I watched it last night...reminded me of what a great movie it truly is. If you've never seen it - might be worth checking out. It was a "surprise" hit the year it came out. No special effects....just great acting, great dialogue, and a great plot. We lost Louis Gossett, Jr. at age 86 last year. He won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, first ever African American to do so. His acting was fantastic in it.
