Just added The Hours and Shadowlands to my Wish List on Amazon - planning to place an order in the next week or so.

Also noticed that Schindlers List is being released on DVD next week - been waiting for this to come out on DVD for yonks - another favourite

Imitation of Life (very old film with Lana Turner) is the soppiest weepy ever.

Meant prufrock, but agree with the hours too. Will shut up and go in the bar now. sorry

prufrock · 06/04/2004 10:30

It's even worse when she comes back at the end and throws herself onto the coffin - in fact I can feel my eyes prickling just thinking about it!

amadeus

Ouisie · 06/04/2004 21:32

What about Life is Beautiful? Manon des Sources (sequel to Jean de Florette)? I actually sobbed my eyes out in Trainspotting when the bub dies!!!!
