Anyone else watching The Railway Children?

[saltyseadog]

I love it. All ready to blub at the end

We have it on DVD watch it every xmas eve- it was the first film ever saw in the cinema about 1973 love it!

im all watched out on this one so no

This was the TV version wasn't it? I hate it. Not a patch on the original.

it was totally different... I left the room before it ruined the legendary "daddy.... my daddy"

I didn't watch it but I remember listening to Mark Kermode on Five Live once and there was a discussion about what films make MEN cry. I seem to remember that there was quite a lot of emails saying the "Daddy . . . my Daddy!" scene from the original film was the one that got most men blubbing. I thought that was really endearing!

i started to watch it then dp started going on about how it was so middle class and it put me off.

do like the original one better though

Agree the original one is better - but I still love it.

Wintera - DH started to well up at the "Daddy...my Daddy" scene

'daddy my daddy'

I will never forget the effect that had on me as a little girl, I was about 7/8 when i saw it. my daddy worked overseas ALOT, and I only ever saw him leave at the railway station, or return to the railway station.

(sniff)

I just remember being so so amazed at this girl in a film shouting that out. i don't think my actual dad will ever realise how much I loved/love him
