A young boy and his Norwegian grandmother vacation at an English seaside resort, only to discover that witches have gathered there with a plot to turn all the children in England into mice. Though often encased in prosthetics, Anjelica Huston is clearly having a wonderful time playing the Grand High Witch; Rowan Atkinson also offers a delightful turn as the resort manager. This big-screen adaptation of the Roald Dahl children's novel was the final film Muppet magician Jim Henson worked on before his death.

In THE ENGLISH PATIENT helmer Anthony Minghella’s directorial debut, Julie Stevenson receives a back-from-the dead visit from her late, cello-playing husband, Alan Rickman. A charming romantic comedy. “…A fine job in capturing … textures of London life … a strong performance out of Stevenson … a beguiling film in more ways than one.” – Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader.
