Reviews, ruminations, ramblings, and reminisces about the movies. New for 2020 - The Year in Movies. Every few days I will post about a year in movie history and then post my favorite movie from that year.

111. Driving Miss Daisy (1989)
-Did I ever tell you about the first time I ever been outside the state of Georgia?
-No, when was that?
-Oh, a few minutes ago.
What better way to tell the story of the civil rights movement in American than through the eyes of an elderly Jewish widow and her witty black chaeffur? I admit, this movie is a little shortsighted and naive (what about Hoke's family life, does he live at the whims of Miss Daisy?), but it is a pretty beautiful story about how love and true friendship can show up in some very strange and unexpected places.
