VIDEO RENTALS : Renters Can’t Get Enough of ‘Talking’

Look out for “Look Who’s Talking,” the romantic comedy starring John Travolta and Kirstie Alley. After just two weeks, it’s already No. 2 on the Billboard magazine rental chart. Next week it should bump “Dead Poets Society” out of the top spot. “Shirley Valentine,” boasting the performance that earned Pauline Collins an Oscar nomination, is doing respectable rental business, moving up four notches to No. 23. “Black Rain,” the violent cop movie starring Michael Douglas, debuted at No. 12. “Communion,” with Christopher Walken, is also doing fairly well, climbing from No. 26 to No. 20.

* “Sea of Love,” the steamy thriller featuring Al Pacino and Ellen Barkin, looms as the most popular rental-market thriller for the first half of the year and should easily crack the Top Three. A box-office winner, it grossed $57 million.
