DVD: The Dish (2001) - A nice, gentle character study

Our friend Michael is always a great source of interesting and quirky films and "The Dish" is certainly one of them. It is a gentle character study based around the crew of the Parkes Radio Telescope at the time of the Apollo 11 moon landing. While they face minor adversity, it is the characters that are the star here. I would certainly watch "The Dish" again and I recommend it to others...like I am doing here. (SMILE)

Some other overlooked (and usually mis-marketed) movies that we like include:

Leap of Faith
My Blue Heaven
Undercover Blues
