Thanks everyone...

This one was like Titanic in that it was in the theater for months and months and everyone was surprised at just what a hit it became. Everyone is great. Whoopi Goldberg is hysterical, Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze look terrific, and the bad guy makes you want to hiss and boo. The guy who plays the ghost in the subway died not that long ago.

I thought the bad guy was VERY cute. Really, REALLY cute.

Can't remember his name though. ???

He sure was hot though.

FYI,

The hot bad guy was Tony Goldwyn: very hot and very evil!

Great movie, really holds up over time.  Whoopi provides wonderful comic relief.

Oh. The Color Purple. Another tear jerker. Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover, Adolph Caesar, Margaret Avery, Rae Dawn Chong and Whoopi Goldberg were ALL wonderful in it!

But, seriously this time Chris, have your tissues ready.... for real! :'(

It is an absolutely beautiful movie... inspiring, sad, tragic, and full of love and hope. It is  a movie that encompasses all the human emotions and it is all neatly packaged into a beautiful, heart crushing 2 1/2 hour movie.

Just prepare to cry a lot!  :)

Excellent movie, I re-watched it not that long ago. I suggest you read the book, too. The book is all letters. It is interesting to see how they adapted it to film.

I've never seen it Chris, but every time I think of renting it, I think of a particular Seinfeld episode then put it right back on the shelf...  ;)
