VIDEO TREASURES

The next time you’re feeling down, try renting one of these great inspirational movies.

OCTOBER SKY (1999) Drama

Review: “Heartwarming drama based on the true story of Homer Hickam, Jr., who grew up in a West Virginia mining town. When he sees Sputnik soaring across the nighttime sky in 1957, he enlists his friends to share the dream of building his own rocket. An old-fashioned sense of can-do American spirit makes this movie something special.” (Leonard Maltin’s Film and Video Guide)

KOYAANISQATSI (1983) Documentary

Review: “Using aerial, slow-motion, and fast-motion photography, the camera glides across the American landscape, revealing an astonishing panorama of natural and manmade wonders. Set to a hypnotic score by Philip Glass, with no dialogue, this mesmerizing and gloriously beautiful film is a stunning sight and sound experience.” (Great Movies You’ve Probably Missed, by Ardis Sillick and Michael McCormick)

BILLY ELLIOT (2000) Comedy/Drama

Review: “Living in working-class England, Billy is allowed to take boxing as a sport but his eyes are on the dance class next door. The dance instructor notices his interest and invites him to dance. He does—quite badly—but over time he improves. This film does well in showing a young man’s enthusiasm for dance and how he’s able to win acceptance through perseverance.” (Scarecrow Video Movie Guide)

BABE (1995) Family

Review: “An orphaned piglet is adopted by a sheepdog and decides that he wants to grow up and follow in his mother’s pawprints. Delightful, witty, clever and almost irresistible children’s tale with a wide appeal. A pleasure all the way.” (Halliwell’s Film and Video Guide)

SULLIVAN’S TRAVELS (1941) Comedy

Review: “Pure genius produced this social comedy, a witty and knowing spoof of Hollywood. A film director decides to find out what life outside the Tinseltown fantasyland is really like. A genuine Hollywood classic.” (Video Movie Guide)

MR. HOLLAND’S OPUS (1995) Drama

Review: “Well-done tearjerker begins in 1965 as musician Glenn Holland takes a music teaching job to support his wife and their deaf son. Spanning three decades, Holland sets aside his dream of composing a great symphony and finds his true calling—mentoring and inspiring young minds.” (Videohound’s Golden Movie Retriever)

HOOSIERS (1986) Drama

Review: “A tiny Indiana high school sends a team all the way to the state basketball finals. Hoosiers is a “comeback” movie, but what makes it special is not its story—it works a magic in getting us to really care about the fate of the team and the people depending on it. It’s all heart.” (Roger Ebert)
