Amazon.com essential video:
Winner of the Academy Award for best picture of 1989, this gracefully moving drama, adapted from the hit play by Alfred Uhry, chronicles the 25-year friendship between a stubborn, aging Southern widow (Jessica Tandy) and her loyal chauffeur (Morgan Freeman). At first, the self-sufficient Miss Daisy is reluctant to accept the services of a chauffeur, but Hoke is quiet, wise, and tolerant, and as the years pass the unlikely friends develop a deep mutual respect and admiration. Tandy deservedly won the Oscar for her sassy and sensitive performance, and Freeman earned an Oscar nomination for bringing quiet depth and integrity to his memorable role. Ironically, director Bruce Beresford (Tender Mercies) was not nominated, but the film won Oscars for makeup and for Uhry's screenplay, in addition to a supporting actor nomination for Dan Aykroyd as Daisy's supportive son. Delicate, funny, and bittersweet, Driving Miss Daisy was a surprise hit when released, and marked the crowning achievement of Tandy's great career. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Wonderful DVD
This is a wonderful movie. Mr. Morgan Freeman is wonderful in nearly every movie I've ever seen him in. He's a great actor. Ms Jessica Tandy is the same. Together Mr. Freeman and Ms Tandy are superb in Driving Miss Daisy. I love the charming southern accents and the lovely backgrounds. The house used in this movie is beautiful. I enjoyed this movie and am wearing it out from watching it so much. I will certainly replace it if I ever need to. It's that great!!! And worth every penny I paid for ... Read More
Rating: - Not to be missed
Jessica Tandy - Morgan Freeman . . . this pair of consummate actors under skilled direction turn a pretty good script into one of those movies you won't forget - and which you will return to with gusto from time to time. Tandy received the Oscar (she was then 81 years old), and Freeman was nominated as Best Actor but denied the statuette he deserved, which was surprisingly awarded to Daniel Day Lewis for a now-obscure film "My Left Foot." "Driving" was nominated for eight Oscars, and was winner for ... Read More
Rating: - Loved it.
This was a truly enjoyable movie. Jessica Tandy is a gem (as always) and Morgan Freeman was also delightful in this role. Though he lays it on a bit thick at times with the overacting, it is only a minor distraction from the story. American Jews played a crucial supporting role in the Civil Rights Movement, it is refreshing to see this part of the struggle referenced in a Hollywood production.
Rating:  - Tandy and Freeman Make Movie Magic!
Age before beauty. That's always been the saying. But what do you do when a movie is so beautiful, it becomes instantly ageless? Such is the situation with this movie. Jessica Tandy once again shows why she was considered such a great actress. And Morgan Freeman shines as her chauffeur. And this movie also starred Esther Rolle, my favorite black actress, who died of complications due to diabetes on Nov. 17, 1998. The story is simple: After accidentally backing her car over a small embankment, Daisy ... Read More
