I watched "Tender Mercies," (1983)...

...again this weekend; it's one of my favorite movies. It stars Robert Duvall, Tess Harper, a young Wilford Brimley ("If you have di-a-bee-duss..."), and an even younger Ellen Barkin in the story of a recovered alcoholic country singer. It was written by Horton Foote and directed by Bruce Beresford, who also made "Breaker Morant," (1980) another great flick.
