Hitch. When he takes his girlfriend to Ellis Island and he'd got his mate to open up the Immigration Register where her grandfathers name was, i turned to my husband and said 'your grandad's name must be in one of those books somewhere' and quietly had a snivel to myself. Belle. |

Madam X With Lana Turner, she plays the wife of a wealthy man involved in politics, whose mother is against her from the start. They have a son. Husband spends weeks at a time away from them persuing his political career in Washington. She goes astray............his mother buys her off. She disappears from all their lives. Then gets involved with low life until a nosy reporter uncovers her secret and threatens to expose her to the world, and ruin husband and son in process. Many years have passed and son is now a young lawyer. Rather than put them through a scandal, she kills the reporter..... and you've guessed it................her son defends her in court, without ever realising who she is. By now she is so ill anyway, she collapses in court...........son begs her to speak in her own defence, which she wont. Then there is a tender scene at the end of the film where her son asks her if she has children and she replies, yes, I have a son. He asks her how he would feel, if he knew her present predicament? Her husband meanwhile, is sat in the back of the court with his mother...........who both gradually realise who she is. As the verdict comes in, she dies...........Boo Hoo Hoo! Gets me every single time. Also love the film.........'It's my life' with Michael Keaton. That's a real choker. Jen |

The Jazz Singer always has emotional memories for me. It was shown on the coach home from the airport after my son and I had been to Malta - he had just met his dad for the first time at the age of 3 1/2. I sobbed all through the film with my lad on my lap asleep. Lord knows what people thought! Also Ghost, Dr Zhivago and many others I can't recall right now. I am a real crybaby when it comes to sad stories. |

Nicholas' GIFT As the adoring parents cradle the fatally wounded body of their little six year old son Nicholas, they took the dicision of such extraordinary love,courage and compassion that would move the world. This family was sightseeing in Italy and in Sept, 1994,their lives were shattered one desolate night with the indiscriminate shooting of thier little boy. As he layed in hospital, his parents made the most painful decision imaginable to donate his organs so other children may recieve the gift of life. What began as an intensely private and unbelievable act of love, was soon to send emotional ripples right around the world that would come to be known as 'The Nicholas Effect'. Watch and see..So sad. Champ Last snows of spring. Lots more as i a real softy..Jay.x |
