If you are looking for a very well made and entertaining movie, rent or go see THE FASTEST INDIAN. Not about airplanes, but the star is an eccentric old guy who loves to tinker with machinery and does it on a budget. He's played by Anthony Hopkins, and you can tell how good an actor he is cause in this movie he's a likable bloke and opposite the Silence of the Lambs fiend who went around eating people. It's based on a true story, and it'll make you laugh and feel.

Concur on that, I went and bought the DVD so every six months or so when things are slow I get myself a good sized liquid refreshment and watch it.

There is a good write-up on the net if you do a search, fascinating individual.

All above are correct. It's a wonderful film and very inspiring.
I've turned many people on to it.

I just noticed the title is wrong, it's actually called The World's Fastest Indian.

What was suprising to me, especially after watching it the first time, was that it was only a limited release.

...I've got the DVD!
