one of my all-time favorite films. great cast, great story and so many great lines:
haven't you ever heard of a leash?!? * what if at a key moment in the game, my uniform bursts open and oops... my bosoms come flying out? * there's no crying in baseball! I could quote it all day long. love it! ♥

great romantic drama, that follows the lives of two childhood friends, their love of basketball and ultimately, each other.

good stuff. ♥

drama starring Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman. directed by Clint Eastwood.

the story of female boxer Maggie Fitzgerald (Swank) and her journey to becoming a champion.

Maggie Fitzgerald is one of my very favorite film characters. she is resilient and determined, but at the same time, has a vulnerability that makes you love her that much more. the actress that brings Maggie to life, has the ability to allow you forget that you are watching a movie and instead, you feel like you have a secret glimpse into someone's life. that actress is Hilary Swank.

it is through the eyes of Eddie "Scrap Iron" Dupris, in which the story is told. Morgan Freeman delivers yet another great performance, as an ex-boxer, that runs the local gym where Maggie trains, owned by trainer, Frankie Dunn.

portraying Dunn, is five-time Academy Award® winning film icon, Clint Eastwood, who pulled quadruple duty, including director, co-producer and even scoring the film. as hardened trainer Frankie Dunn, Eastwood reminds us why he has received so much acclaim over the years... he is pure genius. there is no other way to explain it, other than he is just freakin' awesome.

Million Dollar Baby is more than just a good boxing film. it is humorous, tragic, poignant and inspiring. above all, it is a fine example of the human spirit.

beautiful film. love it! ♥

long before she was an Academy Award® winning actress, Hilary Swank starred in this fourth installment of the Karate Kid franchise. and although the original will always be my favorite, this one is pretty good.
