The Day Lincoln Was Shot (1998)
Excellent
An excellent portrayal of the circumstances surrounding the assassination of US President Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theater in 1865. Rob Morrow provides an excellent portrayal of John Wilkes Booth and also provides us with an interesting insight as to the depth of patriotism, ill-feeling and desire for revenge that existed on the Confederate side during the Civil War. Lance Henriksen also provides an excellent portrayal of President Abraham Lincoln and his last days in the White House before the shooting and gives us an insight into his courage, his strong convictions and his determination to promote forgiveness over revenge. A strong supporting cast gives this movie additional credibility and it had me entranced from start to finish. A powerful and moving historical drama that I would highly recommend. My only criticism would be that it tends to place too much emphasis on some events and not enough on others
My rating: 10 out of 10.
Dead Poets Society (1989)
An Excellent, Emotional Movie
"The Dead Poets Society" is truly a wonderful, in-depth and very moving masterpiece that provides an excellent script, excellent acting and an excellent storyline. Robin Williams is truly magnificent in his portrayal of English teacher John Keating, a charismatic individual who encourages his students in a strict and traditional prestigious school to break out of their conformist mode, aspire to new heights and to "Carpe Diem" -seize the moment. The rest of the cast -including a very young Ethan Hawke-also contribute excellent and believable performances to this movie and this guarantees that it has a very powerful impact on the viewer. I was very close to tears at the conclusion of this movie -and it takes a lot for movies to have that impact on me. An emotional and heart-wrenching film that will touch and inspire you
Courage Under Fire (1996)
An Excellent, Touching and Poignant Film
"Courage Under Fire" is definitely an excellent, moving and tragic film and it certainly ranks as one of the most outstanding war movies that I have viewed. Denzel Washington provides an excellent portrayal of a military official haunted by his past and determined to discover the truth no matter what the obstacles are. Meg Ryan is excellent (as per usual) in her portrayal of Captain Karen Emma Walden. This film also benefits from a strong supporting cast and a touching storyline. I was near tears at the end. I would award "Courage Under Fire" a rating of 10 out of 10
