THE NEON BIBLE, writer-director Terence Davies first literary adaptation, is based on John Kennedy Toole's coming of age story set in the 1930s and 1940s Bible belt. Similar to Davies's autobiographical TRILOGY, the film is a series of remembrances by 15-year old David (Jacob Tierney), who reflects back on his troubled childhood while riding a train to an unknown future. As a small boy, David (Drake Bell) was a friendless outcast who watched his angry father, Frank (Denis Leary) vent the frustration of their poverty by beating his wife, Sarah (Diana Scarwid). David gets a playmate when glamorous Aunt Mae (Gena Rowlands) comes to live with them. Mae regales David with stories of her days on the stage, and provides some security in the midst of his parents' troubles. Despite Mae's influence, however, David is forced to grow up too soon, and finds himself in a shocking predicament. With his fluid, languorous camera movements, Davies guides the viewer through David's familial life and the life of the South at a particular moment, with its revival meetings and book burnings. Davies's cinemascope reverie is another compelling examination of his personal themes of youth, memory, and religion. Theatrical release: 1996

Rated BBFC 15 by the British Board of Film Classification. Neon Bible Reviews: "...The film is stunningly crafted..."
-- David Stratton, Variety "...The images are beautiful to look at; Davies still knows everything about composition and moving a camera..."-- Phillip Lopate, Film Comment "...Hallucinatory....[The] storytelling is wound around a montage of images and songs that have a mystical personal resonance..."
-- Stephen Holden, New York Times "...THE NEON BIBLE is elegiac, formal and sometimes boldly stylized. The result is an extraordinary experience in which the familiar is made deeply and effectively unsettling..."-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times Neon Bible | Studio | Wellspring | | Orig Year | 1996 | | DVD Encoding | Region 1 | | All Time Sales Rank |  64804  | | CD Universe Part number | 1228674 | | Catalog number | 5068 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Jan 12, 2008 | | Rating | Not Rated | | Running Time | 92 Minutes | | Additional Info | Wellspring | | Movie Details | Color; Wellspring |

$7.99  
One of John Ford's most cherished projects, THE QUIET MAN took years to finance but became one of his greatest box-office successes and an enduringly beloved classic. John Wayne stars as Sean Thornton, a retired American boxing champion trying to put tragedy behind him by returning to Innisfree, the bucolic Irish village of his birth. He purchases his birthplace from its current owner, enraging the wealthy and bellicose Red Will Danaher (Victor McLaglen), who had designs on the property. On arriving at his cottage, Thornton finds it being swept out by Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara), a redheaded vision from whom he steals a not completely unwelcome kiss. After engaging in a subterfuge involving a horse race, some of the locals manage to get the disgruntled Red Will to allow his sister to be courted by the American. But the courtship ritual of the village is only the first of many local practices that the bewildered Thornton must endure if he is to have Mary Kate. Wayne gives a surprisingly nuanced performance as the fish out of water, and he is perfectly matched with the ...
