The Straight Story

I bought this film on DVD and it is seriously the nicest
film I have ever watched.

There is nothing nasty about it, just a really ncie story
but manages to stay away from sentimentality.

Oh and it was directed by David Lynch so the whole feel of
the film is special too :D

Anyone else seen it?

I said average not bad :D

Besides this film should not be watched if you are an action
junky. It is just a nice film with a nice story...cool to
chill to with a few beers and a spliff

yeah, its fucking great.
i love how Lynch can conjure up the terror even in a film as
mild mannered as this one.

awesome film. based on a true story. nice to see lynch do a
film with no villian or malice in it. a nice sweet story.
personally, i feel alot of emotions when i watch this movie.
there are some good messages in here, too; as far as how
people treat one another, and the whole brotherhood thing.

I'm thinking of buying the dvd of the tv-version of Dune,
which has 30 minutes restored.. I read about some fun scenes
Lynch had to cut out..

I like everything Lynch has done, including Dune, including
Six Figures getting sick, and EVERYTHING!! Straight story
rules, but Mulholland Drive is the best. it's my favorite
move.. EVER!! The TV version of dune is apparently so bad
that Lynch had his named removed from the credits.

i didn't like Dune either. though i only saw the version
with the obnoxious voice-over. i heard there is a longer,
better version but i have not seen it. i like all other
lynch films.. especially Blue Velvet and Fire Walk WIth Me

It's a beautiful movie. Wish it got more attention than it
seemed to.
