"Tuesdays with Morrie" (1999) NR

Based on Mitch Albom's nonfiction best-seller, this film begins as Morrie (Jack Lemmon) collapses and is subsequently diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease. Then, it's a quick cut to Mitch's (Hank Azaria) hectic life as a sports columnist cum television host and his long-term relationship. When Mitch learns his beloved professor is dying, he reconnects with his mentor and learns from him all over again -- this time, about life.

This is a most touching and wonderfully tender story. Morrie is a sweet lovable character who ends up making a huge impact on Mitch's life and changes it greatly. I have watched this film twice now and will not tire of it.
