1.Rain Man (1988)
An Academy Award Best Picture buddy film: one is a selfish yuppie, the other is his institutionalized savant brother featuring an unforgettable performance from Best Actor Dustin Hoffman (one of his two Oscars, the other was earned in 1979's Best Picture). Lots of hilarious interplay in this one. Director Barry Levinson won his only Oscar (to date), as did the Original Screenplay.
Tom Cruise plays the self absorbed one (big stretch;-) who discovers his wealthy father left his estate to his "idiot" brother Raymond (Hoffman). He didn't even know he had a brother, but figures that the only way to the money is through Raymond. So, he kidnaps Raymond and takes him on a cross-country journey of discovery, for them both. Valerie Golino plays Cruise's girlfriend, who forces him to appreciate Raymond for who he is. When Cruise discovers that his brother has special skills, he exploits him. But the film has a somewhat upbeat conclusion.
Léon (1994) 这个杀手不太冷
Mathilda, a twelve-year old New York girl, is living an undesirable life among her half-family. Her father stores drugs for two-faced cop Norman Stansfield. Only her little brother keeps Mathilda from breaking apart. One day, Stansfield and his team take cruel revenge on her father for stretching the drugs a little, thus killing the whole family. Only Mathilda, who was out shopping, survives by finding shelter in Léon's apartment in the moment of highest need. Soon, she finds out about the strange neighbour's unusual profession - killing - and desperately seeks his help in taking revenge for her little brother. Léon, who is completely unexperienced in fatherly tasks, and in friendships, does his best to keep Mathilda out of trouble - unsuccessfully. Now, the conflict between a killer, who slowly discovers his abilities to live, to feel, to love and a corrupt police officer, who does anything in his might to get rid of an eye witness, arises to unmeasurable proportions - all for the sake of a little twelve-year old girl, who has nearly nothing to lose.
