Boolie employs Hole Colburn (Morgan Freeman) as Daisy's chauffeur, but her resistance to this intrusion into her life causes conflict between the two.As time goes on however, the two develop a close bond and realise that over their 25 year relationship, they have become each other's best friend. Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play, Driving Miss Daisy would go on to win four Academy Awards in 1990, including Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Driving Lessons (2006) The Graduate meets Harold and Maude in this rites of passage comedy from the writer of Her Majesty Mrs Brown. With yet another dreary school holiday coming around for the shy and downtrodden Ben (Rupert Grint) things couldn't get much worse. Seventeen years of living in an absurdly conservative and traditional household with his highly-strung and overbearing mother (Laura Linney) and quiet, mild mannered vicar father, have taken their toll on young Ben. While the other kids are having fun, Ben spends these precious few weeks attending bible classes, having driving lessons with his mother and helping out at the local old people's home. However, Ben's world is turned upside down when he is employed by an eccentric retired actress, Evie (Julie Walters). Evie's unconventional and often downright bizarre behaviour challenges Ben's beliefs and forces him to confront the very idea of who he wants to be. Julie Walters is a knock-out in this role of a fading star with an acid tongue. Rupert Grint (Harry Potter Series) relishes the opportunity to play alongside her in this warm tale about friendship, old age, and coming of age.
