Direct TV is trying to get me to go for the premium channels again by offering me Showtime free for three months. Mostly it seemed to consist of horror flicks, but two night ago I managed to catch THE GREAT DEBATERS. This is a fantastic movie about the debate team from a tiny black college in Texas that goes on to defeat the Harvard debate team in 1936.
The script is wonderful. Every performance is a jewel, and it is especially moving to watch this in the age of Obama.
Add this to your Netflix list.
