What a blast from the PAST!
When this movie came out, my son was about 7 or so. And I was eager to see it, because I read the book when I was about 12, myself (a librarian suggested it to me, seeing I was checking out nature books). Well, the novella, it was a short book, was written by a man from my state, Michigan, and based on his true story!(he was the hunter) So we go to a Matinee on a Saturday and the whole theater is kids, and not many adults. Behind us all unchaparoned kids. Some young. Well in the first 5 minutes the little bear is orphaned (mother dies) and my son turns to me-- and a wave murmur in the audience moves thru the theater, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MOMMY? IS SHE REALLY DEAD.... etc! From that point on, the kids were totally disruptive. I don't know if they expected some sugar coated funny movie or what? They were running up and down the aisles for the rest, and mostly it was a very difficult thing to sit thru. Most didn't understand it, since there is no dialog or voice over. My son was whispering to me thru the whole thing! So I went again later in time to a matinee in a mall this time, and there were only 2 of us then. I felt like it was a private screening! And I got to cry to my heart's content at the end without apologizing to anyone ! It is a beautiful movie tho. Very touching and well done! Thanks Alffe!

I love that movie. My husband had never seen it, so I bought the DVD several years ago. We still enjoy it a couple of times a year.

Here is another "oldie"...
Never Cry Wolf... from the 80's. This is an old Disney movie based on Farley Mowat's life with the wolves. Purists may criticize this but it was a beautiful movie to watch. There were some funny spots, contrived of course, like Disney, but all in all it was very good. It was on Turner Classics yesterday afternoon. So those here who like nature movies might like to get it from Netflix etc. .
