- 'Born on the Fourth of July' - Ok.
- 'Dead Poet's Society' - A great movie. Still has an impact on me almost 20 years later. Robin Williams is excellent.
- 'Driving Miss Daisy' - A good movie, but not great. (Sorry, Mom.)
- 'Field of Dreams' - A very good movie, though not as good as 'Bull Durham'. And yes I cry when he plays catch with his father. The movie gives me chills and you have to respect that.
- 'My Left Foot' - Amazing acting, both from Daniel Day-Lewis and from his younger counterpart, Hugh O'Conor. Impressive movie.
'Driving' won the Best Picture but I'd have given it to 'Dead Poet's'.

I've not seen My Left Foot, so I can't comment, although who can't love Daniel Day Lewis...mmmm, yummy. He's super-intense. Isn't that what all women want? Hans is JUST LIKE Daniel Day Lewis. I'm digressing...my vote would be for Field of Dreams. It gives me chills, too and I just love how the farmers all think he's crazy and how the wife stands up at the PTA meeting and goes after the book ban-ners. It's one of those movies I could watch again and again and never get tired of. Which is good, because it's on TBS every third week.
I probably would pick DEAD POETS' too or maybe MY LEFT FOOT. I liked them all but DAMN DPS made me CRY!! We took our Japanese foreign exchange student to see that movie (remember Emi?) about a week after she got to MN and her English was rocky AT BEST! I think she was a little more than confused and Laurie & I sitting there just bawling.....ah good times, good times....
