The Straight Story (1999)


An aging man decides to ride his lawnmower hundreds of miles on a personal quest. This is such a beautiful and delicately crafted story that just the sight of a wheat combine will trigger the weepy-weepums. A true story. Richard Farnsworth is stellar.

"Weepy-weepums"??? Your cromulation of English is impressive.
