Driving Miss Daisy (1989)

DAN AYKROYD IN OSCAR NOMINATION SHOCKER! Yes, you read right. Aykroyd could've won the statuette for his role as Jessica Tandy's son in this gentle drama. Morgan Freeman also got a nomination for his portrayal of an elderly chauffer who drives Tandy through her twilight years. Tandy, by the way, won the Oscar.

Bunn - Oh, this looks brilliant. Yeah, fantastic. I despise films about old women.Maybe I'll watch this one when i'm 60 and cry into my hankie, but at the moment, it's not on my list of ones to watch. I suppose guilt might splash over me and I'll watch it for Dan, but THAT'S ALL!!!!

Dave - I have seen it, mainly to watch Dan though. And guess what, he's actually not bad at all. Who'd have thought he could act? Anyway, full cred to him for trying something serious. Too bad that that Miss Daisy is largely incontinent and you know Morgan Freeman just keeps hoping that he's gonna find her head in the backseat.
