  It was the genuine feel good movie of the year.

  I'm wondering if Toby Maguire is the New Age Jimmy Stewart? He's come on strong in all his movies.

    Not that Seabiscuit was a bad movie, but it had a little too much 21st century revisionism for my tastes; it just didn't ring true most of the time. BTW, I don't have a problem with "feel-good" movies, but I don't like manipulation that eliminates the gray areas, especially in films based upon historical facts.

    I found him especially good in "The Cider House Rules"

      Chis Cooper. He is probably the best character actor in Hollywood today. Just compare this performance with his work in Adaptation and American Beauty. You's be hard pressed to say they were all the same actor, so completely does he disapear into each role.

        Check out "Lone Star" to see him carry a two-hour story without once doing an "Al Pacino" scenery-chew.
