that was a great movie!!! I may have to rent it again now.
I've seen this movie. I bawled too. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, SusanD
My step-brother Bryan and I were home alone for the weekend and we stayed up way late (after 9) and watched this. We cried and cried. I remember we had popcorn we never ate and soda we never drank. I had to clean it up in the morning. Since pop and snacks were rarities at our house, you know we were sorely affected.
I don't remember the movie, but I remember the theme song made me cry whenever my sister played it on the piano!
I remember it and I loved it. I love the song too. I used to try to play it on the piano, but I was never very good at it. Oh and I cried too when I watched it.
For the record, you asked for this comment: I haven't seen this movie, mostly because I wasn't even born when it was on TV.
You're welcome. ;-)
That and "Love Story" are the saddest movies I've ever seen. After I saw this movie I kept thinking I had lung cancer. I don't watch sad, depressing movies any more!!
Oh I remember that one! Cried like a baby myself!!!!
