For Labor Day viewing I recommend this movie adaptation of the Pulitzer prize-winning play, Glengarry Glen Ross. One critic says: “Clearly some of the best work that the likes of Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Alec Baldwin, and even the great Jack Lemmon, have ever done.”
The movie adaptation of the award-winning Broadway show, "1776." Delightful songs, engaging acting, inspiring story. As one top critic says, “Every American should watch this once a year.”
A grandfather reluctantly tells his grandson about his service in WWII. The grandson later becomes a soldier himself, serving in the Middle East, and reflects back on his grandfather’s words and experiences. This movie is a balanced and respectful treatment of military service appropriate for Memorial Day viewing.
Easter is about life and death, faith and doubt, hope and despair. For Easter and Holy Week viewing, I suggest this thought-provoking movie superbly performed by two truly great actors, Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones.
For Valentine’s Day viewing, I suggest this romantic drama based on the real-life love story between C.S. Lewis and Joy Gresham.
A Christmas movie that captures the best sentiments surrounding the holiday. Based on the unofficial Christmas truce that took place on the Western Front during WWI.
