Shawshank Redemption....I rarely pass it up if I run across it on cable.
A bit of odd trivia, the guy that played the "tough screw", the main guard....the big blond one with the deep voice....he does the voice for Mr. Krabs on SpongeBob.
I know this thread is on movies that the whole family can watch, but the age can make a difference.
Osso has intrduced me to several foreign films==Italian, of course= like In The Garden of the Finzi Continis. I takes place as Jews are being forced to move, leaving all their possesions behind.
It is a bittersweet story, but true, of the last of the old andly aristocratic families. Beautiful and moving.
One that I found on my own is Tosca's Kiss. This one might be my all time favorite--about the old mansion Verdi turned into a home for retired musicians, opera singers, instrument players, anyone who had been a musician of any sort.
It might be slow for some, but if you have a musical soul that include classical music, it will move you immensely. Have the tissues handy.
Me too, osso. We needed the box of tissues positioned right between us.
Even with its bittersweet theme, it was also an impressively uplifting film. I can't recommend it highly enough.
