Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

h_nelsona2 One of the most overlooked and underrated films in recent memory, "Inside Moves" ranks among the best date flicks ever made. Too bad it's so hard to find. I myself missing this film so much that I bought a very worn, very old VHS tape of it so I could get my fix on demand. This film has everything. For guys: buddies, basketball, dirty jokes, and a pretty blond lady. For gals: romance, tear-jerking scenes (watch out fellas, you may find your eyes welling up and a lump in your throat, too), and a Sinatra song to boot. Standout performances in this wonderful ensemble piece by David Morse, Bert Remson, Harold Russell,and Bill Henderson. Diana Scarwid received an Academy Award nomination, but John Savage's performance tops them all. How he was passed over for an Oscar nomination is evidence that the Academy is often asleep at the switch. Find this film and snuggle up with your sweetie -- you'll be smiling through the tears when the end credits roll.

terryjones2 I don't remember a lot from this movie, but I do remember that a main character played for the Golden State Warriors, part of it was filmed at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum arena, and that some of the Warriors on the team at that time appeared in the movie. It also looked like it was filmed in the Oakland/Berkeley area (I wonder if the bar in the movie is in that area today It was cool to see a movie that had a real team back then, rather than the Pittsburgh Pipers, NY Knights, North Dallas Bulls, etc. It is also cool that it was not not a popular team like the Bulls, Lakers, Cowboys, Yankees and whatnot. I hope I can catch it on cable some time for I doubt that is available on DVD.

rondine This has always remained one of my favorite movies. It's hard to believe it's 25 years old. Nevertheless, the story and what it offers is timeless.The story starts, depressingly, around a young man, Roary (John Savage) who jumps from a 10 story building in a failed suicide attempt. After months in the hospital, he is left disabled.In his new place he discovers Max's bar where the regular "cast" of characters includes Jerry (David Morse) a young man who aspires to be a basketball player, but has something wrong with his leg/knee. Anne (Amy Wright) his prostitute girlfriend with a habit. Also there are Blue Lewis (Bill Henderson) who is in a wheelchair, Stinky (Bert Remsen) who is blind and Wings (Oscar winner for "The Best Years of Our Lives" Harrold Russell) who lost both hands in the war. And Louise (Oscar Nominee Diana Scarwid) a waitress at the bar who falls in love with Roary.The movie is about Jerry's dream to play basketball, but it's about so much more than that. It's about the emotional, aka: Inside Moves that people make. In this story, Roary makes the move from suicidal to survivor and more. Jerry makes the move from parasite to friend. And the supporting cast enables them to have a place to come where they feel like it's okay to be "disabled." But as the movie title implies, the focus of this movie isn't the external or physical disabilities, it's the inside disabilities that are the focus of this movie. Which is another reason for its universal appeal, because we are all of us broken internally in one way or another.This movie has gotten so many great comments because the dialog, the performances and the script and music are all so wonderfully done. A must see for anyone that likes a movie with a story, with a heart. John Savage is totally believable in every way. An example is the scene with him and Diana Scarwid where her character admits that she loves him, that she wants to be his lover, but is afraid. Afraid of what it would be like with a cripple. Afraid that if it did't work, that she couldn't forgive herself, because she did not want to hurt him that way. The movie is full of sincere & honest moments such as that one. It truly is a gem.Hopefully, it will come out someday on DVD!!!!!

WLFBoulder This is a movie about the kind of people most of us spend our lives trying to avoid: drunks, whores and cripples of every description. The setting is seamy, mostly taking place in an old neighborhood bar; no ferns here, no clever reparte between beautiful people. The is a story of loneliness and not a little darkness, leavened with gentle, often self-effacing humor.The miracle here is the degree to which you wind up truly caring about what happens to these folks. The action in the movie is simple. The people are not, and it is a remarkable feat of storytelling to bring this ensemble to such rich, moving life.This is truly a sleeper, Steinbeckian in its evocation of the common humanity in us all.
