“Leonard, Part 6.” RCA/Columbia. $89.95. 1987. PG. This misguided secret-agent spoof showed that even Bill Cosby can make a mistake. A big one. But his huge TV audience may be more likely to rent the video than it was to visit theaters.

“Housekeeping.” RCA/Columbia. $79.95. 1987. PG. The first film to be thoroughly made and set in the United States by Bill Forsyth, a Scottish genius of wry comedy (“Local Hero”) who aimed for a darker tone in this tale of an eccentric woman who cares for two nieces.
