Inspired by late-another "small pleasures" film thread

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I meant to add these while that thread was in progress...
Inside Moves-a much smaller scale effort from Richard Donner (Superman, The Omen, Lethal Weapon) but I like this one a lot. John Savage plays a man recovering from a suicide attempt who begins frequenting an Oakland bar populated with characters who are all "crippled" either physically or emotionally. David Morse and Diana Scarwid are excellent in this as well.
Going in Style-George Burns, Art Carney and Lee Strasburg play fixed income retirees who decide to pull off a bank heist. Carney has never been better, IMO. I like the message about our unappreciated and neglected senior citizens, too.
October Sky-the wonderful true story of Homer Hickman, the son of a West Virginia coal miner who overcame countless obstacles to escape a career in the mines and became a rocket scientist for NASA. The scene in which young Homer descends into the mine while looking up at the night sky is one of the most poignant, unforgettable moments I've seen in a recent film. Directed by Joe Johnston, who also directed one of my favorite "popcorn" movies, The Rocketeer.
