One of my favorite movies of all times is The Straight Story (1999), directed by David Lynch and starring Richard Farnsworth and Sissy Spacek. It is an unusual film, very reflective and slow-paced with little action and lots of breath-taking shots of the Iowa cornfields in the fall with hauntingly beautiful music.
It is the true story of Alvin Straight, a man who drives a 30-year-old riding mower 240 miles for 6 weeks in order to reconcile his relationship with his brother.
