Rain Man
- Who's watched: M & G
- Mentions: *1*
- Commentary: Well, I wrote such a dissertation on the movie at the site of the one "mention" that I think I pretty much said it all.
Update 5/29/2022: Admittedly, I do not watch this movie as often as Mom and I watched it when she was alive. I think it's partly because she and I watched it so often that I can quote dialog from it and partly because we discussed it so thoroughly and I thought about it so much because I was caregiving for someone whose mental acquity wasn't "normal", that it's as though I have this movie running on it's own channel in my head. Thus, actually watching it IRL seems redundant, somehow.
