Mickey's childhood it's understandable why he was moved by the 'Gilbert Grape' story. I'm sure it did bring him and those who've known hardships and have a heart to tears.

And DiCaprio's 'Arnie' was superb. The film made an impression on me for weeks; I told many folks to see it, 'Bennie & Joon' too.
