You're Hidden Gems

Do you have a movie that was just SO much better then you thought it would be? I have many, here's one of them.

Title The Straight Story (1999)

Staring Sissy Spacek & Richard Farnsworth

Story line

A 73-year-old man from in Laurens, Iowa, who learns that his brother is dying and wants to see him one last time. His eyes are too bad to allow him to drive. He lives with his daughter Rose (Sissy Spacek), who is somewhat retarded and no good behind the wheel. Nor do they have a car. But they have a tractor-style lawn mower, and the moment Alvin's eyes light on it, he knows how he can drive the 300 miles to Mt. Zion, Wis. The first mower konks out, but he gets another one, a John Deere, hitches a little trailer to it, and stubbornly sets off down the road.

I think the complete movie is available on you tube.
