The listing, Michael starring John Travolta (DVD, 1996) has ended.

Vartan Malt (Bob Hoskins) is the editor of a tabloid called the National Mirror that specializes in unlikely stories about celebrities and frankly unbelievable tales about ordinary folks. When Malt gets word that a woman is supposedly harboring an angel in a small town in Iowa, he sends out 3 people to get the story –reporter, Frank Quinlan (William Hurt), photographer,Huey Driscoll (Robert Pastorelli), and dog trainer claiming to be an "angel expert", Dorothy Winters (Andie MacDowell) to get the story. They arrive at the boarding house of Pansy Milbank (Jean Stapleton), who informs them that she does indeed have an angel for a tenant & introduces them to Michael (John Travolta). Michael has wings like an angel, but the resemblance ends there. Michael loves cigarettes, sugar, has an uncontrollable belly laugh, tends to use a large number of non-angelic phrases, does not care much for personal hygiene, and smells like cookies. After Pansy unexpectedly dies, Frank & Huey stumble upon a great story idea-- if Michael wants to have some fun, why not take him to Chicago, where he can really kick up his heels? The rest of the film deals with the experiences that Frank, Huey, Dorothy, & Michael have while driving to Chicago. To bring Huey's dog bag to life after being hit by a truck, he uses up his allotment of miracles and begins to weaken. The group reaches Chicago just in time for Michael to see the Sears Tower before disappearing. After Frank and Dorothy go their separate ways, Michael returns one more time with Pansy in tow to wrap up the various stories angel style.
