Shenendoah

I have no idea how this got on our Netflix list but I doubt it was my wife who put it there. A seriously great flick! The trailer makes it seem like the movie is all about the civil war but it isn't. It is a movie about family, about community and has Jimmy Stewart for good measure!

Not necessarily a "Summer Movie" per-se but an excellent flick.



BTW - there is one scene where JS is on the front porch with his future son-in-law, giving him marital advice. Man, I wish I would have watched that scene 17 years ago!

And scene where JS chides his son for not respecting his elders - so funny I had to rewind and watch time and again. Great stuff.

Oh I just love this movie! I was trying to think of the name of it a few days ago. Thanks!
