17. where did "The Straight Story" come from?

I mean, it's a phenomenal movie. But, it's nothing like his other works.

Richard Farnsworth is an incredible actor (and stunt man). Check him out on imdb and see how many classics he's been in, starting from 1937.

apparently, that wasn't the first time he was nominated for an Oscar, either

Misery
The Natural
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Papillon
Spartacus
The Ten Commandments
High Plains Drifter
Support Your Local Gunfighter (a favorite comedy of mine)
The Caine Mutiny
and even...
Gone With the Wind

a Hollywood god
