Jeff Daniels, John Lithgow, Danny DeVito, Shirley MacLaine, Jack Nicholson, Debra Winger - Dir:James L. Brooks From grand slapstick to deepest sentiment, director James L. Brooks masterfully paints scenes of the evolving 30-year relationship of a mother and daughter, unforgettably played by Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Winner of five Academy Awards. This Oscar-winning film is both eccentrically funny and an old-fashioned tearjerker. The story centers around the volatile relationship between a mother and daughter spanning 30 years. The various permutations of their lives are examined, including the daughter's bout with terminal cancer. TERMS OF ENDEARMENT is a deeply observed drama about the intimate relationship between a mother and daughter, based on the novel by Larry McMurtry. Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger are at their absolute best, with terrific support from Jack Nicholson, Jeff Daniels, and John Lithgow. Academy Award Nominations: 11, including Best Actress--Debra Winger and Best Supporting Actor--John Lithgow. Academy Awards: 5, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress--Shirley MacLaine, Best (Adapted) Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor--Jack Nicholson. TERMS OF ENDEARMENT was James Brooks first big-screen directorial effort.
The 1996 film THE EVENING STAR is the sequel to TERMS OF ENDEARMENT. Terms Of Endearment Reviews: "...A funny, touching, beautifully acted film....Enormously appealing, thanks to the bright, witty, larger-than-life performances that James Brooks has elicited from his stars..."
-- Janet Maslin, New York Times "...Enormously enjoyable....Brooks' dialog is wonderful throughout and all the characters carry off their assignments beautifully..."
-- Har., Variety "MacLaine's Oscar-winning rendering of a controlling shrew is somehow endearing despite and because of her flaws."

Director Hugh Hudson's absorbing drama, based on a true story, deals with the personal struggles faced by two very different long-distance runners competing for Britain in the 1924 Paris Olympic Games.

Eric, a hometown Scottish hero to the people, gives rousing sermons after victory and works at a local missionary. Harold runs with a zealous commitment, upsetting Cambridge's educational upper crust (played with ...

Since Miss Daisy is becoming a menace behind the wheel, her son, Boolie (Dan Aykroyd), ignores her protests and hires Hoke, a black chauffeur.
