  • Movies with adult/kid friendship

    The relationship between the football player and the kid in BLINDSIDE was a good one. What are some other well known movies (preferably dramas) where an adult and kid (non-related) had a friendship where they inspired one another? I guess THE KARATE KID would be another. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
