Pros: great music and performances, outstanding biopic
Cons: 25 years old
Summary: I'm not a big fan of country music. Being out in the sticks always made me agoraphobic. But this flick, 25 years before Walk the Line, came about as close to making a convert out of me as anything ever could. Coal Miner's Daughter is the biopic of ... read more

Pros: Wonderful biography, brilliantly acted
Cons: Country music - ewwww
Summary: First things first: I Am Not A Country Music Fan. That being said, this is one of my favorite movies. Don't ask me how a country music non-fan can be a fan of Loretta Lynn and a movie about her life. I simply can't explain it, but it is a fact.

Pros: Well-acted and intriguing
Cons: A little hokey, perhaps
Summary: Since I don't care for country music, I guess it's kind of odd that I have watched "Coal Miner's Daughter" over and over. Loretta Lynn is a woman to be admired, not only because she was able to overcome ignorance and poverty to become ... read more

Pros: good country music
Cons: not all that accurate
Summary: Ok, I went and watched this movie as a kid EVERY Friday night for about 8 weeks straight. Why? Because I am from the same town as Loretta Lynn and they showed this movie for this length of time...maybe longer. The movie is pretty good, but isn't all that ... read more

Pros: Tommy Lee Jones, Sissy Spacek
Cons: --
Summary: Sissy Spacek does her own singing in this biopic of the life of Loretta Lynn. And frankly, she does credit to Ms. Lynn, sounding as close as a human being can get to Lynn without actually being her.
This is also one of Tommy Lee Jones' first ... read more
