'The Climb' (starring John Hurt, David Strathairn, Gregory Smith, Marla Sokoloff and Sarah Buxton) has just been re-released on DVD.
It's one of those hidden gems that got lost in the shuffle when it was released, despite critical acclaim and film festival awards. Thankfully, 'The Climb' is now re-released and more people can discover it. It's an amazing film that captures the 1950s nostalgic perfectly and has a grade A cast!
You guys should definitely check it out. I highly recommend it!!

John Langer, (John Hurt -Two-time Academy Award nominee, Elephant Man, Midnight Express) a crusty old civic engineer, has an arsenal full of memories. With irreverent wit, he rattles on, in his irascible humorous style, burning his spicy stories into the imagination of a young neighbor kid, Danny Himes (Gregory Smith, TV's Everwood). Danny is a gifted, spirited athlete with something to prove. Worldly, old man Langer has turned his back on proving anything at all. It's post WWII. Danny's father, Earl, (David Strathairn, Academy Award nominee, Good Night, and Good Luck) did not serve in the military and is considered a coward. Danny excels to overcome his father's reputation while Earl is actually more a man than the town knows. "You don't smoke, you don't drink, and you don't screw. What kind of man are you anyway?" old man Langer asks Danny. The more appropriate question is: "What kind of men are they?" Produced by Mark McClafferty, Robert Rea, Pamela Edwards McClafferty, and Tom Parkinson.
