DougR,

I have not seen "The Straight Story", although I very much admire Richard Farnsworth. When was it made, and by whom? I'll try to see if I can find it.

I agree with you that there are some very fine movies that are rated "G", but there are also some wonderful "R" rated movies that don't have a lot of violence, sex, and car crashes. I highly recommend "The Milagro Beanfield War", if you haven't already seen it. I'm not quite sure why they rated it "R", for some reason, they did.
