Steel magnolias, it's one of my favourites alongside fried green tomatoes.

Oh my goodness... my cousins had that on video when I was in my early teens..! I loved that film!

The Postman. Il Postino - it's an Italian movie from from early 90s. Beautiful.

Antonia's Line - mid 90s, Dutch movie.

If you don't mind subtitles.

Steel Magnolias, Thelma and Louise and maybe Beaches.

I watched Steel magnolias for the first time yesterday. I'd seen bits and pieces over the years, but had no idea that she died, that was a shock, but it was all so strong and positive.

Justmuddlingalong · 01/12/2018 22:55

Life is beautiful. It's Italian with subtitles. My god. It's so sad. So beautiful, well made and stays with you.

Not seen the film, but the book is one of my favourites. Highly recommend it.

elephantoverthehill · 01/12/2018 23:02

I put up a clip from 'Calendar Girls' on a cake thread last night and had a reply saying that the OP hadn't seen it, but will. One I had totally forgotten about until my DS reminded me was 'The Breakfast Club'.

MrsJayy · 01/12/2018 23:08
