72. SO MUCH. SO FAST

hoping to prolong time.  time means the most when you live each day like it's your last.steven is diagnosed with ALS and his family each makes every effort in their power to make life good. he has a supportive wife; a new baby.  he has a brother who starts a research foundation to find a cure for the orphan condition.  mom helps feed him; dad works extra to make money for technology.  steven is an attractive, smart, funny, kind man, struck in his prime with a death sentence diagnosis.  yet, he doesn't lament his fate; he embraces it, living each day to it's fullest, making those around him comfortable with his declining body.  meanwhile, the lab eschews normal research procedure to hopefully find something quickly which can change the course of steven's, and other's, als condition.  that work affects brother jaime's life pretty significantly.  especially right now, where everyone that everyone knows is taking the ice bucket challenge for als, this film is fitting and current.
