Quotes:
Helen Foley: Anthony, where are we?
Anthony: Nowhere.
Helen Foley: And the others?
Anthony: I sent them where they wanted to go. Away from me. It's not fair! You're supposed to be happy when your wishes come true!
Helen Foley: Anthony, take us back. Can you take us back?
Anthony: So you can leave too?
Helen Foley: And go where, Anthony? I've seen what you can do. I know you have a power... a gift that makes you special. You better be careful. For one day it may become too big for you to control. Now maybe. Just maybe. Together we can master it and learn from it. Use it in ways you never thought of before. I'd like to be your teacher, Anthony. And your student.
Anthony: You'd stay with me?
Helen Foley: Yes.
Anthony: Always?

TWILIGHT ZONE - THE MOVIE (1983) **1/2 Vic Morrow, Scatman Crothers, Kathleen Quinlan, John Lithgow, Dan Aykroyd, Albert Brooks. Uneven big-screen transition of Rod Serling's classic tv series showcasing anthologies with a twist of the supernatural: Morrow (who was tragically killed during the filming and causing quite a stir of controversy) plays a bigot who gets his: Crothers is an old coot with magic in a game of "Kick the Can" at an old folks home; Quinlan is a schoolteacher who comes across the path of a young boy with eerie powers; and Lithgow (in the best of the set) is the personification of an airplane phobic who sees a creature on the wing of his plane doing damage in a "Nightmare at 20,000 Ft." The opening bit with cross-country traveling Aykroyd and Brooks is devilishly fun. (Dirs: John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, George Miller)
