Rain ManRain Man is a 1988 film which tells the story of a selfish yuppie who discovers that his father has left all of his estate to the autistic brother he never knew he had. It stars Tom Cruise as the yuppie Charlie Babbitt, Dustin Hoffman as his brother Raymond, and Valeria Golino as Charlie's girlfriend Susanna. The movie was written by Ronald Bass and Barry Morrow, and directed by Barry Levinson, and it is based on autistic savant Kim Peek. It won Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Dustin Hoffman), Best Director, Best Picture and Best Writing, Original Screenplay. It was nominated for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing and Best Music, Original Score. The title comes from how the infant Charlie (Cruise) pronounced his older brother Raymond's (Hoffman) name. The car featured in the film, a yellow 1949 Buick Roadmaster convertible, is used for the brothers' cross-country trip to Los Angeles. Charlie tells a story behind the car's existence in his earlier years. In the story, he was forbidden to drive the car, but he took it anyway, and was arrested for its theft. But Raymond took driving lessons with his father in the Buick, which led to his constant professing that he's an excellent driver. Raymond likes to recite the famous "Who's on First?" comedy routine from Abbott and Costello. Memorable Quotes - I'm an excellent driver. -- Raymond
- Uh oh, fifteen minutes to Judge Wapner -- Raymond
