You must not have seen or have forgotten about "The Straight Story", a Disney film directed by Lynch. It is a wonderful chronicle of an old man, Alvin Straight, who is estranged from his brother who lives several hundred miles away. Straight sets our to see him and reconcile, riding a power lawnmower the whole way. Sissy Spaceck
plays his "slow" daughter. This is a PG rated film suitable for the whole family and is Richard Farnsworth's last film role.In typically quirky Lynch fashion, he forbade chapter stops on the DVD release.
