Diner / Liberty Heights

Double Feature contains two great movies "Diner" and "Liberty Heights", directed by Barry Levinson! "Diner" - The film that launched successful careers for Kev...in Bacon, Ellen Barkin, Paul Reiser, Mickey Rourke and more! It's a lively, poignant tale of friends trying to recapture their lost innocence in 1959 Baltimore. "Liberty Heights" - Acclaimed filmmaker Barry Levinson ("Rain Man," "Homicide: Life On The Street") returns to his hometown of Baltimore, the setting of his "Diner," "Avalon," "Tin Men" and "Homicide." The result is "Liberty Heights," a warmly funny, semi-autobiographical tale told with an uncompromising eye for period detail and an eye-filling scale that includes 4,000 extras. The year is 1954, a season of dramatic social flux that Levinson explores through the eyes of a Jewish family, the Kurtzmans (Adrien Brody, Ben Foster, Joe Mantegna, Bebe Neuwirth). Friendship, romance, rock-n-roll, courage, racism, Cadillacs, Halloween (Should a nice Jewish boy dress up as Hitler?): the times are indeed changing. The Kurtzmans' and America will never be the same.Detailed info »« Brief info
