I watched "The Mighty" recently about a friendship with two young teenagers. The mother of one of them, who had a fatal disease, was Sharon Stone.I have seen it many times and bought a CD of the music, most done by "Sting."
Parts of it are very sad but it always ends in an uplifting way.
Other than that I have watched fairly recently three movies I own ,but if they come on TV I usually watch them again, on TV: Patton, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and The Manchurian Candidate.
My favorite actors are Anthony Hopkins ( won Academy award for "The Father"- a very unusual movie) and he also played former President Nixon in "Nixon", starred in "The Silence of the Lambs", and portrayed "The Elephant Man".many more
and Denzel Washington. "Glory", Manchurian Candidate", "Devil in a blue Dress", many more .Both are exquisite actors.
"Glory" is a true story, one of the best historic Movies I have ever seen.
