For “Popcorn and Inspiration” this week, I’m choosing 1988’s “Midnight Run” for a few reasons. 1) It’s one of the funniest American movies ever made and we all need a good laugh right about now, and 2) it has, a certain twisted nobility—a moral code and set of ethics the two main characters live by, which ultimately prevail—and, should you see the movie, I think you’ll find it inspiring.
