Boys Town

Stars - Spencer Tracy (#9); Cheers (#81); Heroes - Father Edward (#46)

This is much more my kind of movie. I definitely prefer heartwarming stories to bloody horror films. Father Flanagan starts Boys Town, a home for troubled boys, as a means to keep them out of jail. This movie focuses on one boy who keeps resisting the chances Flanagan offers him.

It's a bit hokey at times, but it's also hopeful and encouraging.

*Note - The AFI list said "Father Edward", but I'm fairly certain they meant to say "Father Flanagan".
