Driving Miss Daisy (Special Edition) description
Winner of the Academy Award for best picture of 1989, this gracefully moving drama, adapted from the hit play by Alfred Uhry, chronicles the 25-year friendship between a stubborn, aging Southern widow (Jessica Tandy) and her loyal chauffeur (Morgan Freeman). At first, the self-sufficient Miss Daisy is reluctant to accept the services of a chauffeur, but Hoke is quiet, wise, and tolerant, and as the years pass the unlikely friends develop a deep mutual respect and admiration. Tandy deservedly won the Oscar for her sassy and sensitive performance, and Freeman earned an Oscar nomination for bringing quiet depth and integrity to his memorable role. Ironically, director Bruce Beresford (Tender Mercies) was not nominated, but the film won Oscars for makeup and for Uhry's screenplay, in addition to a supporting actor nomination for Dan Aykroyd as Daisy's supportive son. Delicate, funny, and bittersweet, Driving Miss Daisy was a surprise hit when released, and marked the crowning achievement of Tandy's great career. --Jeff Shannon

♥♥♥♥♥ Loved It! Sorry it took me 19 years to watch!
Yes, you heard right...this movie came out in 1989, when I was graduating high school...I heard about it and wanted to see it many times over the years but the library never had it and I was always too busy for movies. I finally recorded it on HBO (on my wonderful DVD recorder), printed out a nice cover for it, and watched it for the first time in March of 2008 because I was shut in during a snowstorm.

I love watching period movies and anyone caring to get a look at how life was in the south in the 1950's, or how one can have money but be lonely (money doesn't buy everything), should watch this movie. People knock Miss Daisy for being stubborn, etc., but imagine being an educated woman back then and having found yourself retired, widowed, and alone, but with all of your spunk and faculties. Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy both did a wonderful job.
