   Great Balls of Fire! (1989) - TCM said this was the first time they'd   
   ever shown this on their network, wonder how they never got to it until   
   now. I saw it in the theater back in '89 when I probably didn't know who   
   the hell Winona Ryder was. I've probably seen it a time or two on cable   
   since then but it must have been on AMC or TBS or something. Alec   
   Baldwin must have jumped at the chance to sink his liberal chops into   
   the Rev. Jimmy Swaggart role. Director Jim McBride also directed some   
   episodes of the great The Wonder Years TV series in the '90s.   
      
   Mystery Train (1989) - I've also seen this once or twice in the past, an   
   endearing three-part movie that has some kind of connection to Elvis,   
   and a run down Memphis hotel. I own Jim Jarmusch's Broken Flowers and   
   Dead Man on DVD and this one holds up to both of them (Dead Man is just   
   kind of weird IMO).
