Can anyone watch that movie's ending without getting a lump in their throat and a tear in their eye? I know I cannot! That is all!

I watched that movie by accident several years back by accident - channel surfing, and I saw Robert Duvall and figured it was probably worth watching.
It was. Aside from the performances by Duvall and Caine (two actors that, frankly, I'd never have pictured together who did turned in absolutely stellar performances) it was something else to see a depiction of Texas and an era that was gone before my time but which I remember seeing in bits and pieces that still linger out in parts of the Hill Country. Recognizing a couple of the shooting locales was something else - I used to visit the Perry mansion all the time as a kid.
To have men like that for mentors. We should all be so fortunate.
Overall, one of those movies you keep around and watch a couple of times a year just because.

I have a strange connection to this movie. I watched it and flipped over the DVD to watch the director’s information… As I am watching the information about the house, the current owners were interviewed and low and behold it was one of my roommates in college that I had played football with. I had not seen him since being in his wedding after college, so I tracked him down, went and visited.

I took my daughter to see it when it first came out in the theatres. She was 6 years old at the time. When it was over, she turned to me in the still darkened theatre and said, "Daddy, that was the greatest movie I've ever seen!"
We have it on DVD and she's shown it to her friends during sleepovers. The other girls want to watch the typical girly girl movies and they protest when my daughter slides in Secondhand Lions.
Then they're all silent and staring at the screen for the whole movie and cheering and laughing and crying at the end.
Awesome movie that is easily overlooked....

Second Hand Lions; I hadn't thought of that movie for years. A fantastic movie, and I am afraid under-appreciated. Now I have to buy the DVD.

I think robert duvall is one of the greatest actors of all time. Another old movie that stands out to me was with robert mitchum made in 1960, home from the hill.

Another four star movie. Two major film actors, and funny lines from both. Just two guys who lived life and are now chilling on the front porch in their later years.
