The Blind Side (DVD)

Teenager Michael Oher is surviving on his own, virtually homeless, when he is spotted on the street by Leigh Anne Tuohy.

Learning that the young man is one of her daughter's classmates, Leigh Anne insists that Michael - wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the dead of winter - come out of the cold. Without a moment's hesitation, she invites him to stay at the Tuohy home for the night.

But what starts out as a gesture of kindness turns into something more, as Michael becomes part of the Tuohy family despite the differences in their backgrounds.

Academy Award-winner for Best Actress.
