dude...i saw this when i was brand new - unlike some people who were still babies (i'm looking at YOU!)

Dude, I saw it back in 1989 too, I might have been 6 but I remember it being the first movie I ever cried to!

So nahhhhh *sticks out tongue*

[n7of9]

aaawww you cried at 6 :( over a movie :(

[janee02]

omg, my mom could completely embarrass the fuck out of me with the stories of me crying as a child.

I still cry over any movie that has either animals dying or old people. I can't watch "Dances With Wolves" because the wolf gets shot, "K9" because the dog gets shot, "Turner & Hooch" because the dog gets shot AND dies, "Marley & Me"...I haven't even seen this flick because I heard the dog dies....etc, etc.

I'm a big, emotional dork so sue me.

lol I've actually never seen this film.
I probably will now that you've reced it ;]
And Dolly's in it!! lol ♥

I love Dolly...even with the oversized fake tits and obnoxious huge lips...

I got to see her perform in TN a couple years back, she has a place called Dollywood near the Smokey Mountains and it was pretty close to where we were staying in the mountain resort so we went to go see it lol. I didn't actually meet her, meet her but I saw her on stage. She's a class act :)

Yeah Dolly is pretty awesome .... They used to call my grandma Dolly when she was younger because was blond & had big boobs lol. I saw a "Dolly" drag queen tonight .... she / he performed "Working 9 to 5" - it was fun ;P

Yeah, I went through like 1/2 a box a couple days ago...it's one of the only movies I can continually watch that I know will make me cry!
