7/28 – Ray (204) Taylor Hackford (153 mins.)

Speaking of mesmerizing performances! Foxx took the Oscar for this portrayal in 2004 (the year we lost Ray Charles).  And it’s a scorcher! This one has it all… great performances; struggle and triumph; the agony of touring; and heroin. You will absolutely be humming the tunes on the way home…and they will be in heavy rotation for weeks after!

Ray: “Baby, when I walk out that door, I walk out alone in the dark! I'm trying to do something that ain't nobody ever done in music and business. But I can't do it if I'm alone everywhere I go. I don't want to be alone here, Bea.”
