Rain Man (Special Edition)
Dustin Hoffman is a 'triumph (People) in an Oscar(r)-winning* role, and Tom Cruiseis 'terrific (ABC Radio) in a film that's fascinating, touching and full of smart surprises (Newsweek)! Charlie Babbitt (Cruise) has just discovered he has an autistic brother named Raymond (Hoffman) and is now taking him on the ride of his life. Or is it the other way around? From his refusal to drive on major highways to a four minutes to Wapner meltdown at an Oklahoma farmhouse, Raymond first pushes hot-headed Charlie to the limits of his patience and then pulls him completely out of his self-centered world! But what began as an unsentimental journey for the Babbitt brothers becomes much more than the distance between two placesit's a connection between two vastly different people and a poignant, profound and powerful film (Joel Siegel, ABC-TV)! *1988: Actor more

Stellar
I'm hard pressed to think of another movie where two prominent actors are more on top of their craft--where every single scene in which they interact makes you go, "Wow!"--than RAIN MAN. I've seen this movie several times (and hope to see it several times more) and walk away with a new...

VCR to DVD
Just wanted to update my DVD collection with one of my favorite movies, Rainman. Amazon had the best price and delivered within 5 business days, even during the holiday season.

Wonderful movie
Barry Levinson has proven again what a fine director he is.RAIN MAN delivers quite a punch as a human drama and sort of a buddy picture, with some humorous moments. It is deeply felt.Tom Cruise is excellent in this movie. Dustin Hoffman is great too.I would definitely recommend this one.

2.5 stars out of 4
The Bottom Line:A fairly middling film lifted out of its mediocrity only by the star power generated by Tom Cruise and a very good Dustin Hoffman, Rain Man is too long, too slow, and too uninteresting to be considered a good movie, much less a classic.

Great Item
I bought this DVD on Saterday & recieved it in the mail on Friday. I thought I was buying a used DVD but this one seemed New & still had the plastic over it like a new one usually does. This pleased me because I only paid close to three dollars plus shipping. I'm very pleased with this product.

Great Movie With A Decent Depiction Of A Person With A Disability
RAIN MAN is an excellent film that came out in 1988 when autism was relatively unknown. Though no one person on the autism spectrum is likely to exhibit all the traits Raymond Babbitt does Dustin Hoffman's portrayal of him is humane and relatively accurate. Tom Cruise is also excellent as...

Rainman
I'm a big fan of Dustin Hoffman and the part he played in this movie was one of his best characters. I can watch this movie over and over and it still brings tears to my eyes.

Questionable, potentially harmful
The one star is provided for the portrayal of autism's essential awkwardness.However, it's only one star. The film exasperates me, disabled also, by perpetuating the syrupy sentimentality that disability carries some compensating ability - here (as usual) mathematical genius. Nature's not like...

Kmart sucks Ray....
I love this movie! I had bought this as a gift for a friend because I couldn't find it in any stores around here. I ordered it online and what do you know, they have it in the $5 bin at Target. I was a bit upset with the price, but I'll survive I guess. LOL

SUNNY AND WARMER
Name a Hollywood actor who would have accepted the role of Rainman and then turned it into an Academy Award performance over 20 years ago. I can't. Hoffman's performance is consistent with the inconsistencies of autism, a disease still unfamiliar to most. The plot is simple. Cruise is all but...
