I have a movie that has been stumping my Mom for about 2 years now. Every now and then we'll rent a movie and watch it all the way through to see if its in there, and then we cross it off the list. If I can figure it out, I'll be the family hero. OK: so there's a guy talking to another guy about when he was younger his dad brought a bird back to life using mouth-to-mouth resucitation. That's it. Please help me. I gladly appreciate any suggestions on movie I can watch.

Thanks, Kye

I think the movie you're talking about is 'The Green Mile.'

Kye, 'The Green Mile' is about a prison in the US - does that also sound familiar? An excellent film.

No, that doesn't sound right - he brought the bird back to life in that during the movie .. it wasn't a re3collection.

Was it a new movie a couple years ago or an older one that your Mum saw then?

It was a mouse he brought back to life, was there a bird too?

Ummmm - I thought so but now you mention it ....

Perhaps I was too busy wiping my eyes during it.

Yeah, the movie was one that she said she's watched in the last couple of years. That really doesn't help though, because that doesn't necessarily mean it was made in the last couple of years. Movies I've tried that I can think of off the top of my head:
The green mile, dragonfly, powder, unbreakable. She seems to think that the guy who is doing the recollecting has some kind of supernatural power. That throws a wrench in the problem for me, so I pay no attention to it.

Why am I thinking "American Beauty"? Or maybe even "Benny And Joon". Then there is "The Birdman Of Alcatraz". Hard question! I can't recall the actual reference, though.

Thanks, I'll look into those...

No, there was no bird brought back to life in The Green Mile. The only animal brought back to life was a mouse!

Wasn't any of those movies, anyone else want to help me out...please...

Er, was it Phenomenon? Michael? Umm...
