18 Wild Trips to the Library Stacks

PHILADELPHIA (1993)
Libraries are not always the perfect environments we would hope them to be. In one of the many heart-breaking scenes from Philadelphia, Tom Hanks' character Andrew Beckett endures the suspicious and fearful stares of other library patrons and the librarian who helps find a book about AIDS discrimination. Witnessing the struggle, Joe Miller (Denzel Washington), who had previously declined to take Beckett's case, agrees to the job.
