Avalon (1990) is a feature film directed by Barry Levinson. It is a semi-autobiographical story of a family of Russian-Jewish immigrants who have settled in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, at the beginning of the 20th century. It is the third in Levinson's series of four "Baltimore Films" — Diner (1982), Tin Men (1987), Avalon (1990), and Liberty Heights (1999) — all set in his hometown during the 1940s, '50s and '60s. Avalon explores the themes of Jewish assimilation and how modernity has changed American family life.
Avalon follows the Krichinsky family as they grow, become more prosperous, and eventually acquire a large home appliance store.
Levinson likes to place links between his films that are set in Baltimore. A Hudson automobile purchased in Avalon is later purchased and used in Diner. The house that the Krichinsky family leaves to move to the suburbs is later used as a residence in Tin Men.
Avalon received Academy Award nominations for Best Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen, Best Music, Original Score, Best Cinematography, and Best Costume Design. Levinson's script won the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Plot: A portrait of the moment in which a previously grand, luxurious lifestyle is revealed to be woefully unstable. Following the parallel experiences of several tenants of a luxury hotel, we witness the ways in which different personalities react when faced with the realization that something very fundamental to their lifestyle is utterly wrong. A man finds himself inexplicably unable to leave his room due to an overwhelming dread that something dire has been neglected. An obliviously decadent movie star spirals into stardom and terrible consequence. A devoted Concierge embarks on a mission to dispatch his beloved hotel with dignity. And the faded ghost of a woman, all too aware of the trajectory of her opulent home, slowly and quietly relinquishes control.

Genres: Comedy, Horror,I grew up in Sunday school
I memorized the golden rule
And how Jesus came to set the sinner free
I know the story inside out
I can tell you all about
The path that led Him up to Calvary
But ask me why, He loves me
And I don't know what to say
But I'll never be the same
Because he changed my life when He became
Everything to me, He's more than a story
More than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breath the water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything, everything to me
We're living in uncertain times
And more and more I find that I'm aware
Of just how fragile life can be
I want to tell the world I found
A love that turned my life around
They need to know that they can taste and see
Now everyday I'm praying
Just to give my heart away
I want live for Jesus
So that someone else might see that He is
Everything to me, He's more than a story
More than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breath, the water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything and looking back over my life at the end
I'll go to meet you saying you've been
You're everything to me, You're more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You're everything to me, You're more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You're the air that I breath the water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
You're everything to me
