#79. Walk the Line (2005)


Director: James Mangold
Screenplay: Gill Dennis & James Mangold (Based on the book "Man in Black" by Johnny Cash and "Cash the Autobiography" by Johnny Cash and Patrick Carr)
Cast: Joquin Pheonix, Reese Witherspoon, Ginnifer Goodwin, Robert Patrick, Dallas Roberts, Dan John Miller, Larry Bagby, Tyler Hilton, Waylon Payne

Quote: "I only want to take care of you. I will not leave you like that dutch boy with your finger in the dam."

Based on the life of country singing legend Johnny Cash (played amazingly by Joaquin Phoenix), we follow the good and bad of his life. His unhappy days when his brother was accidentally and brutally killed, his way to the top and his sad/unsuccessful marriage to a woman who was pulling him down, and off course, his legendary romance with the one-and-only, charming and beautiful June Carter (Reese Witherpoon in her Oscar winning performance).

OSCAR winner for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Reese Witherspoon)
