Just watched it. Totally loved it, cried like a baby. What other movies have I missed in my 32 years? House to myself tomorrow so any ideas for movies i need to see? Planning a lazy Sunday before things hot up with the big C (🎄)What's your favourites?

delboysskinandblister - I came on to say Truly Madly Deeply too.

LOVE fried green tomatoes.

there's a French film called Romauld and Juliette. I don't think anyone other than me has ever seen it ever. But it's gorgeous.

WAY better than Cinema Paradiso.

Can't believe The Notebook has only been mentioned once. It's a beautiful, uplifting, heartbreaking, film.
