Ray, man.

5/300
Rain man
Dir. Barry Levinson

I know.  I can't believe I can even call myself a cinefile without having seen this, especially after having seen it. Whoa.  All I can say is that a whole lot of other movies make a lot more sense now. 

So, even if Tom is a little crazy now, it's hard to lose any respect for this guy after this movie.  This character made you just want to punch him, BUT I can't say I was surprised that he'd eventually come around.  

Now, having heard the advice from tropic thunder, "never go full retard", you know Ray totally isn't, which makes him and his potential for not just fart humor(which he can still bring to the table and make work), but even counting cards and picking up women becomes more and more entertaining along this road trip.  I mean, Rainman almost bankrupt a casino and he's a retard.

I'd argue this is the best road trip movie I've seen so far.  A very feel good movie that should make everyone's must see list!

Uh oh, fart.
