus (Mary Tyler Moore) asks to work for his campaign, Patrick initially turns her down. But when he discovers that she is dying from leukemia, Patrick is determined to make her final days happy ones. Along the way, Patrick and Charlotte have an affair and they take Nicole on a dream trip to New York City. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

This two-part story was apparently inspired by an incident in the life of President Jimmy Carter, who while swimming one day was "attacked" by a hostile rabbit. In this instance, the "killer rabbit" is a man in a bunny suit, who commits a murder in a high-rise apartment. Unfortunately, Louise Jefferson (Isabel Sanford) witnesses the killing while preparing to attend a costume party with husband George (Sherman Hemsley) and the Willises (Franklin Cover, Roxie Roker). Part one of "Now You See, It Now You Don't" originally aired on October 21, 1979. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
