Saltzman Sees...The Music Never Stopped (2011)

The Music Never Stopped is based on the true story of a man who has lost his memory, but not his love for music.  J.K. Simmons gives one of the best performances of his career as Henry Sawyer, who is trying to rekindle a lost relationship with his son.  Lou Taylor Pucci plays Gabriel, who has a brain tumor that makes it nearly impossible to create new memories.  Julia Ormond and Cara Seymour also star in one of the most heartfelt and gut wrenching stories of a father and son fighting for what they lost.

This movie had a budget of $4 million and only grossed $258,077 according to Internet Movie Database.

This is my Most Underrated Movie of 2011.

The Music Never Stopped also won my Best Actor (J.K. Simmons) in 2011.
