Movies...not too many these days that we like or care to even try out. Isn't that sad? I used to LOVE to go to the movies, be it a theatre or drive-in, I loved it! There are just too few out there that I like or care to spend money on.
When we were at Mom's, we watched a few really good movies! I loved them. One was "The Straight Story". Have you see that? It is a great story about an older man who needs to get to his brother to repair their relationship. The brother had a stroke and the two had not spoken for years. So, a trip was made, on a rider lawnmower, from Iowa to Wisconsin. It is a good story.
We watched "The Winslow Boy", which is about a boy that is accused of wrongdoing. He didn't do it and his family gave up everything to clear his name. No one thought they would win, because they were going after the government, but they did! The father wanted his son's name to be clear of any blemish, especially when the lad was innocent.
"The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn" was a wonderful, maybe my favorite film! You should check that one out for sure! It is a story of a man so simple and honest that he is unaware of the outside world and its corruption. Until they try to force him from his land. We should all be more like Noah Dearborn!!
Last night, Bryan and I watched "To Kill a Mocking Bird", which is always a great story.
I love movies that make me stop and think about life and how simple it should be. I love movies that make me smile and/or cry. Our focus should be on loving and caring for others, not on unwholesome behavior, like so many films today depict! Good movies are so hard to find.
Any recommendations for us?
