Sorry to hear that. My own parental association with that film is remembering my mother commenting after viewing the movie about Bette Midler to the effect that it's amazing how such an ugly woman can possess such a beautiful voice! ;bYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-70468299892727628132008-08-04T01:53:00.000+08:002008-08-04T01:53:00.000+08:00No, "Beaches" won't make it on my list.

(The short version is that it triggered a bit of a flashback for me to the time of my father's terminal illness. It was somewhat awkward, as I was watching the movie in the theater. You know many women who cried during the movie. I'm afraid "cried" would be an understatement for me.)<BR/><BR/>And theAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-90299153352378775612008-08-03T11:24:00.000+08:002008-08-03T11:24:00.000+08:00Hi Alejna --So nice to see you reading and comment...Hi Alejna --<BR/><BR/>So nice to see you reading and commenting on an entry that's off the main page! :)<BR/><BR/>Would love to see your list -- and gather that it won't have "Beaches" on it...
