Regarding Henry (1991)

The world is a better place with Regarding Henry in it -- an underrated film with understated performances that stay with and grow on you. It is a story about an a--hole of an attorney who loses his mind, then becomes a better human being. After his trauma, Harrison Ford is such a puppy dog. His acting, as well as Annette Benning's, is memorable. The callousness of the workplace, esp. for his profession, is believable, and I like the twist at the end. This is not a date movie, since it is about a major marriage crisis, though it is for couples that are married or plan on getting married. (Expanded from my original review dated 12/31/05 since Netflix lost it after I submitted it three times.) 3.5 stars.
