Don't Mess With My Sister!(1985)

"Lust destroyed his life. Passion led him to murder. Greed left him a beaten man. Fear pushed him to the edge of insanity. All because he wouldn't listen when they said: Don't mess with my sister!"
  
Steven(Joe Perce), a meek accountant-in-training, is living contentedly with his wife Clara(Jeannine LeMay) and working for her brothers, managing the books at their junkyard. All of this changes when the belly dancer they hire for Steve's birthday turns out to be Annika(Laura Lanfranchi) one of his classmates. Suddenly smitten, Steven begins to pursue Annika, who falls for him when he protects her from a overly-lecherous customer. News travels fast in a close-knit neighborhood, however, and soon Clara and her brothers find out about the illicit relationship. Pushed to the edge, Steven will have to decide between his marriage with Clara and his love for Annika.

Dutch(1991)

"Can a big kid bring out the child in a little jerk?"

Volunteering to drive his girl friend's son home for Thanksgiving to Chicago from his boarding school in Georgia, little does Dutch expect the picaresque adventures in store for him. When a blunt, down-to-earth construction worker takes to the road with an insufferable twelve-year-old snob (desperately insecure under the surface) who doesn't approve of him in the least, quite a bit must happen before they can reach their destination as friends-- or, for that matter, get home at all. 

Starring Ed O'Neill, Ethan Embry, JoBeth Williams, Christopher McDonald, Ari Meyers, Elizabeth Daily, L. Scott Caldwell, and Kathleen Freeman.

Directed by Peter Faiman.

Our Winning Season(1978)

"It's your story."

This inspiring coming-of-age drama stars Scott Jacoby as David Wakefield, a high school athlete frustrated by failure. He can't seem to crack his second-place streak in track meets -- or muster up the courage to talk to his dream girl. But as the Vietnam War rages on, a personal tragedy may give David the push he needs to finally go for the gold -- and the girl. Dennis Quaid co-stars in one of his first film roles.

Starring  Scott Jacoby, Deborah Benson, Dennis Quaid, Randy Hermann, Joe Penny, Jan Smithers, Robert Wahler, Wendy Rastattar, P.J. Soles, Damon Douglas, and Joanna Cassidy.

Directed by Joseph Rueben.


(Note: This is a DVD rip by me. I hope it turned out ok. The picture quality is a bit lacking at points..but it's a really old flick as well, so that might just be the print.)
