I respectfully submit a film that had it all.
A kid ashamed because his father took work that was “beneath him” during the depression.
A local sports legend who returned from war and quietly disappeared into a life of drinking and gambling with negroes and low life white trash.
The beautiful heir to her daddies dream ex-girlfriend who refused to let daddies dream die.
And the mysterious man from nowhere who helped them put it all together.
The Legend of Bagger Vance.
Very likely Will Smith’s best acting job and unlikely to be equaled by him.
And I hate golf with a passion.
I also like Hoosiers, Miracle, Brian’s Song and The Longest Yard (the Burt Reynolds one).
