There's something irresistible about a true story that's also a feel-good story, and in an age where "musicals started as a sweet little novel by a British writer. Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks turn in great performances of these loveable characters from history, which is definitely worth a second watch.

Apart from simply being an interesting story and real people making movie magic, Saving Mr. Banks also has a lot to offer in of it's look. It has beautiful bright colors that will send you back to the eye-popping age of technicolor (when Mary Poppins was made), and it's even crisper and more beautiful on blu-ray!
