Beaches (1988)

The Worst Film Ever

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Did you people see the same film I saw?

As Good As It Gets

My mom told me about this film ages ago and I seen it on TV twice before and let me tell yeah that this movie was so so sad to watch I literally cried every time I watch and hear that song Wind Beneath My Wings(yeah that is hands down the saddest songs of ALL time for me as it moves me and i always cry at it).The movie tells the tale of two best friends who meet up in Atlantic Beach and knew each other since they were kids. Now as adults one of them is a singer while the other isn't but she is hiding something from her best friend,she has this condition that the doctors can't help her with and she has a few months to live.Bottom line if you are like me a big softie who gets easily upset over movies involving dad's dying,animals dying or if you lost a loved one. Then check out Beaches.

this movie is my all time favorite movie of all time. From the beginning to the end it is almost like real life events and I can relate to the movie because i myself have been through similar issues. I cry each and every time i watch it. I love the realness of the movie and wish there would have been a part two. We look at life in different ways as humans, but in all reality each of us has personally or even know somebody with a life threatening illness. How does one cope? How do we deal with illness and death? This movie is a great example of real life and how people grow closes and come together even though life has its downs. this movie will always be dear to my heart and i would recommend it to anyone even if it is over 20 years old

I love the movie Beaches so much I bought it on Amazon. Hillary dies of cardiomyopathy in the movie and that's what I have. I watch her sitting outside her beach house or sitting in her pajamas and I think about myself. Also, her last scene in the hospital gasping for air reminds me of myself when I was in the hospital. In the movie, Hillary says you know I can't walk that far when C.C. asks her to go for lobsters. Well, I have the same problem. Whoever made this movie knew what they were talking about when they show Hillary's cardiomyopathy. I just love this movie so much because it shows an accurate description of Hillary's illness. I felt bad for her daughter, Victoria also.

No, definitely not my usual sort of movie (being a bloke) but I loved this. The kids are great (and I usually hate child actors in lead roles) and Midler & Hearshey are on top form. Sure it's predictable and plays on the heartstrings but not in the vomit inducing way so many of these type of films seem to do. Brassy chick meets demure kid, chalk meets cheese, they become great mates, fall out, fall in, fall out again, fall in again, fall out, tragedy strikes and by the end the world becomes a warmer place and you'd have to have a hard heart not to have at least a lump in your throat by the end. Great theme song too. You should be able to get the DVD of this for about £2 to £3 in your local store nowadays, a bargain!
