She also told me that David Lynch is one of the best, most kindest people she has ever met.

Imagine Curb your Enthusiasm - the celebration of hilariously awful behavior in an urban setting. Or any reality show that thrives on forced dramatic arcs and people badmouthing one another and fears losing its audience over silent moments. The Straight Story is the polar opposite. 100 minutes of people just being decent to each other. Wholesome, as they say.

The Straight Story is Lynch's masterpiece! I found it incredibly engaging, the cast is wonderful, the cinematography is beautiful and the score is amazing. The film is incredibly profound in the simplest way which is what makes it so great, there's no grandstanding, no upbeat monologue just a brother trying to see his brother before it's to late. Wonderful film!!

*_So Straight Road is basically "Old Town Road" in a cinematic form with David Lynch style. I never heard of this Disney film but it worth to watch._*

Yes! Thank you Doug, I was wondering recently if you would ever get around to reviewing this one since it is a Disney property. Even getting past the bizarre backstory of dark director of surreality David Lynch making a G rated film for Disney, "The Straight Story" is still a phenomenal heartwarming flick that I think just about anybody can enjoy. Very happy that this finally made the cut for Disneycember.

I really love how you ending this year's Disneycember on this film Doug. It really shows that not every great movie has to be superheroes or Star Wars or some big "epic" that I feel has been done to death. Sometimes just a basic story of life's journey is enough.

David Lynch made a G rated film... That's like Paul Thomas Anderson doing a PG film...for Pixar.

I had a very similar experience with Mulholland Drive; I spent most of the movie in a state of frustrated confusion, questioning why I was even watching it. But then in the last act, everything made sense. Every little puzzle piece fell into a perfect picture. It went from bonkers to brilliant, and I've never seen another movie do that.

The Straight Story is a magnificent movie! Pleasantly surprised to see that this is what you end Disneycember on, and I love it!

My brother an I saw this at the last possible age at the post possible time, 1999 in the theater. He was 13 I was 11 and we were board to tears. Our parents on the other hand loved it. Now that I'm older I rented the straight story and now I can appreciate it. It helped that I watched it more as a character study than a movie.

Since you've opened yourself up to the shorts, maybe consider covering the Silly Symphonies next year?

It’s sad that this wonderful movie is not on Disney+. EDIT: It’s finally on Disney+ now!

I know there are still a bunch of older movies that you haven't covered, but I'll just cover my favorites: - Gus - Pollyanna - Swiss Family Robinson - Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey - The Shaggy Dog (Original and/or remake) - Treasure Island - The Apple Dumpling Gang Just some to think about for next year

Disappointed that this review basically came down to: "It's a brilliant movie because it's boring and the ending justifies it." That's not going to make people want to watch it. What about: The film's story is actually a good one (and remarkable in how it's based on something which really happened), and the performance by Richard Farnsworth (who was dying at the time) is powerful. Lynch had very specific reasons why he wanted to direct the film (which he elaborated on in his memoir Room to Dream). He was not trying to deliberately bore his audience.

THANK YOU! The Straight Story is such a well made movie. From the story, to the acting, to the directing, to the gorgeous scenery. It's a well written character piece that relies on (and succeeds in) the performances of Richard Farnsworth and the cast of characters Alvin meets along the way.

Honestly, I think this might be my favourite David Lynch film. Seriously, if I had to rank them it would be: 1. The Straight Story 2. Eraserhead 3. Blue Velvet 4. Mulholland Drive 5. Elephant Man 6. Wild at Heart 7. Lost Highway (And before you ask, no I have not seen Dune, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me or Inland Empire.)

I must realized there was a time in my childhood where I had a VERY MINOR incident like this - it was the final day of summer break and my friend had a big party plan over at his house, but my family had plans to go out that day and I was far too young at the time to have a driver's license, so I got on my bike and rode over to his house, it was in an entirely different neighborhood and the path that I went on there were no bike walks or sidewalks or anything so I had to trudge through a bunch of deep tangled grass to get there, and it was a hot summer day. By the time I finally arrived I was so exhausted and sweaty I could hardly speak coherently, by the time I reached his door, when I knocked and he answered he was like " did you seriously ride your bike all the way over here", and I was like...yup

I remember there was one scene in this movie that made me laugh and it's this scene called "I Love Deer". The man comes across a woman who just ran over a deer. She emotional and distressed because she says this is the 13th deer shes hit in 7 weeks. She screaming about how she does everything she can to stop from hitting them but she always plows into them no matter how much she honks her horn, plays loud music or shouts out the window. She then looks into the distance and calmly asks "Where do they come from?" and before she leaves she says the one funny line "I LOVE DEER!" driving away and leaving the man a deer he cooks up and eats. It's kinda funny in an ironic way i suppose, she loves deer yet she keeps killing them by accident and the man got dinner because of her accident.

At no point did I find this film boring. The entire film is entertaining. The long "boring" shots were not monotonous, they were beautiful and accompanied by incredible music.

@ArizonanSummer

Not boring, but certainly slow.

To me the main theme of this movie is the pain of old age, its that slow for a reason, do you remember when a truck blows his hat away and he takes soooooooooooo long to get it and get back on his lawn moer? How we painfuly, monotonously watched him slowly bit by bit do this simple action? Since the beggining of the movie his old age problems become obvious, what once didn't affect him at all as a young man now is taking it's toll, this theme is obvious when he's telling those kids about the worst things about being old. The ending of the movie is also about growing old, him and his old brother watching the stars, just like how they used to do when they talked each other through youth , but this time, too tired to utter a word.

The Deer Lady and the at the Store with the Grabber scenes are some of the most Lynchian things you could ever see... The vistas as he travel with the music are perfect, and for some reason the part with him in the storm watching the lightning really gets to me emotionally. And if you cant feel something during the talk with the veteran in the bar you arent human in my opinion... Yeah its slow, but thats life... and the fact the actor Richard Farnsworth was literally on his own deaths door during the filming of this make the movie special, raw and the emotions extremely natural.

This is like a Disney's version of París,Texas

Finally watched The Straight Story, it was great. It was slow, but the small human interactions were so wonderful. They weren't grandiose, epic, insanely deep, but they were genuine. Watching this movie almost felt therapeutic.

I can't believe you're reviewing this movie! I saw it in the theatre and I loved it! No one I know has ever heard of it.

So, with The Straight Story added to the list, here is what I believe to be Doug's rankings of all 31 movies/shows he's reviewed for this December. Again, this is how I interpreted how he feels about them; if you want to disagree, go ahead. But this is what I believe: 1. Gravity Falls 2. Gargoyles 3. The Mandalorian 4. The Straight Story 5. New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh 6. Avengers: Endgame 7. Kim Possible 8. Short Films Collection 9. Ant-Man & The Wasp 10. Doctor Strange 11. Sister Act 12. Dinosaurs 13. Spider-Man: Far From Home 14. House Of Mouse 15. Olaf's Frozen Adventure 16. The Nutcracker & The Four Realms 17. Ernest Goes To Jail 18. Ernest Goes To Camp 19. Toy Story 4 20. Christopher Robin 21. Ralph Breaks The Internet 22. Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil 23. The Good Dinosaur 24. The Jungle Book 25. Frozen 2 26. Princess Protection Program 27. Captain Marvel 28. Descendants 3 29. Dumbo 30. Lady And The Tramp 31. The Lion King

I can’t wait for next years Disneycember Doug and Happy new year 🎆

After seeing the Top 11 Films Saved By The Ending list I can see what he's saying. A film that seems so simple and even minimalistic can change your very perception of everything that's happened in literally the last minute. That one minute changed how I viewed this entire film and I can't love it enough because of that.

This film has been a favorite of mine since it was first released 20 years ago

Honestly, your Disneycember stuff is some of my favorite stuff.

I remember seeing this film a long time ago. I don't remember much of anything about it anymore but I remember having a feeling of fondness for it. It is amazing to hear someone else talk about it.

I find it very strange that Doug often complains about different tropes in stories being used over and over again, and yet when a film shows just simple moments and a simple life unfolding before us, he says it’s boring. I really don’t know what he wants. I think he’s been in joke mode and cynical mode for so long that I think he’s really forgotten how to really appreciate film.

I think he just missed the forest for the trees, but lucked into some meaning in spite of that. I think the trip would have felt different if the filmmaker was deliberately going for "boring". I do know I wasn't bored for a moment, late 20th century america, old veterans, and small towns fascinate me. This felt like a window into some worlds that I was not familiar with, the lawn mower trip was just a vehicle to get to them (no pun intended).

Well I wouldn't take any film criticism seriously from a person who made "films" like Kickassia and Suburban Knights. Any movie of any actual substance is bound to be lost on this guy

This movie is with out a doubt within my top 10 favourite movies of all time. It's such a beautiful film.

Visual storytelling The red turtle made me respect those types of stories

I saw it a month ago after many years and I loved it as well as my parents. It's very relaxing with beautiful scenery but sad at the same time, as you see the struggle of an old and pretty sick person. The main actor being really sick during filming gave a convincing performance.

This seems like this movie proves that having joy in the journey really depends on the journey.

I remember in spring 2013, I looked up the greatest Disney villains. Just to see what other people thought who was the best of the worst. I clicked on your video. I’ve been a fan ever since. Whether it was Nostalgia Critic, Top 5, or just needed a good laugh with Chester A Bum. In this review you talked about how the Straight Story changed how you look at Cinema. For me you changed how I look at movies. I can’t tell you how many times I saw a big lipped alligator moment. Or wondered while seeing a movie how you would look at it. I may not always agree with your opinion. But I always respect it. With the 2020’s coming tomorrow, I felt like I needed to say this. Mr. Walker I wish you and the rest of the Channel Awesome staff a very happy new year. You may remember it, so we don’t have to. But I get the feeling a whole lot of people will remember you.

It's one of the greatest mivies I've ever seen. Not ust because I showed it to my brother witch lived all his life with my mom and me with my dad. Because it is such a simple masterpiece. Thanks Doug for bringing this movie up at the end of disneysember. Really great movie to end on. Happy New year from Norway

Working on my second novel. One of the two main characters is a former horse rancher with dementia. Whenever I write about him I see Farnsworth in this, in the red plaid jacket (in my novel it’s a red plaid bathrobe) and everything clicks.

Happy New Year, Channel Awesome!

Happy New Year Doug! 🎆🎆🎆
