Rain Man (15), September 1989

Starring Dustin Hoffman as Raymond Babbitt, who is autistic, and Tom Cruise as his wheeler-dealer brother, Charlie.  Charlie kidnaps Raymond for a kind of bounty then grows to love and respect him, but is allowed his bounty anyway when he outs Raymond’s numerical skills to good use in Las Vegas.  Hoffman’s award-winning performance is careful, discreet and scrupulously detailed.
