Director : Jay Russell
Running Time : 91 mins
While planning to run away from home, Winnie Foster (Bledel) meets the Tuck family and falls for youngest son Jesse (Jackson). Her parents assume she’s been kidnapped, but the truth is that Winnie enjoys spending time with the Tucks. When she discovers that they are in fact a family of immortals, Jesse tempts her to stay with him forever by drinking from the fountain of youth they discovered in the woods.
So this must be where Stephenie Meyer got the idea for Twilight. Unlike that disaster in which a girl ends her life for love, this takes the sensible approach of having Winnie question immortality. Throw in Ben Kingsley as the villain trying to track down the immortals and discover their secret, and you have a likeable movie with a logical ending. And thankfully the writers decided to make Winnie older, so as to avoid the creepy paedophile feel of the novel.
