Flame Me If You Want... But I Cry Every Time I Watch "Steel Magnolias"
You know the scene... M'Lynn's "why-why-WHY?!" breakdown right after Shelby's graveside service.

Then I laugh and laugh and laugh!

-- Allen

P.S. Oh-my-god. It's been nearly 15 years since that movie was released.

2. My mom can't watch the "insulin shock" scene. She swears that is
exactly what happens to me (others have mentioned it also). She literally started to panic when she saw it.

All I know is, it freaked me out the first time I saw it.

Another good one for seeing southern women in our natural habitat is "Fried Green Tomatoes". Man, that movie is way too close to home! The secret's in the sauce! :scared:

10. That is my all time favorite movie scene EVER
Edited on Thu Sep-25-03 09:50 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
That and the part where Olympia Dukakis tells the kid about Wheeza the witch!

I love that movie and can recite all the lines along with it.

He's so confused he doesn't know whether to scratch his watch or wind his BUTT!

at the end of "An Affair to Remember" with Cary Grant and Deb Kerr
at the end of "The Color Purple"
during the "Philadelphia Story" when Tom Hanks is crying , and listening to opera, as he is dying of AIDS

12. Philadelphia does that to me too... the movie, not the city. Also...
... the final scene in Long Time Companion when all the friends who were lost "come back" at the end. If only.

16. Aww. I've never seen it, Allen.
It's a tearjerker, huh? Westside Story does the same thing to me.
