We mods are in this subreddit daily and know the users feel like the same movies are talked about way too often. The most popular movies on Reddit are certainly some great ones, but every Friday we're going to recommend what we think are good movies and aren't discussed much in this subreddit. These recommendations aren't all pretentious film school meditations on human verisimilitude, we swear they're watchable :)December 18, 2020 is Secondhand Lions - 2003.Trailer/Watch link.The basic premise: 14-year-old Walter is left by his irresponsible mother, Mae, to live for the summer with his reclusive, bachelor great-uncles, Hub and Garth.It's a very enduring story about growing up in unexpected places with unexpected people and how much they can impact your lives.I first saw Secondhand Lions in the theater when it came out on September 19th, 2003 and it's stuck with me ever since. Haley Joel Osment is perfectly cast as Walter because he's on the cusp of maturity and you can hear his voice cracking as he delivers lines. His voice is also noticeably deeper at the end of the film.Robert Duvall gives a wonderful speech in the middle of the film about believing in things and then there's also Duvall's "loved only one woman" one-liner that will leave you smiling.Where you can watch it online.Trivia: Berkeley Breathed the artist of Bloom County drew the cartoons seen on the adult Walter's desk.Please use spoiler tags in the discussion below, as this is a recommendation thread for people who haven't seen the movie yet. If you have a suggestion for a future recommendation, please message the mods with it!The MovieModsRecommend Archive. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2KiOAZg
