True Grit (2010)
Multiple shootouts including the climatic showdown with Ned Pepper’s gang. Flawless delivery of dialogue by the young Hailee Steinfeld.

In 1972, TV history gave us truly one of the most adorable moments ever broadcasted
#Bales2026FilmChallenge -undeserved Oscar
#OctoberMovieChallenge -fictional band
Ray (2004)
I failed to think of an exact match so I went to with a real band. I liked Ray and Fox’s performance. But Cheadle should have won for Hotel Rwanda that year (imo).

When I was boarding a flight this morning I noticed at the gate that someone had a service dog and I said a little prayer that he would be my seat mate. Sure enough, he is. I feel lucky. ❤️ 🐶

Daniel Day Lewis can transform into someone else about as good as anyone ever has. He is truly the best actor of his generation.

Lion King (1994)
Elton John stayed relevant for decades by evolving. 70s classic rock, pop/blues of the 80s and showtunes in the 90s. Always excellent including in this film.

I love that Utah became a vote by mail state early before vote by mail conspiracy was trendy. Every resident gets a ballot sent a month before the election. Postage is pre-paid to send it back. And we get a text letting us know when it was received and counted.
#Bales2026FilmChallenge -based on a fav novel
#OctoberMovieChallenge -a mine
October Sky (1999)
Jake’s most endearing performance. Based on the awesome novel-like true story Rocket Boys. Fun trivia: October Sky is an anagram of Rocket Boys.
