One of my all time favorites...

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2001)

Yeah, many people tease me about loving this movie so much, but what are movies for if not to make you feel good?
I remember when it came out, I hadn't seen the trailer, or heard anything about it, even though I was a projectionist at a movie theatre for some time. In fact, I had started the movie dozens of times (but projectionist rarely watch every movie they project). One day, while doing regular rounds and checking picture and audio, I caught the scene when they find out that Cole is deaf... I watched it for 2 minutes, and was already tearing up.
After that, I watched almost the entire movie twice each day for the next couple of days. I still watch it on video and it just makes me feel so good and thankful that there are teachers out there who give so much of their lives for all of us during our growing years.
