October Sky (1999)
Done before but delightful
I agree with others who suggest that this movie has been "done before". But it was a delight to watch...good, clean, inspirational. I will be showing it to my kids. The fact that it is based on a true story makes it even more worthwhile.
Siam Sunset (1999)
Make the most of what life throws at you...
I really enjoyed this movie, as did the two others who attended with me. The humour is quirky and often unexpected. The message of the movie is, in my view, make the best of what life throws at you -- and for the main character, life throws quite a bit!!
Dancing at Lughnasa (1998)
Excellent film raising issues about pleasure and Christianity
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. The acting of all the cast was superb. The film raises important questions for Christians, in particular, about the relationship between Christianity and pleasure. Meryl Streep plays a character who is moralistic and legalistic in her religious belief -- the moral conscience of her family. Her approach to life is contrasted with the abandonment of the "pagans" who surround her. A powerful critique of joyless religion of any sort.
