I just watched a wonderful mobile:  The Magic of Belle Isle, starring Morgan Freeman.  It's about a burnt out writer of western novels who unexpectedly finds his life and purpose renewed by the friendship he develops with a special family.  Beautifully acted by all and lovingly filmed, it casts its own special spell.  Heartwarming and genuine!  Free on Amazon Prime!  Enjoy!

I have never heard of it, but it's been my experience that anything with Morgan Freeman in it is worth watching.  One of our greatest actors.....

I haven't heard of this movie either, but I am another HUGE fan of Morgan Freeman.  He is just beyond brilliant.

 

Yesterday I watched two movies that were, separately, recommended here - 

 

One was 'Keeping Up With The Steins'.  It was a really cute movie and was recommended by a Garry Marshall fan here.   I really enjoyed it a lot.

 

The other was 'Juno' with Ellen Page.   Something about her is just so likable.  Also in the movie were JK Simmons and Alison Janney, BOTH of whom I just love to the nth degree.  

 

It was a lovely piece and I am very glad I finally saw it.

 

Both of these have been airing on Premium channels, but I cannot remember which, as I have already deleted them from my 'deleted' folder.  Easily searched, though.  Smiley Happy

The Wizard of Oz. 

@Noreen  I think there's some hyperbole in your post.  Morgan Freeman has not been in most movies, but only a tiny percentage of them.

I guess that is the last time I will try to make a joke here.

Thanks for the recommendation, I saw this on the list. I was wondering if it was to G rated to be interesting. He is a very good actor. So I'll try to catch that along the line. Thanks.

Smiley LOL Smiley LOL Smiley LOL I got it.  I was thinking the same thing.  If he's not in the movie his VOICE is. 

 

 

FWIW, Morgan is starring in the remake of Ben Hur:  Ben-Hur Official Trailer
