Movie: Indian Summer -- required viewing

I hope you'll give me a little latitude here. This is a hair off topic.

If you haven't seen the movie Indian Summer with Alan Arkin and an all star cast, I think it is required viewing for camp nostalganiks like us. Arkin plays Uncle Milty (Morty?), the camp owner/director who has aged and lost touch with the campers. At what he thinks is the the end of the last season, he invites "us" to the camp for a week.

It's been years since I saw it, but it really hit home. I nearly cried because it really is *our story*. OK, it's fiction, but you'll recognize bits and pieces of us in the characters -- so much so that it's scary. I promise, you won't be disappointed.
