Winona Ryder Star Collection: Mermaids / Autumn In New York / Great Balls Of Fire / 1969 (Full Frame, Widescreen)

The "Winona Ryder Star Collection" includes "Mermaids", "Autumn In New York", "Great Balls Of Fire" and "1969". "Mermaids": Charlotte (Ryder) is an adolescent girl torn between her blossoming passions for a handsome caretaker... and her desire to be a nun (a tough calling for a girl who's Jewish). Complicating her already precarious teen angst is a little sister (Christina Ricci), a determined would-be swimmer she affectionately calls fishhead, and their mother (Cher), a non-traditional, sexy, flamboyant woman who relocates them to a new town every time she causes a hint of scandal - which is often. But even as their personal styles clash, these three incredibly different individuals begin to see that nothing - not even a life-threatening tragedy - can tear apart the bonds of family. "Autumn In New York": At 48 years old, Manhattan restaurateur Will Keane (Gere) is handsome, successful, single and determined to keep it that way.

But, for Charlotte, a lifetime may be much shorter than either of them is prepared to accept. "Great Balls Of Fire": They called it "the devil's music." To this, Jerry Lee Lewis whooped: "If I'm going to hell, I'm going there playing the piano!" In 1956, Louisiana bad boy Jerry Lee Lewis (Dennis Quaid) moves to Memphis, determined to dethrone Elvis with his "ferocious, God-given talent." When Jerry Lee bangs out the bass chords with his feet, fans howl for more. When he finishes a performance by setting his piano ablaze, they mob the stage. But when he marries his 13-year-old second cousin Myra (Ryder)...
