Amazing Grace

I may have already posted about this but I decided to watch it again after a friend returned it when I lent it to her. I LOVE this movie on so many levels. Please rent it and watch it. You can thank me later.

Besides having a great subject and being very inspirational (and a mostly true story) I love many of the actors in the movie, especially Ioan Gruffudd, who was also in the Horatio Hornblower series, which I also love.

Here is a link to the movie trailer:
