I still love this movie. The spirit and the message is timeless, who doesn't like a story about second chances? This movie is about four of them, all converging into one of the best tales of the triumph of the human spirit. I have this inexplicable tendency to watch the movie whenever I need a pep talk. The cast was perfect -- mostly. Maguire, Bridges, Cooper, and Macy delivered masterful performances; my only quibble is Banks, who I think was poorly cast to play a dark-haired Mexican woman (did they want to keep the cast completely white?). However, the rest of the movie is more than enough to forgive this little quibble. On top of this was the great cinematography, the interesting way that little "history lessons" were periodically inserted to give the greater context behind the story, the inspiring music, and great sceneries. It is definitely a timeless classic as far as I'm concerned.
