Witness, because I'll always have mad respect for the old timers who could peg together a barn that's sturdier and more aesthetically pleasing than anything being made today.

This question is a tough one! I'm thinking of a movie called A Home of Our Own.

I've only seen it once but when I think of it, I always remember one scene/line where the mom (Kathy Bates) wants to skip gift-giving and give the house a Christmas gift instead (a hammer, if I recall correctly). According to movie critic Roger Ebert, "This is not a great movie, but it has a big heart." Fair enough. It's no blockbuster, but it is heartwarming and imparts a great message. Also, Kathy Bates is strong, as always.

For me, the 1972 movie Deliverance. Especially the scene “Dueling Banjos “. Trying to get gas and directions from Very Rural people and place.
