I stumbled across this upcoming film release, "The Great Escaper" starring Michael Caine.
It's based on the true story of a 90 year-old D-Day veteran who escapes from his care facility in the UK so he can participate in the anniversary celebrations of the D-Day landings. I'm sure the film takes liberties with the actual story but the trailer (see linky below) shows more humour, emotion, and storyline than most full-length films these days (and I realize how old I sound as I write that!):

I don't normally go out to the cinema/movie theater these days but I plan to make an exception for this one. It's my small, insignificant, attempt to encourage the movie industry to strive to make better movies.
Hope other forum-ites will take a look at the film. Not sure how widely it'll be released outside the UK but Michael Caine has international appeal so, hopefully, it'll be shown across the US too.
