Great choices there. :theman

I actually attended a premier showing of Corrie ten Boom's The Hiding Place back in '71 or '72.
It was quite a moving experience.

My personal favorite from your list is Imitation of Life. :cry

[Melissa l]

Hi Kurtz, have you ever had the chance to read the book The Hiding Place? It really will make you sit back in awe. We really dont have it no where near as bad today as folks back then had it......

[sparks]

Oh man..."Imitation of Life" was really good! A definite tearjerker! Lana Turner was really good in that flick...and the black woman too (can't think of her name)!

Oh man...when the black woman died and the daughter came bawling laying on the casket, it tore me up! Oh man! Good movie!

I still own the copy I took to the premiere that night. What can
I say? I'm a pack rat, never throw anything sentimental away. :lol


WE may not have it that bad, but believe me there
are people in the world who hide like that NOW.
We are lucky...so far.

[Melissa l]

Thats true, people have it bad all over. We are very fortunate to be Americans. Imitation of Life just kinda brought you to your knees and ripped your guts out...

My absolute favorite!!!!

I loved that movie! True love in spite of the odds! :aww

:heart

[issac the dragon]

All of the above. Imitation of Life was the best. I love sad movies, but won't read a sad book.

[cassandra]

My absolute favorite!!!!

I hadn't seen the movie and a friend of mine said I had to watch it. She said it was just like Bill and I.

When I first met bbrown I couldn't stand him. When I agreed to go on a date with him all my friends were shocked. We are both very apssionate people. That passion can be used for good or bad.

It is the ultimate story in true love to me.

All of the above. Imitation of Life was the best. I love sad movies, but won't read a sad book.

Saddest book ever was Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas.


There was another movie with a house on the water and a mailbox that was a real tear jerker too . . . I can't remember the name.

You got a very good point, PB!

I was thinking of it only because I just saw the movie last night myself. (We get some films here in Norway a lot later than than you do in the states.) So the wife and I are sittin' there watching this. Of course I am surrounded by Norwegians who have never had to worry about their healthcare and I'm thinking 'this is embarassing'.

downright shameful. :mad

It is shameful. But I don't want anyone to get me wrong. My Norwegian friends are not critical, just sympathetic. They don't understand how what they see in that film can even happen to a person, especially in America.

It's a warm feelin' hearin' the Norwegians think so highly of Americans. :heart

Some places actually believe no one in America starves. :(

In general they do. I have a 16 year old niece who came to visit us when the wife and I lived in San Francisco four years ago. To this day she gushes about how great it was. All the teenagers here do whatever they can to imitate what the Amercian kids are doing, listening too, wearing etc. And funniest thing is that the 'hippest' thing is to speak English, which they start learning in the 1st grade here.

PS: I love you- Cecilia Ahern was a sad book, really good book too! They are actually making it into a movie starring Hilary Swank.

That was a sad movie.

The Thornbirds was a very good book that was turned into a tear jearker of a movie.
