► Classic Movie Night starts 2009's programs with "Narrow Margin." This 1990 action-packed remake of the 1952 classic stars Ann Archer as the witness of a mob hit and Gene Hackman as the Los Angeles district attorney who tries to get her to testify. The mob, trying to stop them, follows them on a Canadian Rockies passenger train. It's 99 minutes of edge-of-your-seat action with most of it on the rails -- and it's in color!
