Review of 8 Seconds

8 Seconds (1994)
9/10
A great movie and a very special ending of the real man
16 January 2006
This is the kind of movie that would pull tears out of a statue. Luke Perry did a great job all the way. I never heard of Lane Frost until then, but I have studied about him since. I was in Cheyenne at Warren AFB in early 1951 way before Lane was born, and had to leave just before the Cheyenne Frontier Days. This movie was not the kind you forget as soon as it's over, it stays with you and bugs you, and very few do that to me. I'm 75 and have seen a lot. The only other movies that I said would "pull tears out of a statue" would have to be "October Sky" and "I'll See You in My Dreams" (Doris Day). As a youngster, I got hung up on Westerns and that stayed with me most of my life, which is probably the real reason I missed so many good movies. Now I sit around and try to catch up, thanks to my recent interest in a lady I consider the "Worlds Most Versatile and Talented Actress".
