Favorite Ron Howard Film
A Beautiful Mind!
A Nobel Prize winner can have mental issues just like everyday persons.
Apollo 13
As a kid that wanted to grow up to be an astronaut, I loved watching anything having to do with space exploration and rocketry, so I’m going to have to go with Apollo 13 as my personal favorite.
Ron Howard
Backdraft….Because My MOm Was In The Movie ….Awesome I KNow!!!

Without a doubt Beautiful Mind. I had an aunt who was Schizophrenic but we did not know, nor there was much treatment in those days. Here the issue was handled in a humane and compassionate way and it clearly demonstrated that people with mental health problems, if treated cared for way can have a very productive life.
Favorite Ron Howard Movie And WHY?
My favorite Ron Howard movie is COCOON as it seems there could be a better place for a life other than Earth …a planet where there is no war,religion,sickness or hatred. and everyone can live in peace and harmony!!
my fav movie...
Apollo 13… having read about it in school in some class, i just remembered it as an event that happened in the past. but the movie changed the way it’s in my memory now, not just the science and technicality behind it but also the emotion behind the whole story. reminded me of how small we are in space, not just in size but the problems we worry about in our day to day lives.
Willow!
I loved Willow because it made me think, wow…this IS Willow!!!
favorite Ron Howard Movie and Why?
Angels and Demons is my favorite as it truly shows there is definetly good and evil in the world and the fight will continue to the end of all times!
Parenthood
I would have to say Parenthood would be at the top of my list. Ron Howard brilliantly captured many aspects that a parent faces making it easy to relate to in any era and definitely believable. Those with children would agree.
Apollo 13
Though hard to choose one, my favorite Ron Howard film is probably Apollo 13. It incorporates so many elements that I enjoy, drama, love, science, suspense, and is an extremely interesting story.
