I had never seen this untill now, my girlfriend and myself watched it there,
a real feel good flick with great performances from Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy.

Should have never beat Field of Dreams for the best picture oscar but its a fairly inoffensive movie

From imdb :

An elderly Jewish widow living in Atlanta can no longer drive. Her son insists she allow him to hire a driver, which in the 1950s meant a black man. She resists any change in her life but, Hoke, the driver is hired by her son. She refuses to allow him to drive her anywhere at first, but Hoke slowly wins her over with his native good graces. The movie is directly taken from a stage play and does show it. It covers over twenty years of the pair's life together as they slowly build a relationship that transcends their differences

At least once every decade a small movie wins an Oscar for Best Picture. It's always been like that.

Exactly, you should watch the Extended Edition where she drags him out into the back garden and whips him while he's lashed to a tree while wearing a KKK outfit, its kinda rare but you should get it on ebay
