RAIN MAN (Theatrical Release USA 1988)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.9|5.0 Starsìììì

Rain Man—a complete winner for the acting team of Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise—easily becomes one of the best film choices for the 1980s. This ‘class act’ movie deserves its place in the home video collection and has re-watchable status. A Bravo! Bravo! film that has love written all over it becomes a ‘must see’ film. Best work for Director Barry Levinson.
