Favorite movies that have had an impact on me - #114 - While You Were Sleeping (1995) - Sandra Bullock is at her adorable best as Lucy, a Chicago token seller who has a major crush on one of her regular riders (Peter Gallagher). On Christmas she saves him from an oncoming train after he falls on the tracks after a bunch of muggers attack him. Later at the hospital she inadvertently fibs that she is his fiancée so that she can get in to see the comatose man and see if he's O.K. She learns that his name is Peter and meets his wonderful family, who immediately fall in love with her — including his younger brother Jack (Bill Pullman). Hijinks ensue, and the lonely Lucy must find a way to tell the truth and not hurt the people who she has come to love.
