Clearly in my top ten list for all time great movies. Winner of 3 Oscars! Watch it by yourself, watch it with your family…either way you will be well rewarded. Unless you speak Italian you will want to be sure and rent the English version.

A story of a young boy’s misfortune as he is falsely accused of stealing a pair of valuable shoes, sent to a desert correctional facility and through a funny twisted course of events, finds redemption. There he meets the psycho Warden Walker (Sigourney Weaver) and her bizarre sidekick/enforcer ”Mr. Sir” (John Voight). The twists and turns of the story teach lessons of life from the view of a teenager with an unexpected surprise ending. Great movie for young adults on up. Rated PG (violence, mild language and thematic intensity)
