Just a standard walk/push mower.
Gas mower.
Answer
Craftsman, for my personal experience is probably the worst lawn mower known to man. I would suggest one of the Toro Personal paces. You lean into it and it goes faster. Hard to explain it without sounding like a regular push mower. Comes in handy on hills though. Push on the mower and it goes faster. On the backside of the hill, it won't drag you down. Good on gas milage. I believe they are putting out mowers that are 6.75 HP which for most residential mowers is PLENTY.
Just FYI, Home Depot probably has the best selection of good mowers. Until you talk about yard machines. They're cheap and they come with a warranty but you will definately need it. The Toro that I told you about you shouldn't have too many problems if its maintained well. Its the most bang for your buck mower you could ever get.

Answer
The Straight Story ( 1999 )
In an age of ever larger explosions, gaudy but unconvincing CGI, and endless 'wire-fu', it is a pleasure beyond words to find a film that foregoes these things and concentrates on a story that is nothing but human. Alvin Straight (Richard Farnsworth), a 70-yr-old farmer with a speech impaired daughter (Sissy Spacek), has a stroke, and this reminder of his mortality spurs him to find and make peace with his estranged brother. The problem is that to do this, he must travel 320 miles across America. Without a driver's licence. Ever resourceful, Alvin mounts his lawnmower and begins his quest. And that, really, is all you need to know. The beauty of this film lies in the majestically serene view that director David Lynch takes of Middle America; the picturesque vistas without echo the innate human goodness within. The elderly Alvin Straight, wonderfully underplayed by Farnsworth, is impossible not to like, and on his journey we learn, via his episodic meetings with assorted strangers (who never remain strangers for long), more about him and the reasons behind his voyage. If you're after sound and fury, forget it. The closest to conflict you'll find here is a some haggling over a repair bill, and even that is fairly good natured. But the real trick that Lynch pulls off is the warmth and honesty with which the story is told. Never for a moment does it descend into sentimentality, and it says quite clearly that not every problem has a solution. For fans of less-is-more film-making, this is for you. For everyone else, this is still for you. Unreservedly recommended.
