The Grand Seduction: Residents of a small fishing community in Newfoundland charm a doctor into becoming the town's full-time physician in order to secure a vital factory contract.

Christmas in the Clouds: During the holidays at a ski resort in Utah run by a Native American tribe, the overworked manager and a widowed woman from the big city overcome mistaken identities and intrusive guests in their pursuit of romance. Beautiful movie with great characters, some neat little side plots and Graham Greene stealing every scene he is in.

American Dreamer: Frustrated housewife/writer Cathy Palmer ghostwrites a story about Rebecca Ryan, a dashing international spy, and wins a trip to Paris. While there, she is involved in an accident, and awakens in the hospital believing she IS Rebecca Ryan. Much craziness ensues as she meets the writer of the Rebecca Ryan books, thwarts real international spies, and eventually gets her memory back. It is very funny and sweet. JoBeth Williams and Tom Conti star.
We loved this movie and actually sat through it twice (back in 1984 you could do that in Evansville Indiana) I can't find it anywhere to stream or buy.
