I spent two days at a school in Edmond, Oklahoma and one of the only things I remember from that time is reading the short story and watching the 1947 movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty starring Danny Kaye. Such a great movie. It’s hard with really great classics to watch them be remade, but with the advances in technology and cinematography I really feel that this movie has been well done.

Here’s the synopsis of the remake, via IMDb:

A timid magazine photo manager who lives life vicariously through daydreams embarks on a true-life adventure when a negative goes missing.

Take a look at this trailer starring Ben Stiller as Walter Mitty.
