"Young Mr. Lincoln" is one of my favorite bio-flicks. Fonda overdid the reverence in which we hold Lincoln, but he got away with it (because he's Henry Fonda - ).

I absolutely loved the courtroom scene in which he's questioning Ward Bond and the subject of Bond's character's name comes up - Jack Cass! Absolutely hilarious!!

The ending scene when Fonda is walking down the rode in the rainstorm is completely overdone, but its one of my favorite movie moments of all time.

If you're looking for a few Fonda film recommendations, I'd suggest "On Golden Pond" (with Katherine Hepburn and his final movie), "My Darling Clementine" (a decent western in which he plays Wyatt Earp) and "In Harm's Way" (a good war flick; Fonda has a somewhat small role as Admiral Halsey).
