I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1979)
My Father Played Tutti (Maya's Uncle) in this movie
This movie hits home with me, since my father, Sylvester Spann, Sr. played the part of Tutti, one of the three uncles that came to Maya's side after she was violated. I used to get a kick out of telling my teachers this when we had to read the book as an assignment. Show and tell wasn't so bad either. This movie is truly one of my favorites. The book is just as good. It's kind of like a family reunion, since the other two uncles that came to Maya's side were my uncles also (Dr. Lewis Liddell as Tommy and Sammy Liddell as Ira) 10/10..go figure
The Outsiders (1983)
Stevie's Stay Gold is a hit
This movie gets me crying every time. Even when I saw it for the first time as a kid, I had to walk out of the room (did'nt want my mom to see her son crying like a baby.) It always happens when "Stay Gold" starts playing. Go figure. Well, anyway the movie is a great one. After reading the other comments I am sort of eager to read the book.
The Elephant Man (1980)
Every emotion you feel in this movie, whether happy, sad, or angry, will be amplified 10 fold.
This picture contains the greatest and most moving line ever spoken in any movie, "I AM NOT AN ANIMAL. I AM A HUMAN BEING." To this day I am scared out of my wits to watch this movie. All this movie does for me is depress me. There are very few points in this movie that make you want to smile, and if you are smiling you are crying at the same time. I guess, being that Elephant Man is a true story, it would be an injustice to stray away from the facts. Nevertheless, it is a movie everyone should see, if they want a lesson in humility....... To think that people could be so cruel.
