Airplane movies

I was on an airplane this week and caught the last 5 minutes of "About Schmidt," which I had seen awhile ago.

You really don't have to see the rest of this movie. The first few minutes and the last few minutes are priceless. Everything in-between seems to set up the last scene after Schmidt reviews his life and has to honestly ask himself the question, has he made a difference in anybody else's life?

Good question to ask!

Similar to poignant ending of "Saving Private Ryan."

Also on the plane - a fell-good romantic comedy "The Wedding Date," which I hadn't heard of before. Totally unbelievable story, but I still like these kind of happy ending romances. In spite of, or maybe because of, some immorality, there is a good character lesson or two.
