Me too Ann, my daughter goes to bits with Beaches,
must admit I do to but there again I'm a softie with a
lot of things. :-D

Carousel my all time favourite. And I still cry at White christmas (well parts of it).

:-D :-D. Yea I did :-D :-D

Thanks Ann :-)

Emma will you indulge me?

ESTHER:(Judy Garland)

With my high-starched collar
And my high-topped shoes
And my hair piled high upon my head
I went to loose a jolly hour on the trolley
And lost my heart instead.
With his light brown derby
And his bright green tie
He was quite the handsomest of men.
I started to yen, so I counted to ten
Then I counted to ten again.

Clang, clang, clang went the trolley.
Ding, ding, ding went the bell.
Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
From the moment I saw him I fell.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor.
Bump, bump, bump went the brake.
Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
When he smiled, I could feel the car shake.

He tipped his hat
And took a seat.
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet.
He asked my name, I held my breath.
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor.
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels.
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings

...anyone join in? :-D

There is a trailer on YT Mau, looks like a new digitised version . Think I may enjoy this one also :-)

Fantastic Emma......I love films me :-D :-D

Mau, a woman after me own heart :-) why can't
they make more films like that...sighs ;-) and
not forgetting Carousel and Love is a Many Splendored Thing. :-)

WHO WHAT! Going to google Prickles :-)

oh Emma if a film is sad I can't help meself :-(....prefer happy but I just love 'Meet me in St.Louis ,one of my faves, and I just know I'll blubber when Judy sings to Margaret 'Have yourself a merry little Christmas' sniff...it reminds me of when I was very young and going to the flicks :-D

So glad we are all happy on this thread...sniffs...sobs :-D

I'm not familiar with that film PH but will definitely put it on my Lovefilm list thanks :-D

Just ordered it, but now does anyone know why they're sending two?...one theatrical and one director's cut? :-S

Has anyone seen Cinama Paradiso??

It's me favorite.

Double .........sniff, sob, hiccup!!

Beautiful film :-D :-D... role of George Bailey was originally to go to Cary Grant. Afterwards RKO gave Cary Grant the film 'The Bishop's Wife'.

I love the scenes where the boys are sliding down the bank on their shovels,looked so carefree :-D

~~~~ to All :-D XX

*hands tissues round to the blubbers....... :-D

Sniff, sob, hiccup!!

:-\ :-\ :-\

I've no doubt I will get around to it one day but not on youtube, although thanks for that. Remember seeing little women when very young, loved the stories, Little Women, Little men etc.

Sobs ...pack it in you lot...me eyes are red
and me nose is running...not a good look :-(

I also love the original "Little Women" Judy Garland,
Elizabeth Taylor, Margaret O'Brian etc, and that is my
all time favourite book. Bought it for my daughter, grand
daughters and when my great grand daughters are old
enough I will buy it for them :-D

Emma :-)

Regarded as a cinematic masterpiece and one of the most popular films of all times.

Oh Ann....you don't know what you are missing!

My other fave is The Bishops Wife with Cary Grant & David Niven. Oh not forgetting the original Scrooge!
