one of the best movies in a long, long time


Movies this good should not be forgotten. They have the potential to remind viewers about the things that really matter. As Hub states, it's not about power of money, but about honor, courage, belief, and trust.

So much of what comes out of Hollywood does not match the quality of this film. 10/10 for sure.

kansas, I don't think you've seen very many movies. While I enjoyed this movie, there is no way it can be a 10/10. It's a nice, feel-good movie, with actors we all like, but even in its category, there are better movies.

like what please enlighten us on these movies which are better than this in this category.

As far as feel-good and coming-of-age movies go, at least the following are better:
*The Shawshank Redemption
*Amelie
*This Is England
*About A Boy
*The 400 Blows
*Rebel Without a Cause
*Dazed & Confused
*Fast Times at Ridgemont High

I also gave it a 10 rating. Secondhand Lions is a lesser known gem which I will continue to enjoy for many years to come.

Agreed. I never get tired of this movie. It's just a nice, pleasant movie. A hidden gem. So much better than all the shallow junk we're subjected to all the time.
