this was one of my mother her favorite movies. We must have watched it numerous times together. When she called me she had difficulty remembering little things and had pain in one of her legs I drove her to the hospital and I put on the Hans Zimmer soundtrack on the way in my car. She immediately recognized it and told me how much she loved that movie. Less than a month later she died. The last thing we said to each other was...hey mom it's me, do you know who I am? and she said...no, I have no idea

[@razorshark9320]

Love this movie.

[@Merilm26]

Omg this is the best movie ever

Raymond is NOT high-functioning. If he were, he wouldn’t need to live there, and he would be able to eat with a fork and knife. He is mid to low-functioning.

[@SuperSimmerGal]

By late 1980s standards he was. Terminology has changed since then.

[@dyyuri]

Well correct me if I'm wrong but he was placed in the institution due to his father thinking he hurt Tom Cruise's character

[@SuperSimmerGal]

@@dyyuri Good point. If the father hadn't jumped to conclusions, Raymond wouldn't have necessarily had to go to Walbrook.

1:44 first seen of Raymond!

[@catbirdseat4849]

The pitiful red comment always cracks me up.

[@atekka1]

best part of the whole film: from 2:19 to 4:09

[@braedenbaker2880]

Love Tom Cruise

[@patrickstocks3576]

1:05 sounds like a cow human!

[@derrickyee1143]

Actor John Dehner almost played Dr. Bruner instead Gerald Molen.

[@1dree1]

Does anybody know the song played on from 1:08? :) Thanks a lot.

[@orderinthechaos3190]

Been searching for the song for months! Does anyone know??

[@1dree1]

@@orderinthechaos3190 I'm still curious too :-D

Raymond had a wrong diagnosist he's very severly disabled not high functioning

[@scottherf]

He’s almost jumping the shark as an actor, is what he is.
