My mate has been picking the NetFlix DVDs lately and I have to confess that what we are watching is a step up as far as redeeming social value is concerned.

The latest is an incredibly beautiful film co-written by and starring Wm H Macy in one his best roles ever. Just when you think this actor has topped out, he does something mo different, mo better.

Door to Door is the true story of Bill Porter a lifetime professional door to door salesman. The difference is Bill has cerebral palsy, looks like Shrek should have looked. His mom (Helen Mirrer) gets him started with a sandwich one side of which says "patience" written in catsup. The other side says "persistence". As the movie progresses through the decades from mid fifties to mid nineties, you see the changes effected in the lives of his clients by Bill's patience and persistence and love (it should have been a three sided sandwich).

If you are looking for something real and inspiring to watch around your microwave popcorn, this is it, the most rewarding film I have seen since My First Mister, which, btw, my mate also selected from the NetFlix library. I hope NetFlix is going to give me a free DVD or something for saying "nice" things so I should probably say, yes they also have sloppy, tasteless flicks in their library as well.
