Wow, what a rollercoaster of emotions!! It was tender, heartwarming, and heartbreaking all at the same time. Mel Gibson and Elijah Wood were amazing in their roles and Jamie Lee Curtis was fantastic as always! The story kept us guessing the whole way through. Even though it was bittersweet that Mel and his love didn't get their life together, the ending still felt satisfying in its own way :))

Hello Cassie. There is another film with young Elijah Wood, Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith. It's called "Paradise" from 1991. It's unknown to many. I can highly recommend him to you. A very good performance from all the actors. I hope you check it out sometime. Have fun. And by the way, a great reaction...

This was the reaction I wanted from this movie. It’s been on my wish list for years, so it’s great to finally tick it off. This is a great easy movie, I don’t watch it often but when I do just makes you feel good!

Great reaction! This was a wonderful move. I saw it when it originally came out since I was a Mel Gibson fan, but only one time. It was fun to revisit. A couple more movies that you'll love that have similar vibes to this, although for entirely different reasons. First, Richard Dreyfus (who I am confident you'll see and absolutely adore in Mr. Hollands Opus, soon I hope), John Goodman, Holly Hunter and the late great Audrey Hepburn (her last role) - "Always". It's a somewhat dark romantic comedy about a pilot, no darker than Forever Young though. No spoilers from me, either. Second is "Frequency" with Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel. It's an excellent and very heartwarming somewhat off beat light sci-fi/fantasy adjacent movie, sort of how "Forever Young" might also be considered sci/fi, that also plays on some similar themes. Right up your alley.

Always (1989) is a remake of A Guy Named Joe (1943), starring Spencer Tracy, Irene Dunne and Van Johnson, and co-starring Ward Bond, James Gleason, Esther Williams and Lionel Barrymore. This was the film that the parents were watching in Poltergeist (1982), while getting High.

That was good. Conspiracy Theory (1997) is another excellent Mel Gibson film you would like.
