Liam Neeson stars as Jean Valjean, a heartless convict who is transformed by a single act of mercy in LES MISERABLES. Uma Thurman, Claire Danes, and Oscar-winner Geoffrey Rush co-star in this excellent interpretation of a classic. In the Edith Wharton adaptation THE HOUSE OF MIRTH, Gillian Anderson is Lily Bart, a strikingly beautiful and socially prominent 1905 woman who nonetheless remains unmarried at the late age of 29. Lily is conflicted between her desire to marry a wealthy man and her love for another, who's handsome and elegant but decidedly poor. Making matters worse is her backstabbing best friend (Laura Linney). See individual titles for complete synopsis information. [More]
