If you haven't seen the movie "The Straight Story" - you need to take the time to watch it.
It's a true story about Alvin Straight who drove a John Deere lawn tractor from Iowa to Wisconsin to see his brother.
Richard Farnsworth (from Lincoln, NM - I had to get that in) plays Alvin Straight; Sissy Spacek is his slightly retarded daughter, and Harry Dean Stanton is Alvin's brother.
Watch for the giant ear of corn float being pulled by a pickup truck; and the house on fire (and firemen casually putting it out) as Alvin loses the brakes on the tractor.
