Jessica Lange, Dennis Quaid and Timothy Hutton headline this moving slice of Americana that sizzles with sexy romance, sparkles with humor and thunders with the pad-to-pad crunch of hard-nosed football. Quaid plays a college gridiron star who struggles when events no longer fit within the playing field. Lange is his sweetheart, willingly led to life's sidelines as a player's wife, but eventually becoming a woman of strength. And Hutton is the friend who sees what living in a goldfish bowl does to supposedly charmed lives. Director Taylor Hackford (An Officer and a Gentleman, Proof of Life) guides his stellar talents through a spellbinding 30-year saga of our lives without fumbling a single detail.

Jessica Lange, Joan Allen and Kathy Bates hit the road in Bonneville, a story about three friends who 'come of age' for a second time on a trip across the great American West. Faced with the decision of a lifetime, Arvilla Holden (Lange) loads up her 1966 Bonneville convertible and, with her friends (Allen, Bates) in tow, sets out from Pocatello, Idaho en route to Santa Barbara. As they detour to spots like Bryce Canyon and Las Vegas, it doesn't take long for the women to realize Arvilla has something unexpected in store. But what none of them realize is that what began as a simple trip will end up becoming a chance to rediscover themselves, their friendship, the importance of promises - and of letting go. Also starring Tom Skerritt and Christine Baranski, Bonneville unites three of the most acclaimed actresses of our time in a story that celebrates fun, adventure and living life to the fullest.

Find out what Halle learned from Jessica Lange.

Jessica Lange plays an attorney whose affable Hungarian-immigrant father Armin Mueller-Stahl is arrested. He is threatened with deportation for lying about his activities during World War II; part of the charge is that Mueller-Stahl was a Nazi collaborationist, guilty of wartime atrocities. Absolutely convinced that her father is being railroaded by a revenge-seeking Hungarian communist government, Lange handles Mueller-Stahl's defense, expertly blowing huge holes in prosecuting attorney Frederic Forrest's case. But in doing her own research, Lange discovers that her father has spent a lifetime paying off a blackmailer. Why? In contrast to the fervency of his earlier Z, Costa-Gavras refuses to make things easy by proselytizing in The Music Box (nor does screenwriter Joe Esterhas indulge in his usual right-between-the-eyes fervency). Everything in the film is offered on the same calm, collected level, making the ultimate horror of the story all the more effective. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.

Writer/director Sam Shepard's jaundiced view of Lake Woebegone territory is essentially a vehicle for his lady fair Jessica Lange. Far North is set in rural Minnesota, at the home of a dour, curmudgeonly farm family. Only Kate (Lange) has been able to escape this repressive environment, but she comes home when dad Bertram (Charles Durning) is laid up in the hospital. Despite her city-bred sophistication, Kate almost instantly reverts to childhood, trying desperately to prove herself to her misogynistic papa. To do this, she vows to kill the poor old horse that caused her father's injury. Considering its bleak surroundings and vituperative characters, Far North contains very funny dialogue; in terms of the film's cinematic value, however, Shepard's idea of directing seems to be to yell Action! and hope for the best. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.
