Hey, I cried. I laughed at Titanic, but this hit me. Of course, that's because
I can much, much more readily see myself in ramanujan's place than in the
first class promenade deck of the queen of the WHite Star Line... hey,
wait a minute, I can too!

Oh, yeah, it's the part about seducing the implausibly beautiful woman that
didn't do anything for me. But the geek, man, the geek I love. He's the
fantasy geek -- a NON geek. What we all wish we could be: strapping,
hard-drinking, hard-living cowboys (&cowgirls). Instead, we're just seens
as cows.

Good Will Hunting: VERY recommended. Up there with "Shall We Dance?"

Yeah, like you I had quite the visceral response to this one.
It hit home hard.
