Driving Miss Daisy
This is a wonderful movie. It let us know how things were in this country some years ago and in some instances still today. It is a touching film. Young people should watch this movie because they don't have a clue as to things that have happened in the past that they can grow from today. Morgan Freeman, played a great part. His character was a mirror of what so many black men has gone through. I've bought this movie several times brfore for myself. However, somehow I've either, given it away or loan it out. This time it will stay in my movie library. No giveaway, no loan out! Seriously, everyone, and I do mean everyone, young, old, black and white should buy this movie. This is an old movie, but, it tells a real story.

Driving Miss Daisy
Such a special film! Especially since for my husband (18 years) and me, it was our first date! Bought it so I could see it whenever I feel the need to remember that special occasion!

Wonderful DVD
This is a wonderful movie. Mr. Morgan Freeman is wonderful in nearly every movie I've ever seen him in. He's a great actor. Ms Jessica Tandy is the same. Together Mr. Freeman and Ms Tandy are superb in Driving Miss Daisy. I love the charming southern accents and the lovely backgrounds. The house used in this movie is beautiful. I enjoyed this movie and am wearing it out from watching it so much. I will certainly replace it if I ever need to. It's that great!!! And worth every penny I paid for it. I will treasure it.

Not to be missed
Jessica Tandy - Morgan Freeman . . . this pair of consummate actors under skilled direction turn a pretty good script into one of those movies you won't forget - and which you will return to with gusto from time to time. Tandy received the Oscar (she was then 81 years old), and Freeman was nominated as Best Actor but denied the statuette he deserved, which was surprisingly awarded to Daniel Day Lewis for a now-obscure film "My Left Foot." "Driving" was nominated for eight Oscars, and was winner for Best Film, Actress, Adapted screenplay, and makeup. There are no chase scenes, supernatural twists or mind-boggling special effects - just first-rate writing, scripting, directing, acting, editing and mixing. The director, Bruce Beresford, is almost invisible as he guides the tale, and many were shocked that he was not nominated for Best Director by the Oscar committee. "Driving" Ranks with "To Kill a Mockingbird" for salient content and historical import, but this is no courtroom drama - it's the story of a doctor's wealthy widow, Jewish of faith and riddled with racial bigotry, and hhow she gradually and reluctantly evolves. She is an allegory for the South - indeed, for the USA, and Tandy pulls it off with a finesse that leaves the viewer in awe. Morgan Freeman reveals more of his skills in this move than in any other he's since done - and he's done some first-rate work, in my opinion. Don't bother to rent first - this is a "keeper" worth buying now and keeping awway from the family dog that thinks all flat discs are frisbees.
